A lot nicer than i'd expected - ProMag Remington Model 597 Tactical Folding Stock

My experience with ProMag prior to this was limited to their notso-hotso magazines. This stock was very well designed and turns out to be MUCH better than I expected; I'm really happy with it.

Install was a piece of cake. The spare rail sections up front were handy for a light. The 597 is accurate from this stock. Stock folds quickly and easily and LOP is pretty good for an average-sized man. Rubber on buttplate isn't necessary on a .22, but it's a nice touch. Your sling weaves right into the slots. The stock looks good and the rifle looks good in it - I wish it had been made this way in the first place. The ability to store stuff inside the pistol grip's trapdoor is pretty nice, too.

Downsides? As others have mentioned, the folding stock REALLY wedges closed and is a little bit of a bear to open. A little filing and waxing helps, but it looks like I still need to do more. The stock also wasn't inexpensive - but it was reasonable and it's a high-quality item as compared to similar stocks I've had in the past. Some sort of ability to store a spare magazine in the stock would have been a treat.

I'm torn - I think I'd give everything about this five stars except for the too-tight-when-folded stock and the price. Overall, it's just a heck of a nice stock - again, I wish it had been on the gun when I bought it back in the mid-Nineties.
