Microgunner Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Ellett Bros. just got a whole slew in. You think it's worth the $321.00 it'd cost me?http://www.remington.com/products/firearms/rimfire_rifles/model_597/model_597_vtr.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geez putting a picture of a rifle in front of me is almost as bad as nudes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Microgunner Posted October 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 OK. I just ordered the 597 VTR and (2) 30 rnd magazines for it. It comes with a 10 rounder. I ordered it mostly out of fustration of not being able to order a S&W M&P15-22. None of the wholesalers we buy from have the S&W in stock. I'll get the S&W as soon as the crunch eases up but for now at least it's a new firearm to feed my addiction. Plus, I like Remington and don't own a 597.

imschur Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 I love your logic. :beer: Im pretty curious about this rifle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Microgunner Posted October 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 Today's my first day back to work (my Monday) and I find my 597VTR arrived yesterday along with the (2) 30 rnd. mags and the TruGlo 2x red & green 2.5MOA dot scope #TG8030DB2. Out of the box this rifle feels alot better than I expected with it's aluminum receiver housing & free floated aluminun fore end tube. The trigger group/mag well is plastic but appears well done. Trigger pull is creepy and heavy but much superior to my Colt's M4 OPS 22. Let me screw some parts together & see how it runs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Microgunner Posted October 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 Mounted the 2x TruGlo red dot sight. IT'S HORRIBLE. The FOV is tiny. It's like looking through a paper towel roll and the optical aberration is pronounced/excesive. One of the worst sights I've ever looked through. Why me?
