  1. Where are they selling these? I am having trouble finding them online. Thanks in advance for any replies.
  2. Went out back today with two rifles - the Remington 597 and my Remington 522 I bought 40+ years ago and had not fired 100 rounds through it. I had ordered a bunch of .22 CCI Blazer ammo and had some new Thunderbolt ammo. The Blazers worked 100%. No jams, misfires, etc. Then loaded up a tube of Thunderbolts in the 552. Two jams and one weak shell. Went back to the Blazers. No further problems. We shot about 200 rounds. Remington should be ashamed for selling those. Will save them for the bolt actions. Finally, I have absolutely no idea why I had not played with the 552 before. I have a Tasco scope on it, a 3 through 7 power and it was still sighted in! Bought it when I was 19. Now 62. It worked flawlessly. The 597 VTR loved the Blazers also. I imagine you other guys must have had trouble with Thunderbolts also, or was it just me? Michigan Joe
  3. Hello everyone. Was at Gander Mountain and picked up a Remington VTR on sale for $290. Then, discovered the Tactical .22 Revolution! Viva la Revolution! Ordered a Sig 522. I do like the Remington with the straight stock. Gun is nice and heavy and pretty good shooter. No jams experienced as of yet. Have ten acres so just go out back and blast away. I'm from the M-14 era of the Army, so the red dot scope is pretty nice. Great board here. Michigan Joe
