congrats indeed .... we have 3 10/22's (2 since the late '80's) .... all are solid performers .... if I was in the market for a semi automatic 22LR, a 10/22 is the only one I'd consider

The clear one is probably made from acrylic - clear, strong, but a bit on the brittle side. Black is more than likely made from ABS which is stronger when it comes to physical impact. It will also have a little bit of a heavier 'feel'.

Nice rifle for your wife.
As for the Remmie 597M, I too had probs for several years until I got a Volquartsen extractor installed into it. Along with the original black plastic magazines which work better then the metal ones, I now have a great little rifle. Too bad Remington couldn't fix those problems before they discontinued it.
