I also purchased a Remington 597 17 HMR & just found out about the “partial” buy back. Not happy.
I read that there was a repair that could be done, but if that is not feasible or possible then I want FULL price back in cash, not a coupon for another Remington. If I have to give this up, I want to purchase a Mossberg or Savage bolt action.
i Heard in the begining of this( when the issues with the .17 597) started to surface, remington was offering to re-chamber the owners rifle in .22mag. To me, that didn’t sound too bad. With doing that, the rifle would be useable again, instead of being a $400 closet or safe ornament. However, I have since read that this is NO longer being offered, and I have yet to find out if it had EVER been done. At this point i think I will take my ‘coupon” and get a bolt action remington and let this be the LAST remington I ever purchase. BTW, Mine blew up on me twice. The first time i was unaware of the issue and thought i had gotten a bad round of ammo, i purchased another clip and damned if it did it again. Very scary.
