One word sums up the 597. JUNK! The guns jam frequently. The trigger is very heavy and is not adjustable. There is too much plastic in the trigger linkage. I have no idea what Remington was thinking on this. Well, probably the same thing they were thinking with the 710. If you are stuck on semi-auto for some reason, get a 10/22. If you like a bolt, check out Marlin. Marlins are well built, inexpensive and highly accurate.
