I've bought 5 guns so far. :tup: Couple nice ones I'm excited about and a couple that were just the right price.
Figured since I should be done buying for now I'd pass along the info. :chuckle:

I've had a couple 597's and they were great little guns but with that heavy factory trigger it made them hard to shoot with any amount of accuracy, the VQ Target Hammer makes a night and day difference.

You gotta love it when you get smoking good deals on close outs. A few years ago when Sportsmans Warehouse was going out of business I made a nice grab on a Benelli M2 Tactical for $439.00 I tried to by two of them but they only had the one.

Griz231, those little 597's are typically pretty good little 22's but they usually have a VERY heavy trigger pull. Do yourself a favor and order a VQ Target Hammer it'll make shooting it accurately a whole lot easier by lowering the trigger pull from 6-8 lbs down to about 3 lbs.

Thanks for the info. I did notice it was a bit heavy. Came with a scope on it and after getting it dialed in its a good little shooter.

That's something I've never done. I'd prob screw it up. I'm sure there are you tube videos. If you end up having one let me know. I'd buy it off ya
Just looked and I must have given it to the person I sold my last 597 to. I put the Jard trigger in my last one and thought I maybe kept the VQ Target Hammer I originally put in it but must not have. You are more than welcome to the two factory hammers I have if you want them. Send me a PM with your info and I'll be happy to mail them to you free of charge.
Another option to lighten the trigger and cost a little less would be the MCarbo hammer spring w/bushing kit.

There are few good deals left down there. 40% off on guns and ammo.

I stopped in this morning and they only had a handful of shotguns and rifles left. One was a Stoeger Condor 20 ga. O/U, so i jumped on it. Looks like a pretty nice shotgun for the price. Can't wait for September 1 to try it out on a few grouse !!

My son worked at the store in Covington. I asked him if they had any decent prices, he said they really did not mark anything down just put the signs up and people started buying?

I am curous how much of a savings compared to before the "going out of buisiness" sale you guys are getting?I was getting the guns and ammo at 40% off. I checked each gun before I bought them to make sure they were consistent in pricing. For instance the Remington 597's are $225-250 and I paid $140.
