Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Savage Collectors Stevens 425 High Power

Yes, I think it had the entire word Remington. It definitely had the 30-30.

So I am no expert in 425 Savages, but was this a common thing? As we all know there was a 30-30 Win (rimmed) and a 30 Remington (rimless).

Some very early model 8 Remingtons were stamped 30-30 Rem and 25-35 Rem and soon after changed to 30 Rem and 25 Rem to avoid confusion with the rimmed Winchester calibers. The early Remingtons stamped 30-30 Rem and 25-35 Rem bring a premium price. (kind of like the "30 Sav" stamp in our world"

Is this also the case with 425's?

Don't know.....

Mine are marked 35 Rem and 25 Rem.

All 30 caliber 425's are stamped 30-30 Remington, I have 2 that way and have never seen any 30's stamped any different. The introduction date of the rifle was about the same year Remington changed the name but they must not of felt it necessary to make a new stamp for such a low production gun. One variation in the stamp is the addition of 'SOFT POINT' after the caliber, found with all 4 of the chamberings,some have it & some don't. It was not considered a good idea to use pointy bullets in a tube fed centerfire.

Anyone still collecting info on these? My wife recently inherited a 425 in 32 Rem but the barrel was originally a 30-30 Rem that is crossed out. Serial # 5190

I check in from time to time, sounds like it may have been re bored. I think some one is still keeping ser. numbers. Thanks for adding your #. What condition is the bore in? I have 3 a 25 rem. a 35 rem. and a 30 30 rem parts gun the barrel is in great shape all parts are good except lever and but stock. Let me know if any body out there needs parts

Hello Gentlemen and Ladies, I have a Stevens 425 in .35 Remington with the serial number 3543. It has a shotgun style butt stock and was wondering if this is original? I can't seem to find anything saying yes or no on this. Thank you. By the way, I'm up in the Northern Prairies in Western Canada.

No it's not original.

How do I know? Because thats one of my old guns, I'm guessing you bought it off a guy named Wayne.

2109 in .25 remington. Long shot on an old post, anyone have a hammer for one of these? I'm in Winnipeg, Manitoba btw

Checked my 425 parts, no hammer, did you try Western Gun Parts?

Why is this thread not stickied anymore?

I sent western gun parts an email, thanks for the recommendation mad dog

no luck at western gun parts, tried numrich as well. Nada

I was unfamiliar with the 425s, what an awesome model to covet. I was content with one "Favorite" and now I've been introduced to more divorce fodder. Damn you lever gun sluts!

I recently inherited a 425 in 35 Remington with serial number below 1030. It’s in about 75% condition. I can post pictures if this thread is still alive and someone is interested. Few free to message.

Always interested in seeing pictures, post them.

The Stevens 425 is a nice looking lever gun and one, like the 99, that may have made the easy transition into the world of scopes with its solid top and disappearing bolt mechanism, given Stevens worked out the bugs and that they were able to buck the then growing interest in bolt guns. I have only seen one Stevens 425 in my "gun wanderings", and that one was years at gun show here in Sacramento. I don't think we see anywhere near the range of antique firearms showing up at gun shops and show out west as you guys do back east.
