Seems like you fell for the picture, but didn't read the fine print;
From Remington's website;
Well established in the world of 22 rimfire rifles, the Model 597 family of autoloading rimfires adds full-featured, AR-style versions to its line-up, the Model 597 VTR (Varmint Target Rifle) 22LR in two distinctive configurations. With performance-enhancing features derived from Remington’s platform of R-15 and R-25 modular repeating rifles, these heavy barreled, tack-driving carbines will be offered through Gander Mountain® retailers and available nationwide to dealer network through Ellett Brothers.
The are no Gander Mountain stores in Canada, the closest one is in Fargo, ND, and Ellett Brothers in an American distributor, not an exporter to Canada.
Good luck ever finding one of these 'R-15' derived .22's here in Alberta...
