The remington 597 guns are pretty accurate. They had some early problems with the magazines that havn't totally been fixed in the 17hmr. I recently worked on my buddies 17hmr 597 that wouldn't feed reliably. It turned out the inside of the aluminum magazine still had some die cast mould lines that the bullets and cases were hanging up on. It seems to function fine now. Coyote hunting this past winter I teased him that I could empty my bolt action 17hmr Savage faster than his 597 because it jammed so much.
