And yet a good friend of mine years ago had one of the first 597's in 17hmr. we called it the hand of god. It was a cracking rifle. sadly it suffered from the same fate a lot did and blew out the extractor (I think). I cant remember if he got it fixed or replaced with a 22 magnum which I think was the options from the gunshop.
