Alright guys I thіnk I covered everything іn thе video bυt јυѕt іn case I’m going tο ехрlаіn here аѕ well. Mу рlаn wіth mу Remington 597 іѕ tο turn іt іntο a “tactical” rifle. I’m going tο ѕtаrt bу buying clear 30 round magazine аnd modifying those. I’m thеn going tο bυу Picatinny rails аnd install those tο thе lower рοrtіοn οf thе stock аnd thе sides. Thе last step wіll bе tο paint thе stock іntο ѕοmе sort οf camo. Thіѕ іѕ whеrе I need уουr hеlр.

@mexodus do you own both dick head? I do. Ruger is a TAD bit better in ways, but you obviously have never touched the remington 597. Stop repeating what you have heard from others, it’s none sense and childish.
@tubefed420 Yeah I wouldn’t mind getting a Ruger 10/22 but at the same time I wonder do I really need two . 22 caliber rifles. I don’t mind having two AR’s because they are high caliber rifles, but do I need two small caliber rifles. . . I don’t know. I’m actually surrounded by wheat fields which is why I chose to go with FDE. To be honest I choose my colors and camo simple by what I think is cool. I don’t worry about it actually matching my environment. Thanks for commenting, take care.
@mexodus Well I will agree the Ruger 10/22 is an excellent rifle. I would love to get a Ruger 10/22 down the road, this is just what I bought as a young teenager. I will also say it’s completely up to each shooter on what rifle they think is best. You might love the Ruger but someone else might love the Remington. Thanks for your vulgar comment, in all caps no less, you must’ve been really serious. Nice work.
RUGER 10 22 IS 10 TIME BETTER THAN THAT CRAPPY GUN !!
THose are really good rifles. You need a 10/22 if you dont own one allready. As for your camo, what part of the county do you live in? desert camo would stand out where i live, and what i use here is worthless in some parts. if your after pure second kind of cool, Id go digital acu
@landon460 I’ll be honest I haven’t shot mine in a long time but when I did I loved it. I had zero issues and saved a ton of money on ammo. Like any gun I would give it a break in period before casting any judgements. Let me know what you think of it when you get out and shoot it.
How do you guys like these rifles? I bought one a while back but haven’t had time to use it so I don’t know how it shoots.
@SimsSnowbourder4 I haven’t had any extraction issues. Well let me say I’ve never had them to the point where I think it’s the rifle. I contribute the few extraction issues to the ammo I’m using. I never use expensive stuff, just cheap crap from Wal-Mart. After talking with quite a few people I’ve learned Remington’s 597 is hit or miss. . . sometimes they run 100% and other times they have repetitive issues.
ive had that gun for about 1 or 2 years and i dont have the sights for if i didnt have the scoop and it has a problem with poping the shells out do youhave theat problem.
@Maat922 thats awesome dude
I bought a 597 from guy for $50. After stripping off the high-gloss krylon “camoflage” paintjob, I found it was the red “Dale Earnhardt” edition. That wasn’t good. I wanted to keep it cheap, so I hosed down the stock with truck-bed liner from a rattle can. Tough as snot and looks soooo tacticool :0)~
Great little gun! It even cycles subsonic!!
@AlfonsFromAtech Wow dude, thanks for the comment. Take care.
Doesn’t matter it’s not my gun but yours so i don’t really care
@AlfonsFromAtech Well unfortunately your a tad late on casting your vote. I already started painting the rifle and I’m going with the multi-cam pattern. . . sorry.
@Primeda Nice choice because that’s the camo I decided to go with.
CAMO duracoat ACU or FOLIAGE GREEN.
multi cam
@karikaru You know if you’re looking to do a camo paint job as cheap as possible, your best bet is to print out the pattern. Then trace the different sections of the camo on to some paint and just go layer by layer. Now you want to pay close attention to the sizing of the pattern when you print it. You don’t want it to be to small where it will take you forever, but not to big where it doesn’t fit. As for paint your cheapest is going to be the Camo Krylon paint.
@MustyYetisTacticalHQ Any good sources for inexpensive, but decent paint for a gunstock? or camo stencils?
@karikaru Nice, youll definitely like it. Ive really enjoyed mine and havent had a problem with it yet. Its not to late. The beauty about installing the picatinny rail section is I can change things as I see fit. I can easily install a bipod or a sling swivel, heck I might be able to do all three. Im constantly amazed how people tell me how my choices are crappy or cheesy. I love them thats why I bought them. If you dont like it thats cool, just dont knock me for liking them. You know?
Just bought one of these today. I know it’s probably too late to suggest it but I think it would look much cooler if you install a forward sling swivel (like $15) and get a bipod than a forward grip. Also, I think the 30 round mag looks a bit cheasy on . 22s
@flubber8396 It was a tie with me between the ACU and Multi Cam. . . I decided to go with Multi Cam, sorry. Like I just told someone I screwed up my first attempt so I had to sand everything down and I’m giving it a second try now. It isn’t as easy as I thought it would be. The Remington will be a great rifle for you, I love mine and have had zero problems with it.
@beatcook Yeah I know what you mean about being scared you might screw something up. I actually just started painting my 597, and I did screw it up. What’s nice about paint is you can always sand it down and restart, which is what I’m doing now. If you’re really scared practice on something small first. If you’re doing a solid color I wouldn’t worry, if you’re going with a patter then a practice run might help. Let me know if I can help out any more. Take care and good luck.
i like the acu camo the best. i just bought one of these and havent shot it yet. mine came with a remington scope with it. ty for the video very good.
i just went ahead and bought a 597 VTR. . im dying to paint it, but am terrified to screw it up. . . any idea how to fix it if i did?
