I know someone that has one, he says its very accurate and a nice gun but the extra magazines were a bit of a fag for him to get hold of. Saying that he is looking at selling it as he doesn't use it for bunny bashing anymore, he sticks to his CZ and Winchester super X.

Dealer pricing for these S/H is from £195 with one mag, check out gunstar.

I used to have a 520, should never have sold it!
Super reliable and pretty accurate.

I had one, it was dreadful. Jammed and had fire / extract issues too. Avoid.

I've got one, if you feed it the right ammo it never jams and is much more accurate then I am. Quite a long barrel, and all very well made. I get some German stuff from the Lord Roberts Centre at Bisley, it seems to like that, can find the name of the company out. Only likes standard velocity stuff though.

Don't lose the magazines, easy enough to find on the internet, but damned expensive at fifty quid.

I like mine, it was something of a spur of the moment purchase when a chap at my clays club decided not to renew his FAC, and needed to sell it. But I've been very pleased with it so far.

I'd still take a CZ in preference. The 511 I had shot well apart from the trigger. Plenty a fox did not enjoy being on the receiving end of silent death mind you. Very effective around farms as foxy's mate doesn't know you've just shot the other one, so they're not spooked - mopped up plenty in one night with my trusty CZ before stupidly selling it in favour of a bolt action, but with a better trigger. SIlly decision. But I made quite a few <sigh/>

I have the 520 and it very nice to shoot , With regards to magazines some Marlin and Mossberg's will fit with a little bit of adjustment with a swiss file.

thanks all for the replies i`ve also been offered a cz511 which is in a good condition but as you have said and i have read the trigger is a bit of a plugger is there a mod for this? could it be sorted as i prefer the look of the cz
