I too have the 20" model from DSG.  I absolutely love it.  My first long gun.  I can sit at the range with it all day and punch paper.  Its been 100% reliable through 1000rds ( regrettably I add that I have not cleaned it even once in those 1000rds).  At 50yds with bulk ammo I get nickel size 5-shot groups, quarter size 50rd groups.  Scoped it with an inexpensive Walmart Centerpoint 4-16.  The scope is overkill for a .22 but I've enjoyed it immensely.  The only thing I would change is to get the 16.5" model instead.  Otherwise absolutely no regrets.  I replaced the sear/hammer with the Volquartsen unit purely to lighten the pull a bit.  Trigger was really pretty good out of the box.  I picked up their edge extractor too, but haven't needed it to this point.  When I do disassemble for cleaning I'll probably throw it on.

 

Main reason I went 597 was that I DID NOT want a 10/11.  I'm happy with my decision.  Since then I've added a Marlin XT-22 bolt action, which is fun, but I still prefer the semi-auto 597.

Just got one from buds a couple of weeks ago.  had it out at the range one and love it.  i have the HB with the 16" barrel.  I had a red dot lying around so i mounted that and its great.  i love the shorter barrel, it winds up being the same overall length as my AR.   will try and get a pic up later on.

Just picked mine up from dicks, on sale for $229.99 I had a $200 gift card so it cost me $60 in the end. Plus they have a $20 mail in rebate gift card and triple points on hunting coupon so another $20 back.

 

Heavy barrel, black synthetic stock, cheap 3-9x32 Remington scope. Sure it will be fine for my use though.

    • Looking to pick up a Kriss vector  in 9mm.  Let me know what you got.   Thanks Chris  
    • If you’re going to VA, buy 2 radios.  Program one for here and one for there.  If you guys are buying Baofeng radios do yourself a favor and get a tactical antenna for it,it’ll extend your reach.
    • Both our memories are a bit lacking. 3 bystanders were hit by NYPD bullets and 6 were hit by fragments at the Empire State Building shooting. The bullets later were determined to have passed through the bad guy as I said. He was not a big guy. The police fired 16 rds and 7 hit the bad guy.  Spray and pray?  I think not.  These officers fired until the threat was stopped and everyone is moving. Have you ever tried to hit a moving target whilst you're moving.  If you watch the video from where the police encounter him, the BG draws his gun from his bag, NYPD guys shoot, and the BG hit the ground is about 2 or 3 seconds.  The closest officer is maybe 12 feet or less.  The closest cover are those concrete flower pots.  If the officers chose to take cover before drawing the BG would have had a chance to shoot at least one officer. Know your target and beyond?  Agree 100%.  However, this by the Empire State Building at 9 am during the week.  There are bystanders and traffic in every direction.  The officers had a choice of doing what they did or letting the BG shoot them with his 1911 and shoot someone else. I think they made the right choice and the same one I would have made.  The officers exercised the best option in protecting themselves and the public. The first video is the police shooting.  The second is more detailed and gives you a lot of background information on the shooter. One thing this shows is if NYPD had to use fmj undoubtedly more bystanders would have been wounded perhaps killed.  NJ's hollowpoint law. only creates more danger to the public.
