No 597
If you don't want a 10/22 Ruger for some weird reason,,,,I'd get the Marlin 60. A friend of mine purchased a new 597 about 4 years ago. It was hard to belive that Remington made such a bad example of a .22lr semi auto rifle. After about 6 months the finish looked terrible, it would not feed without jamming (yes it was cleaned over and over again). Resale value was terrible so many others must know about the quality issues as well. All of this because he wanted something " different " than a Ruger 10/22. Bad decision !
