I said I would update when Remington sent me the Marlin Trade in. I sent the Remington (17HMR) 597 in May 2 2010, I received my Trade in Marlin XT-17VSFL Feb 14-2012.
Basically it took them 9 and 1/2 months to send me the replacement gun that they said would be shipped "soon".
The New Marlin is very pretty and does shoot very accurate. The only issue I have seen so far with it is that the Magazine does not like to come out and requires some force to remove.
If you are expecting a Marlin trade in dont hold your breath, they are extremely slow!
For information on the recall look at the sticky at the top of this board.
