Their buy back offer is a joke. They are tring to blame the ammo,it's all made at the same place.
It's a 597 17 HMR = POS thing!
I do know one guy, no kidding, who sent in a blown up 597 HMR and Remington actually sent him, at his request, a new 700sps! Not too shabby...but that shows you how anxious they are to get the 597s off the street, and happy customers...
