Anyone used a Remington 597???

[blackfox 9]

Just wondering if anyones used a remington 597.... the one i like is the AR-15 style model

 

 

 

 

Ive had a ruger 10/22 and wasnt overly keen, im just wondering if these are better made and more reliable with the round-cycling. And yes i know, i did keep the 10/22 clean!!

 

A bit of info from the remington website
