Model 597 new furniture
Posted: Thu Jan 17, 2019 6:38 pm
My new Pro Varmint stock (walnut) finally came today, along with a Weaver scope base. Oddly, my factory bolts are too long, or it should have stated you need to purchase (from third party) the metal inserts for a different (from my) 597. It was stated for a different model stock but not the Pro Varmint the inserts are needed but they don't sell them. Some dirt in the finish and mismatched mill work at the fore end of the stock. Other than that I'm tickled. New scope and bipod mounted, it's off to the range tomorrow. Taking lots of ammo this time. If I can figure out how to reduce the size of my photos, I'll post up a pic or two.
