The Remington 597 is a semi-automatic rimfire rifle, and this modern-production example in .22 LR comes with a 20-inch barrel, a gray synthetic stock and a Remington 3-9x32mm scope already mounted. The supplier describes the bore as bright with strong rifling and grades the rifle very good overall.

With the scope fitted, this is a ready-to-go small game and plinking rifle for Utah: the 3-9x magnification covers everything from a 25-yard sight-in to a longer shot across a sagebrush flat, the synthetic stock does not care about rain or a truck bed, and .22 LR keeps practice simple. It is not a rifle for the deer or elk hunts the Division of Wildlife Resources runs in October; check the division's rules for small game seasons. A buyer of 18 can take a rifle from a Utah dealer under federal law.
