A nice Remington Model 725

Here's the stock 280, and the custom finished one with the magnum bolt face. - dan

Very nice Dan. You have a tough decision on that Mag bolt face custom.

Yes. It's not like I don't have rifles in most cartridges, but that's a beauty stock and I'd like something special. - dan

Let me know how that metal butt plate feels with a 358 NM chambered. If you decide to go big.

Lets do some tradin' so I can get that magnum and stock. That way you won't face the "what to do with it" dilemma.

I hear ya there. I'm trying to have less, not more and if any do come here, they will be nicer than the usual 700 LEGO custom gun.

Sorries to the OP for the side track.

I have 6.5, 7mm, 338 and 416 barrels on hand. So probably something in one of those bore sizes. - dan

6.5 Rem Mag it!

Until seeing this thread, I wasn't even aware of the existence of a Remington model 725. I gather it was only in production for about five years. Any details as to why??

It was the ultimate 721/722 action. Shortly thereafter the 700 came out and replaced all of these. Now go google the Rem 720. - dan

Thanks, will do. More as the way things turned out over the years rather than because of any specific reason but it wasn't fairly recently that I acquired a Remington. My first and it is a custom 700 chambered in 375 Chatfield Taylor that I picked up from a gentleman on site.

I’ll put my vote in for the 7mm mashburn super

Maybe. I have a STW that is the ballistic twin, but it doesn't have the panache of the Mashburn. - dan
