I just picked a barely used 597 from Blackjack today. I didn't take any pics because it looks exactly like the scope only version on the Remington site. Synthetic stock sort of grey with a cheap 3x9 scope. The scope will end up going I think. It really is cheap. I have a few in my gun room not in use so I might pick one of them or Academy has a nice sale going on.
The price during his April sale was finally down to what I thought a used gun like this would go for. It came with one factory 10 round mag but I just ordered 3 ten round Keepshooting.com mags which the YouTube reviews showed as pretty good. Buying 3 at a time got the price down to $13 each with $5 shipping.
It'll be a while before it gets to the range as my wife has some minor surgery coming up that will require me to be house bound for 2 or 3 weeks for her initial recovery.
If you've have experience with the 30 round mags let me know. I'm not looking to get any right now. I have plenty for my Ruger 10/22 that work just fine. But you never know when opportunity knocks as they say.
Thanks
