RE: Ruger 10/22 Magnum vs. remington 597 mag.
Guess your going to get the 597. Ruger has stopped making the .22mag auto due to a design problem and the sales of those guns weren't enough to justify fixing the design. Check out rimfirecentral.com to get latest news. Hear good and bad about the remington with most problems being attributed to bad magazines, so make sure you get a few spares. hope it helps.
