So here's the story, I bought a brand new Remington 597 at Walmart in 22lr for plinking. I get the gun home and as I look at it, I notice the barrel says it's chambered for 22 magnum. Now I'm wondering if I scored another 597 in a magnum? ( I already have a heavy barreled one ) Upon further inspection, everything else us set up for long rifle. I put the gun back in the box and email Remington. They say it's a Screwup and to just go ahead and use it as a 22lr. My first thought is, is that safe? What if someone grabs it and single loads a magnum if that would even work? Next, how in the he'll do you explain that story if you want to sell it? I guess right now, I will just let it stay in the box unfired.... Maybe it will be collectible???
