A Full Review and Breakdown of The Remington 597 — Should You Buy?
Written by John Wren|
The rifle stays a dealer. Caldwell bags. Wiley X Saber. A 3-9 if bases exist. Cleaning kit and a gun sock.
Key takeaways
- Handle the rack gun.
- Bags for the trigger.
- Glasses always.
- Dry barrel, one sock.
A Remington 597 you will still shoot is a rimfire you bought at a licensed counter, a rest you already packed, and a cleaning rod you will still run — not a catalog “tactical .22” you have not held. The short answer: take the 597 to a dealer if you still want that specific rifle, then buy Caldwell bags, Wiley X glasses, a cleaning kit, and a knit sock.
Short version. Shooting 101 is the habit. Ruger American add-ons if the other rifle is already a centerfire. Pair with rated glasses. Check live prices.
This page is the rimfire kit. The 597 itself stays a licensed counter. This is the bags, the glasses, the kit, the sock, a 3-9 if the barrel already has bases.
The 597 is a dealer rifle. A listing photo is not a serial.
Do: handle the one in the rack. Don’t: a “like a 597” mailbox you cannot return. Magazines and ammo stay a counter. Ownership. A range bag if the other Saturday is already a pistol.
Bags if you will still learn the trigger from a rest
The Caldwell Deadshot front and rear bags are the live rest we named. Check live prices.
Do: the same bags every zero. Don’t: a backpack as a rest. A field zero is the later door. A 50-yard rimfire zero is still a zero you write.
Glasses before the first string. Always.
The Wiley X Saber Advanced is the live pair we named. Check live prices.
A 3-9x40 hunting scope is the live glass we named if the 597 already has bases you trust. Confirm rings on the listing. Check live prices.
Do: a shop that will still mount it. Don’t: a cantilever you guessed. A spotting scope if the other Saturday is already a glassing hill.
Rimfire lead is still a mess. Run the rod.
The compact firearm cleaning kit is the live kit we named. The knit gun sock is the live sleeve we named. Check live prices.
Do: one rifle, one sock. Don’t: a wet barrel in a knit. Gun socks.

Frequently asked questions
Should I buy a Remington 597?
Only after you handle that specific rifle at a licensed counter. This page is the kit around it, not a mailbox serial.
Do you sell the 597 here?
No. The rifle, magazines, and ammo stay a licensed counter.
What rest?
Caldwell Deadshot bags if you will still learn the trigger from a rest.
What scope?
A 3-9x40 if the 597 already has bases a shop will mount. Glasses first — Wiley X Saber.
How do I store it?
A knit gun sock, one rifle, a dry barrel.
Is it a hunting rifle?
It is a rimfire. Small game and a lot of practice. A centerfire hunt is a different rifle.
