Very satisfied with fit and finish of the barrel. Installation instructions were clear and easy to follow. So far I’ve fired CCI Maxi Mag 40g and Hornady V-MAX 30g ammo with no feed or firing issues. I did install a Volquartsen Remington 597 Target Hammer & Exact Edge Extractor at the same time as the barrel. At 100 yards from a bench rest 5 rounds of the CCI ammo had a maximum spread of 3 inches with 2 rounds 3/8 inch apart. Five rounds of the Hornady ammo had a maximum spread of 1 5/8 inches with 4 rounds less than 3/4 inch apart which were fully covered by a US quarter.
My 597 was originally a .17 HMR so I didn’t need to change anything else in rifle to convert it to 22 WRM.

A little spendy to be putting on an inexpensive 22LR, but for me it was worth it. For my fellow enjoyers of the Rem 597, you already know how few mods are available for this rifle. If you’re reading this and it’s in-stock, buy it, because it won’t stay that way for long. Shoots lights out.
My only gripe is that the 1/2×28 threads needed to be bushed out for my Warlock II suppressor to screw on it correctly. Not removing a star for that because how could they know what can I was using?
