J. Stevens ~ 425 ~ .25 REM

Description:
The Model 425 was manufactured from 1911 to 1917, a couple of years before Stevens fell under the Savage umbrella. The number of rifles produced, according to S.P. Fjestad's Blue Book of Gun Values, was 26,000—a figure that is vigorously disputed by other sources that claim the number is far too high. Some estimates on actual production numbers are around 5,000 or even far fewer, which would account for the 425's rarity and subsequent value. The rifle features a 22-inch barrel, a two-thirds-length magazine tube and side ejection. One factor that indicates the 425 may have been a bit ahead of the curve regarding the competition is the fact that the top of the receiver was drilled and tapped for optics. However, it might be a bit of a chore to come up with the proper mounts these days. Due to its rarity, value and limited ammo options, the Stevens 425 is going to appeal to a hardcore collector/lever gun "completist" rather than a serious shooter. This example is still in good shape and ready to be added to your collection. .25 Remington
