Stevens Model 425 Lever Action

[jethunter]

I recently acquired a Stevens model 425 lever gun, chambered in 35 remington. I didn't know such a thing existed until I stumbled across this one. It's a sweet little rifle with side ejection and loading ports. It looks a bit like the marlin 336.

I read a wiki article and googled some old levergun forum chats, and learned Stevens made these from 1911 to 1917, before Savage bought the company.

Looking for knowledge, comments, loading advice, user experience, etc. from other 425 users or interested persons.

Assuming it's not the one you have purchased, the Gun Dealer also has one listed on their website. Very uncommon item from what I gather, congrats.

I didn't know about that one at The Gun Dealer, thanks. Appears to be a different rifle. I got mine from a private sale on the EE.
