Pros and Cons to the Rem 597:
Pros: Accurate, well bedded free floating bull barrel, well balanced and nice feel to the stock, has 30 round mag.
Cons: Hard to disassemble/re-assemble, Requires Allan Wrenches and fiddling around with springs, Has feeding problems with many types of ammo, magazine is mostly plastic - very little steel on this gun in general.
Overall - good gun, but there's no way it should be priced higher than the Ruger 10/22.
[4 of 5 Stars!]
