I just got through tradin' a guy out of a new looking Remington M597 .22 mag rifle. I traded him a little 90cc motorcycle I've had for several years, left over from selling the things and not worth a lot. It started fine and he's happy. he really got the better of the deal, but then I couldn't sell the thing for much more than the gun's worth at this point, busted rear fender and some rust on it.
So, I figured get the thing out of my way in the old shop and get a new rifle to boot. Anyone got any opinions on this rifle? Anyone have one? It's got a Bushnell trophy scope with 1" scope on it, 3x9 with adjustable focus, and what look like Millet rings, but probably aren't 'cause I can't find "Millet" on 'em anywhere. It's all flat black finish with a plastic stock. I'll probably take it out to the range Sunday and give it a whirl. He had a couple boxes of ammo with it, CCI, and this goofy lock thing for the safety... Heck, early Christmas!!!
I've never owned a .22 mag rifle, thought of it now and then, not really much use for one. I guess I could shoot coyotes with it if nothin' else, not that I do much coyote huntin' though there's bunches of the things down on my place. It's on of those things I probably would never have bought, but trades are different. LOL!
