You bet I can help. I can save you pain, headaches and frustration by telling you to stay far, far away from the Remington 597. It is total junk with a capital J. The trigger is terrible, the action is like a sand trap at a golf course and it jams frequently. The best bet is a Ruger 10/22. You can' t go wrong with one of those. Accurate, dependable and if you want to customize it there are all sorts of accessories. I built one not long ago with a Power Custom hammer and sear, a Fajen thumbhole stock and an Adams and Bennett target barrel. I had it at the range the other day and you really couldn' t ask for a better 22 LR. Again, my advice is no matter what you get stay away from the Remington 597.
