I sent my Remington 597 .17 HMR to a Remington service center in August to be rebarreled to 22 mag. I did this so I could safely shoot it. I tought selling it back to them for a two hundred dollar coupon towards a Remington firearm was a little cheap on their part. Yesterday I called the service center in Minnesota to see if they had it and when I may get it back. They informed me that they had pallets full of 597's in their back room. This is because Remington isn't sending them any 597 .22 mag barrels. I then called Remington and got the run around about how they were overwhelmed by the number sent in for rebarrel. Maybe if they would have stepped up to the plate and payed closer to the value of the rifle more of them would have been removed from service. This is terrible customer service.
