 Description: 

The apparent popularity of M16/AR15-style rifles has sparked off a lot of new designs over the years. Not counting the actual 22 LR drop on/in kits for the generic 223 gun, many semi-auto rimfires have been morphed to look like the black rifle and even offer a similar hi-capacity magazine. Typically the Ruger 10/22 started it all and the introduction of the Nordic Arms chassis system gave existing owners the chance to make their rifle into a look-a-like. Since then Ruger has capitalised on this with their dedicated SR22, which again uses Nordic components, though this time the gun is available as a complete unit.

Well now its Remington’s turn to come out of the closet with a similar design called the VTR. Using the 597 semi-auto action, which is their direct competition to the Ruger, though perhaps a tad more sophisticated. It offers an automatic, last round bolt hold open and free fall magazine. Inside the bolt runs on twin guide rods, which we are told improves reliability - along with the coated receiver. The 597 has been around for some time and offers the usual models – standard/synthetic, laminate, heavy barrel and even an Action Shooting rifle with shark-type profile stock. 
In terms of accuracy potential the major difference on the VTR is the heavy, 16” tube, which sits in a round, free-float forend; guns for the British market come threaded 1/2x20” UNF (with thread protector). Remington also shows a 4-Way version with Picatinny rails option. Moving back the action appears to use a similar drop-in/bolt-on exoskeleton concept to the Nordic Arms, though is not so heavy. Furniture consists of an M16 A2 pistol grip (single finger groove) with an A2 (fixed butt) completing the package. A collapsible (CAR15-type) stock is also available.
Typically there are no iron sights, though the receiver shows a high, 1” Weaver type rail. QD sling studs are fitted front to rear. Controls are simple with a cross bolt safety at the rear of the trigger guard – right to left – FIRE and reverse for SAFE. Just in front is the mag catch, which pulls backwards to dump the clip. There is an automatic hold open on an empty mag, but you can set is manually by pushing up the lock inside the well with your finger. The cocking handle reciprocates with the action and shows a decent size and shape.
The 597 comes with the standard 10-shot (quoted) flush-fit magazine as does the whole family, however Remington also offers a 30-round clip. One of these was supplied by the importers, which then puts the VTR on par with the tricked up 10/22s as an alternative for Action-type shooting.
