Introducing the Remington Model 597, a semi-automatic bolt action rifle that marries history with high performance. This classic American-made firearm, hailing from Remington Arms, a company with a rich lineage dating back to 1816, is a testament to time-honored craftsmanship and technological innovation. This 2003 model has been diligently maintained, showing only minor signs of prior use and handling, and is in good overall condition. The sale includes the rifle itself accompanied by a 10-round magazine.
What sets the Model 597 apart is its proprietary bolt-guidance system, renowned for its reliability and accuracy, making it a formidable contender in the realm of .22 Long Rifle semi-automatic rifles. It sports a matte blued finish, offering a low-gloss, mottled appearance that not only reduces glare but also boasts excellent resistance against corrosion. The grey textured synthetic stock provides a sturdy grip, enhancing handling and control.
For the shooting enthusiasts, this rifle features a 20" barrel, drilled and tapped for the addition of physical sights of your choice. The bore condition is excellent, promising unerring accuracy on each shot. The blowback action, which employs the force of the gas pressure from the cartridge once fired to cycle the action, ensures consistent cycling and a smooth trigger pull. This translates to improved accuracy, making the Remington Model 597 ideal for recreational shooting, small game hunting, or training novice shooters.
Adding to its user-friendly features is a Center Point 4-16x40 scope, simplifying target acquisition and improving precision. With a generous capacity of 10+1 rounds, the Remington Model 597 allows you to enjoy extended shooting sessions before needing to reload. In essence, this rifle offers a blend of top-quality craftsmanship, performance, and longevity, making it a valuable addition to any firearm collection.
