A little over a month ago my father passed, he was a life long gun enthusiast and had over 500 rifles( most of his life he kept an FFL) but I was given approx. 7-8 Stevens 425 high power rifles and 5 Savage model 99's.
the 425 High power serials I have here at the office are
3654 .35 REM
5144 30-30 REM
2563 30-30 REM

Sorry for your loss. Difficult time. My father passed in 1999 and I still think of him often.

Interesting lever guns those 425's. Wouldn't mind finding one myself sometime, just to roll around and look at.

"...could I ask help on where to start about getting info on these and possibly the savages? thank you to anyone that can help."

Welcome to the site and thanks for the added data. The person that stated this post has not been back since Dec., 2014. Though the 425 is not a Savage the posting was found of interest by many members so it was made a Sticky and additional data slowly continues to come in.

The original question of how many were made seems to have been answered at around 5000 units. I don't remember seeing any listed with less than a four digit serial so probably stated at 1000 and stopped before 6000 (not positive of that as I did not review every page). What is known has probably been stated in the earlier pages.

You can post your Savage questions below as a new posting and we will answer whatever you would like to know.

I took a little road trip yesterday with my wife and we had the opportunity to see a Stevens 425 deluxe Aka Steven's 430.

I was given the OK to take a few pictures and post them here. The gun was pristine

That is a nice looking gun,but i also think its a reworked 425,the higher grades had the number changed with each grade.The barrel should say 430 on it. my fancy checkered and line engraved rifle is stamped 435, i also dont think the checkering style is correct for a 430. Again a beautiful rifle just not stevens correct. Don

Good thing the owner wasn't selling, sounds like he would have had a buyer.

Beautiful rifle no matter what.

Happy to do it. Are any of the folks keeping tabs on ser# ? there was one i bid on a while back on GB sold for 300.00 just a parts gun 25 rem. ser# 2431. I collect and repair old Winchesters for the most part, and my girl friend gives me grief from time to time. So when i got the 25 rem. i explained its not a Winchester, that went well. The latest one in 35 rem i told her its your new elk rifle, hope it don't kick her to hard this weekend. All kidding aside hope the 35 rem shoots well, plan on keeping both great calibers and just cool old lever guns.

I've got a 25 and a 35 as well, the 35's don't kick that hard at all. A 99F in 300 Sav kicks harder.

Thanks for the reply mad dog. love the 35 very accurate and dialed in now with 200 grain hornady lever evolution. I can see a possibility of her putting down a elk with it, hits hard and recoil she can handle. The gun is a keeper. In addition on Saturday i won an auction for a 425 in 30 rem. its supposed to be parts gun, but is complete gun??? I wonder. So if any one is looking for parts i only need a couple for my 25 rem. just let me know if your looking. The ser# on the 30 is 4140 if any one is still keeping track, seems to me that none below 1000 and none above 5000 and change would suggest they are rare finds. In my opinion very fine and accurate rifles

The 30 rem. ser# 4140 is very much a clean but yet a parts gun, as the piece of so called gunsmith got to it first. All but receiver, lever and wood are in great shape. If anyone needs parts let me know. It will be up for parts on GB this fall

Saw one in 30-30 Remington at gun show today, but wasn’t able to see serial number. At $1100 and rather gray I didn’t bring it home.

Was it stamped 30-30 Remington?
