Ditka ,if you want a cheap 22 mag ,look at the NEF,Firearms it a single shot break-open action, with a High-density polymer stock.22' barrel, The semi-auto going cost a lot more,
If your going to do more plinking than small game hunting, with this gun a 22 longrifle would be cheaper to shoot,
In my area 22mag are around 12$ for 100,while, 100 22longrifle go around 3$ plus there more of a selection of 22lr.

Singleshot is right,22mags are quite a bit more expensive to shoot. I had mine out today and the ammo was $6.49 per 50 round box, I use a Marlin 25MN shot 2in 100 yard groups today and it was a bit windy.

I own a Rem. 22 Mag 597. What a tack drivin machine. I bought it because it felt best in my hands. It has a 14" pull and thats the largest I've seen in the 22 caliber, from the factory. It went for $329, only because it was the Heavy Barrel model. Standard 597's were $250.

The Remington 597 is junk. If you ever tear it apart and look at the trigger mechanism you will want to throw the whole thing out the window.

RE: 22 Mag
 

Rem 597 is not junk, you dont know what your talking about. Ive had one for about 3 years now, and not one problem. Ive probaly used 2,000 rounds. Never Jammed, miss fired, no nothing ! Its a nice gun.

How much are Rem 597 22 mag ?

RE: 22 Mag
 

If they are so good why is it that most gunsmiths won't touch them and several reputable gunshops I know refuse to sell them? I had one. The trigger was crap, the workmanship was shotty and the thing jammed all the time. Don't tell me I don't know what I am talking about.

I haven't heard anything really good about the Remington 597. If you got a good one count yourself as Lucky.If you want a good 22 Mag that's if you can find one.The HK 300 but they are bring a premium price.They are no longer imported so used is about the option. Ruger Redhawk
