Hmm.
First rifle I ever had - many, many years ago. You only fully strip it once - that spring takes some handling, ask me how I know!
That said I loved mine and killed zillions of rabbits and a fair few foxes with it back in the day when you were only allowed a 22 r/f for fox control - how times have changed! I think I already mentioned the tendency to snap the ejector with Ultra-high velocity rounds - Stingers? But I would have another one in a heartbeat, apart from already having the .22 Stutzen already and the .17 hmr…..

small enough for my 9 year old laddie to plink with supervised he loves it Fraid I'm going to have to disagree with the majority of you. I bought a brand new 525 from FA Anderson as my second RF many years ago and hated it with a passion. It was easily the most inaccurate rifle I've ever had and I couldn't wait to get shot of it! Maybe I was just unlucky - my first .22RF was (and still is) an Annie 1422D which I love and is in a different league altogether. My advice - avoid!

Had one for many years. Back then we were shooting around 200 rabbits a week every week . I had mine shortened by Calum Ferguson a back when he was just starting out in Langhom as they do have a long barrel . mine be used to love Eley scorpion hp ammo so I used to buy it 2000 at a time .
Mine was actually very accurate but you did have to keep it clean in the chamber area as wax build up could cause hangups.
The trick to stripping the 525 is to have the spring support guide or you may as well try pushing wet spaghetti up the stairs
the tool is easy to make though if you need one ?let me know .
I had a spare 10 shot mag that cost about £50
30 years ago when I was on about £100 a week !! They did work flawlessly .
Finally they were made in Italy by I think franchi ?

You can tie the springs and breech block assembly together with fine fishing nylon and slide it into the breech.
A quick blast with a plumbers torch will melt it away.
