Here is my 520 production was stopped in about 1984 and then 525 replaced the 520 model and the 525 was banned under the Clinton Assault Weapon Ban because of removable two piece stock and removable box magazine.

Here is my new unfired 520 I found last week second up from bottom. If I don't find a spare magazine it may become trading material or sold. Shown is Browning T-bolt Target/Varmint, Marlin 981T, Anschutz 520, and Savage 23A Sporter made by Anschutz.



Interesting facts about the Savage is it has a hammber forged heavy barrel that really a little on heavy side for hunting in the step Ozark hills of Missouri as is the T-bolt. Below is the real go to the woods gun, Mossberg 142A my father bought for me new in summmer of 1952 for my birthday. It has an 18" heavy barrel (no extra barrel to slow down bullet) and OAL of 37" and is light and short making it easy to carry in heavy woods and brush in those Ozark hills.
