You might consider going to the Remington web site at this link.
http://www.remington.com/product-families/firearms/centerfire-families/bolt-action-model-700.aspx
There is a "Products" tab on the far left. Clicking on it will activate a drop down menu. Click on firearms history link in the menu. You will be able to see all the Remington made bolt action rifles.0 -

It seems to me that you are reading the caliber and not the make. The 25-06 Remington is the actual caliber. Check on the receiver for a maker's name.0 -
Sounds like it could be an old Model 30, although I don't see a listing for that chambering. Are you sure the "Remington" isn't a reference to the chambering and not the manufacturer of the rifle itself.
The 30's, if I recall correctly, were based on what looks very much like an old Eddystone action. Introduced around 1927 and went out, again, IIRC, with the 721/722/725 lines which were selling at least in 1956 and all look very much like the current 700 line.
Pictures?????
Aha, kind of like peeing into the wind. It all comes back to me now.
Didn't Remington market a rifle a while back (maybe even 20 years or so)possibly model 798, that was basically a 98 Mauser action and likely chambered in 25/06????????
798, yes. Google and see if it looks like what you have.0 -
If the action is Remington, their logo and model number should be stamped on the L/S of the receiver. I think the Remington you're refering to are the models 798 and 799 made by Zastava in Serbia for Remington. If you Google the models a nice article by Chuck Hawes comes up 0 -
If we had a couple of close clear pictures we could quit guessing. 0 -
The 798 was a recent, and short lived, attempt by Remington to bring in the old Mark X line from Yugoslavia. If the rifle in question is over 20 years old, it could not be a 798.
However, when the 25-06 was introduced as a commercial cartridge, Remington was the company that brought it out in 1969. Therefore, some manufacturors would have marked "Remington 25-06" on the barrels or receivers to designate the newly introduced cartridge.
Since the rifle in question is around 20 years old, more than likely, the "mauser" action could be a Mark X.0 -
I also believe you are reading the cartridge desigination "25-06 Remington", rather than the rifle make(r) and model. The 798 was only as recent as 10 years ago, and before that, there was the 700 from 1962, and it did not have the Mauser claw type extractor. If it is a famous maker, it is either a Winchester, wich is unlikely from the time frame, or a Ruger M-77, or M-77 MK-II.
Pictures would certainly tell the tale.

It appears to be a sporterized, Model 1903, U.S. Army rifle, to me.
Remington did made this type of rifle, during World War II.
EDIT #1, Photo off the net, of Remington Model 19O3, U.S. Army rifle. Showing the receiver markings.

Close-ups would be better but that sure looks like a Springfield bolt knob to me. My best guess is, Springfield action, rebarreled to 25/06 with Butler composite stock. In other words, Not a Remington. Still, it should have a bunch of identifying letters and numbers on various parts of the action.
Rufe hit the nail on the head. That explains the look of the bolt and the "REmington" label. In all likelihood you're o.k., but assuming the above is correct you'll want to check the serial number against a list of "brittle range" actions. Don't recall if Remington had any of those or not. Good idea to have a qualified 'smith check headspace as well.
Could be a good shooter.0 -

It can STILL be a Remington. Remington made many of the 03's, and I have seen a minty one, so marked. Just that it is not a Remington model, it is a Springfield...but it was Made by Remington.
