Remington 597 (22WMR) - Gun smith recommendation

[Jasarii]

Gentlemen,
I have a Remington 597 22 magnum rifle that is having a trigger reset issue. I'm trying to get this fixed for my father and may have to resort to just taking it in to a gun smith.
Any gunsmiths on our BS boards here that have a good knowledge in The Rem 597 models? I'm located in Walker.

The specific issue:
Rifle fires first shot. Second round IS cambered, but trigger does not reset. (Set screws are NOT over tightened...back off 1/4 turn). Guide rod springs are properly reinstalled as well.
I'm using 45gr Winchester Dyna point 22MG ammo.

I've disassembled and did not notice anything out of the ordinary. Read a lot on rimfirecentral forums and YouTube.
A lot of guys are saying to polish the guide rods, etc. so I'll try that next. If no luck, then I'll go with a good gunsmith.
Thanks

try changing ammo, I am a gunsmith by trade and have seen alot of problems with this ammo
in firearms that have never had problems before. If needed come see me at Hebert Guns and we will check it out.

No luck with a few different types of ammo.
Bigjakewelch is going to look it over for me.
Thanks
