What's the deal with my 597?

Do yourself a favour, just buy a Mossberg Plinkster, shoots all ammo without the jam-ups, it cost less and is just as accurate,mind-you can only get 10 round mags at the moment.

i was @ the range on sunday with a guy who was shooting one of those, he was always clearing jams!

Cheap semi auto 22's are all hit and miss to be honest.

You must either gun gunsmith of the year, or have a gun with magical non-jamming powers.

The rifle has just over 16k rounds through it now... Its well broken in and smooth like butter. Like every semi auto it had a few teething issues, a crappy stock extractor and me tightening the guide rails too much in the early days. After 3 bulk packs it had smoothed up considerably and has ran perfect for the last couple of years. My father has a 597 YellowJacket, has had a few extraction issues with it. He has around 200 rounds through it. I replaced the stock extractor with a VQ one and that has seemed to help.

No it doesn't!!

It particularly dislikes Winchester Super-X ammo (it's a ##### to load in the magazines because the cases are slightly longer), and it hates Remington Thunderbolt ammo.

Best stuff I've found so far is Remington Viper and American Eagle in mine.
