Found a Rem.725 in 30.06 last week. First one I have ever seen. It is missing the rear sight as it appears to have been in the way of the scope. Also missing the front sight hood. Anyone know of a good place to buy these missing parts? Thanks.

    Brownells should have those parts, they are the same as the 700's...

    I believe they are the same as the EARLY 700's and the LATE 721's but not the same as any of the 700's in my collection. A 700 rear sight might fit but it is not the proper one.

    EDIT: Auction #225410897 has some pretty good pictures of a rear sight on a 725.

    Here's a link to Numrich - they have some 725 rear sight parts. The 725's rear sight looks alot like the 788. I know it's not the same but it does look quite a bit alike - don't know if between 788 parts and those available for the 725 @ Numrich that one can be crafted.

    Auction #225572505 is the correct rear sight for the 725. The front sight hood is even included. However, the front sight in that auction is attached with 2 screws. The front sight on my 725 is attached with just the one screw that's hidden by the sight bead. But you already have the front sight--just not the hood.

    Ambrose is correct about the rear sight. I have two 725's and the rear sight in the auction is correct for a 725,late 721/722 or a 700 but the front sight and front sight hood are for a 700 and won't work on a 725. The front sight blades on both of my 725's are pinned in and there is no screw in the ramp visible from the top. Both of mine are also missing the front sight hood and I have tried the hood of a 700 BDL(as shown in the auction mentioned above) and they won't work. The sight blade of the 725 stands up higher from the ramp than that of a 700 so the distance from the groove that the hood fits in to the top of the sight is more than that of a 700 and the hood won't go on. Hope this helps.
