[QUOTE="bman73, post: 551137, member: 31591"] I recently just bought the 597 and must say I am very impressed with it. I chose it over the ruger because of the stock, right out of the box the remington just felt better, the ruger felt too small and seemed to suit a junior aged shooter. I know that the stock can be replaced but I didn't want to buy the gun and then spend more money to make it feel the way the remington did righ out of the box. The ammo choice on it is important, if I use the cheap blazer ammo I get stovepipe jams at least once per 10 rounds so I tried the remington thunderbolt and the jamming went away entirely. It is also really accurate for what it is, I regularly shoot it at 200 meters and group at less than 4", not too bad for cheap ammo and a $49 tasco scope on a less than $200 gun. As far as the shotgun choice, you definately can't go wrong with the 870. Have had my express mag for almost 15 years now and have never had a minute of trouble with it, not one jam ever or feed issue no matter what ammo has gone through it. Whatever choice you make hope this has helped and have fun [/QUOTE]
