The Model 597 operates on a semi-automatic blowback system and is built around an alloy receiver with a matte blued/black finish. Its twin tool-steel bolt guide rails are a hallmark of the design, supporting smooth cycling and consistent bolt travel. The action incorporates a last-shot bolt hold-open and right-side ejection.
The rifle is chambered in .22 LR and uses a detachable box magazine design. No iron sights are installed. A cross-bolt safety provides straightforward control, and the stock configuration is a sporter profile with a straight comb for a clean, classic rimfire handling feel.
The 20 inch sporter-contour barrel is made from carbon steel and finished to match the receiver. The length of pull measures 14.0 inches, offering a comfortable fit for a wide range of shooters. The finish throughout is a practical matte blued/black.
This example is equipped with a Remington 3-9x32 scope, identifiable by the script R logo on the turret cap, and mounted in two rings. The Model 597 platform was produced in the United States from 1997 to 2019, adding appeal for those seeking a discontinued American-made rimfire autoloader.
