True! many duds w the Remington.

I bought a Remington 597 .22LR and Remington ammo (Cyclone) to go with it. I should have opted for the Ruger 10/22 (which I later traded the Remington toward). Between the 597 and the ammo, I had a 10% fail-to-fire rate. I tried to fire off 100 rounds, and had 10 that didn't go bang.

After picking up the Ruger 10/22 I decided to feed it the Federal ammo. I was more than two thirds of the way through a 550 round box before the first misfire. All told, I've put almost 1,000 rounds through it, and had only two not go bang.

I had the same problem with Remington .22 ammo no matter what I tried shooting it in, and Winchester brass, ,22LR and.22WMR, will split. It doesn't hurt anything in a single action revolver but sometimes it wont extract in a semi auto,.22LR, or in a bolt action .22WMR rifle.

I was really impressed with the build on the Magnum Research custom .22 rifle. The receiver is Ruger 10/22 based with a built-in Picatinny rail. It has the skeletonized stock in a very nice laminate and a carbon fiber barrel. That's where there happiness ended. I was getting misfires out of the box. It was light strikes. I purchased a different firing pin with more surface area where it contacts the rim and a stronger hammer spring. That fixed it. No more misfires. A beautifully balanced rifle. Click the picture for info. I just learned that Magnum Research was acquired by Kahr Arms.
