Remington Model 25 in 25-20
Posted: Mon Feb 13, 2017 9:22 am
I know I haven't been really active here in a while. Apologies to all the fine folks here.
I picked up a sweet little Model 25 pump rifle in 25-20 over the holidays.
It's been a little project. It's in great functioning shape. It came to me drilled and tapped for some unknown scope mount. Well, I started to consider putting a little Micro reflex sight on it (and still may!) but after shooting a pretty decent 50 yard group, I can't resist scoping it for at least load development.
"But Larry, you've never made a scope base."
Can't say that now. Won't say it's great, and I'll still need to finish it, but it fits and is mounted. Had a Leupold 2-7x33 scope that should be just right.
"Load development? But Larry, you don't reload."
Well, at $1.50 per shot for factory stuff I bit the bullet and got set up. It will be too much of a fun gun to not shoot it. I know my kids will adore it with zero recoil and fairly light weight. Sooooo... get set up to reload and hey, the 7 year old boy is about ready to do this kind of thing (supervised of course). He's excited. Can't wait to shoot some of the reloads.
Check out the pics in the link and tell me what you think.
