    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

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