Remington Model 597 Rimfire Magnum Rifles By the Guns and Shooting Online Staff Model 597 LS HB. Illustration courtesy of Remington Arms Co. Inc. Remington offers the 597 in .22 LR as well as the more powerful .22 Magnum (.22 WMR) and .17 HMR calibers. Our sample Model 597 was chambered for the .17 HMR cartridge. This is the heavy barrel (0.825" OD), laminated stock varmint rifle version of the new Remington autoloader (LS = Laminated Stock, HB = Heavy Barrel in Remington speak). Other versions of the Model 597 come with standard contour barrels and synthetic stocks, at the option of the purchaser. This rifle has a couple of interesting and advanced design features that, properly executed, should make it a winner. And, as we found out at the range, it is an exceptionally accurate autoloader. But before we get into the 597's noteworthy features, here are the basic catalog specifications of the 597 LS HB.
