I got one in a 22 mag. Lam. stock w/heavy barrel and i love it! But if its really small game i gotta stick with my 10/22

Ruger 10/22 is still way better

i beg to differ bigbucks98, though the magazine to the 10/22 is far better, thats it. The remington has 2 slide rails and is built much more solid. And as far as accuracy, im yet to find a 10/22 that will outshoot my stock 597.

Lookin for one in 22 mag to replace my old marlin. Prolly one of the only people you'll talk to who don't like the 10/22

I love my Ruger 10/22. My favorite gun by far!

id say that your 597 might have better accuracy that my hunting 10/22 but not my bench 10/22. I will bet any and all of my guns that that gun will outshoot ur 597 and dont even say it wont. I cand hardly see my goup at 100 yards of a full 10 round clip with my index finger over it.

WOW!!!! You must be a really good shot, or at least "your" confident that your a good shot....congrats to you for having one fine bench 10/22!

I have one in .22lr and it`s been a great . I had 2 of the hunting 10/22 and got ride of them .The 10/22 can be a nice gun if you dump a ton of money on them.
Ill say with my remington any day.
