Frequently Asked Questions
Remington 597 rifle

How much is a Remington 597 worth today?

Remington 597 rifles average $237.50 new and $221.41 used based on 12-month sales data, with most examples selling between $100 and $250 depending on model and condition. Good to very good condition rifles typically bring $150–$250. Six variants are currently available across multiple retailers, though stock is limited.

Is the Remington 597 any good?

The Remington 597 is accurate and lightweight at 5.5 pounds, making it easy to handle. It's reasonably priced around $170 and works well for range shooting. However, it has a known history of extraction and feeding problems that Remington never fully resolved, so reliability can be inconsistent.

Is the Remington 597 still made?

Remington discontinued the 597 in 2019. Used and remaining new-old-stock units are still available through secondary markets and retailers, with prices typically ranging from $62 to $306.

What are the common problems with the Remington 597?

Common issues include extractor failures causing failure to eject, magazine feed problems with the original synthetic design, and bolt binding on guide rods. Some users also report failure to fire. These problems remained consistent complaints throughout the rifle's production run.

Where is the Remington 597 manufactured?

Remington manufactured the 597 in Hickory, KY through 2016, then moved production to Huntsville, AL from 2017 onward. It was not made in Ilion, New York.

How many bullets does a 597 magazine hold?

Standard Remington 597 magazines hold 10 rounds. The 597 is chambered in .22 LR and .22 WMR. Aftermarket extended magazines are available, with some holding up to 30 rounds.

How much is a Remington 597 magazine?

Remington 597 magazines typically cost around $20–$40 for standard 10-round OEM magazines. Extended or drum magazines can run higher, sometimes $50–$100 or more. Prices vary by capacity and retailer. Check current listings on sites like GunBroker, Midway USA, or Brownells for up-to-date pricing.

What is the best scope for the Remington 597?

Scope choice depends on your intended use. For .22 LR plinking, budget 3-9x40 options like the Simmons 8-Point work well. For .22 WMR or .17 HMR at longer distances, a 4-12x40 variable scope provides better precision. Rimfire-rated scopes handle the 597's forward recoil cycle better than standard hunting scopes.
