As an aside, I think the 725 is the handsomest center fire rifle Remington ever built. The checkering on the stock is better than many custom jobs and there is a fair amount of figure in the stock on my rifle.


Same here. Love my 725 280 Rem. Mine does have a pad but otherwise it’s very nice.

Nice looking 280. I had one ( on loan ) that I didn’t keep.
It Didn’t have as nice a wood , as yours appears to have.

It was accurate enough, but I wanted one that I could rechamber to an RCBS or Ackley Improved,
And for that purpose I wanted a 24” or longer barrel. Kicking myself now of course, 725 in 280 Rem , classic piece !

This was probably the beginning of my loonieism , Ha


I hear you there. There are a couple I wished I had back!

I've always admired the 725 from a far. Growing up with a m1917, the 725 has a similar looking safety and I love my m1917's safeties. They are very ergonomic and easy to use. Remington adopted that look from the old war horse. The 725 is a cool old rifle and eventually I'll run across just the right one..
