Edit: Apparently you can get it with iron sights now. They also have a variety of grades now.

The 597 (or it maybe a similar, older model) has been my "truck" gun for 15 years. I bought it a Wal Mart to shoot the hordes of ground hogs on the farm when we moved here.
Lots of fun, accurate enough and I never sweated the inevitable scuffing it took. I used to carry it between the front end loader hydraulic lines just in front of the controller. Tractor noise seems to mesmerize the little bastards, to the point where they would literally stop and stare: stop, load, aim, shoot. Unload, holster in the lines, continue bush-hogging
Hangs in my tool room.
All of the guns mentioned in this thread would be a first gun any young man would covet.
