I have no pictures at the moment but both my son and I, as well as my normal hunting partner are all using Remington 597 heavy barrels. My son and I have Pursuit "tactical" 3-9 scopes, my buddy is using a Tasco pencil thin scope. I'm hoping to break him of that scope and actually get something into the 1980's, even a Bushnell rimfire scope will be better than he's using.
I also have a 10/22 that will be slated for the wife, unless it sells. Once it sells then she will be sporting a 597 decked out like ours. She likes the feel of them better and they just plain work.
My other 22 is another semi. It's a Mossberg 151K. It needs some love but it still shoots. It was my grandmothers rifle. They were produced for less than a year in the 1950's from what I can find.
The other buddy we bring out has Chinese bolt 22 that is quite the shooter. He also just purchased the fancy Savage 17HMR. The one with the twist fluted barrel and the red/pink wood rain thumb hole stock. That thing is fun to shoot.
