Whats the word on this gun?
Anyone have some good info on this gun? Looking at getting one in the 22mag heavy barrel model any thoughts or advise?
Well one of the sharpest gun gurus posted just before you.
Maybe he'll be back.
Rem 597's are very accurate out of the box.
The weak link is the magazines. There are three generations of mags 1st= plastic, 2nd =metal , third metal and slightly modified.
If the gun's new it should have the latest mags which should be trouble free.
You don't need lots of oil!!!!! Just prudent light lubrication.
Jambing occurs often when the guide rails are too tight. They only need to be finger tight. Also make sure there's no burrs on the feed areas of your mag.
Your manual addresses the rail issue.

Had One A Few Years Back
I had a 597 back when they first came out. Mine had the original plastic magazines. If you get your hands on any of those be careful how you clean them. I used a spray cleaner which literally turned the magazine into crumbled pieces of plastic. When the first generation of metal magazines came out I replaced the plastic ones.
The accuracy was terrific on mine. But I also had feed problems with it. It would do fine for a hundred rounds or so but as it got dirty the feed problems rapidly escalated. It just did not tolerate much buildup of powder residue. I don't mind cleaning my guns but a .22 that I bought for plinking I don't want to have to be constantly cleaning while I am out shooting. I'd like to be able to shoot a brick of ammo without having problems.
