Not yet, but may be getting one in the near future. Ma and Bear and I were off on a trip through the local countryside the other day on a basic fun road trip and stopped at a gun shop in a nearby tow that has been in the area for years also. They had one looked to be new for #50.00 marked down for sale, these have been out of manufacture for some time I believe? Might trade in Remona for a partial payment on her, always wanted a pump and now I have had one. The gun looks to be pretty much of a clone of the Ruger 10/22 race bun but the stock is ambidextrous, to fit this old south side shooter. I believe the Ruger race guns had a sheek piece and were right
handed.Probably stop by next week and see how they will deal.

Well, my cyber spy network informed me that you were considering a YJ so I couldn't resist

As to Remona, she was much nicer than her sister Ugly which I also sold off. In that rifle I love the Lever action which brings me to agreeing that a trade might be in order for the YJ. I only wish that it was on the rack at your Pals GS so that you could test drive it to assure that it is not a stinker. Does the GS that has it know anything about it? You already own a tack driver semi 10/22. Regards

This one didn't sell for $350 on Gun Broker just now

This one is new and unfired also. The shop is only about 15 miles away and does not have a gunsmith but they take their gunsmith work to my friends shop mostly.

$587.00 MSRP on Remington website (above) It looks like they still have them.
They aslo have "tactical" version.
Pesonally I'm pretty tired of hearing the word 'Tactical'. Anything one uses from sticks and rocks to Nuclear rockets could be 'tactical' depending
on how it's used.
Just sayin'.

Paint it black and put a doohickey to attach something and it is "tactical"

which I also sold off.

That's an interesting concept. You mean you don't keep everyone you buy? Never quite thought of that.

Seen them tactical guys at the range, Young guys20's or early 30's, baggy camo and boots, run around shouting commands like a REAL DI, got black guns and ,make a big production of laying out all their stuff on a table. Buy the time they get set up Bear and I are gone, we got all day every day to have fun.

You got to have a loyal dog, you know that. Bet the real Kaz covers for you too.
Actually did try the camo once, but I set it down and have not been able to find it since.Sure worked good, I think?

Well, with the excellent stable of 10/22 rifles that you possess the bar is set pretty high for that 597. What if it out shoots them

Really do not expect it to, got to go to your 40X to get one to outshoot Mr "T" or Pretty Boy. If it shoots as good as Henry we will be satisfied. Expect it to do better than Moses or Nyla or Remona if she does not get traded.

I'll be looking forward to a user review of the WASP. Your early targets show that it shoots, so who knows how good it can get with your fine tuning, and ammo testing. Regards
