RE: Remington Model 597
I shot a couple hundred rounds through my597 yesterday while I was waiting for my 30-30 barrel to cool off. Not one fail to feed, fail to fire, fail to eject, even with the old style plastic clips. Best group was 75 rounds of Wolf Match Target into a quarter size group at 50 yards.
10/22's have a reputation as being very reliable, but all the stock ones I see are not very accurate.
