The ProMag PM278 transforms the Remington 597 from a traditional rifle into a compact tactical platform. This folding stock system reduces overall length for transport and storage while maintaining the rifle's accuracy and reliability when deployed.
What Makes This Different
Unlike fixed stocks that limit portability, the PM278 features a side-folding mechanism that cuts transport length nearly in half. The integrated pistol grip provides superior control compared to traditional rifle stocks, while the synthetic construction resists weather and impact damage that can affect wood stocks. The folding hinge locks securely in both open and closed positions.

The PM278 maintains the Remington 597's inherent accuracy while adding tactical versatility. The folding mechanism operates smoothly under field conditions, allowing quick deployment from backpacks or vehicle storage. Law enforcement and security professionals appreciate the reduced profile for confined spaces, while hunters value the compact transport for ATV and hiking access to remote locations.
