No its there new semi-auto,I'm looking at the .22 long rifle,they have different classes in this model,I'm going to get the 597,with the sinthetic stock.the cheapest one.it looks good but I have heard alot of different oppions on it,just wanted to see if any BFT guys had one and how they liked it.

I dont know anything about that model. However I have learned that with Semi autos that if you shoot cheap ammo in them, mainly the cheap stuff that has wax on them, they will gum up the action really fast. Make sure that you shoot quality ammo such as stingers etc. Will make a big diffrence.

My dad has one of them. He likes it more than his Marlin 10/22! I've shot it and like it too. Both guns are nice. His is also the synthetic stock.
