    Additions....

    The most noticable change to my 597 was the Volquartsen trigger. Wow what a difference. I spent an afternoon with a dremel polishing as many parts as i could and it made a huge difference. I also added a weaver style scope base and used some bedding compound under it too. 597 is a great shooter...Ive had nothing but good luck with mine even with high cap mags.
