oldschoolsdime92 Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 I purchased a remington 597 .22 and want to mount a scope. Anyone have any recommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teddyang Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 what are you going to shoot? how far out are you going to shoot? and whats your price range? Schmidt and Bender is one of the top brands (it's like the Gucci of scopes) but with that comes price. For a good balance of quality and price i'd suggest a Night Force scope.

kawi kid Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 Can't go wrong with vortex. They make quality entry level stuff at a reasonable price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pokey Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 Yup....depends on what you plan on shooting, but I would get the best you are willing to pay for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedytriple Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 I have a rem 597 also, I have a nikon prostaff on it and like it a lot. It has good clear glass for a cheap scope. Has never lost zero, and has pretty good eye relief. Vortex, muelller, are also both nice scopes for around the same money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolsdime92 Posted August 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 How do you like your 597? We put 60 or 70 rounds through it yesterday without any trouble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedytriple Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 First thing you need to do is clean it an adjust the guide rails. I used a dry teflon lube on mine once that was done it was flawless for about 1500 rnds then the extractor started acting up. I am gonna replace it with a vq model. I like it otherwise good gun for the price. I also free floated my barrel and bedded the action. Shoots pretty good groups at fifty yards for a gun I have just over $300 into including the scope and a bipod. Check out the 597 section on www.rimfirecentral.com for tips on how to make your gun a tack driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
