Produced in relatively limited numbers, the Model 725 marked Remington's step between earlier post-war designs and what would become the Model 700. This BDL variant from July 1960 carries the OG barrel date code and inspector markings at the barrel shank, offering clear, period-correct identifiers for the model and era.
The rifle is chambered in .270 Win with a 22 in sporter barrel and open sights: a ramped front bead and an adjustable rear leaf with elevator. Its action uses a two-lug rotating bolt and an internal box magazine with a hinged floorplate, paired with a three-position wing safety.
The walnut stock showcases Remington's sporting style of the time with a Monte Carlo comb, cheekpiece, and cut checkering. Details include an inletted Remington grip-cap medallion, a checkered aluminum Remington-marked buttplate, and QD sling swivel bases. Detachable swivels are installed.
The receiver is drilled and tapped for scope bases, with filler screws installed. The blued metalwork, OG barrel date code, and U.S. manufacture round out a configuration that reflects the original 725 specification and period features.
