A good friend of mine has one and the only way he can get it to feed properly is to only 8 rnds in magazine. He has to carry extra mags to compensate but, as long as he only loads 8 rnds, it's still a tack driver.
I personally like the reliability of my 10-22 and the fact that I can load mags up to 50 rnds with no problems. Mine is only as accurate as his because I have a bull barrel installed. The 597 is a fantastic rimfire within it's limitations.
