REMINGTON 522 OR 597?

I am not familular with the new Remington 22's out there but I think the 597 is a improved version I could be wrong on that but that is the impression I get. If the 597 is a nicer gun that the 522 25 bucks is not much to pay for the extra features. Maybe some one else can add to this. Good luck and let us know what you decide. Jim

REMINGTON 522 OR 597?

I bought a 597 for my son for Christmas a couple of years ago and as of now I have sent it back to Remington 4 times. The store where I bought it has even asked Remington to replace it for me and Remington refuses. It has NEVER emptied a clip without jamming. They just clean it and send it back. I wouldn't reccommend it to my worst enemy.

REMINGTON 522 OR 597?

I also bought a model 700 VSSF in 223 cause they looked like a pretty well put together rifle. I fired a couple hundred rounds through it (all factory)and I had a failure in the bolt face. The (factory) round washed a channel in it and "welded" the hull to the bolt face. It blew stuff all over my face. When I sent it back to Remington, they said it was obviously abused and charged me $200 to fix it. Won't own another Remington at ANY price.
