I hate to be ambiguous, however it depends on which model you have, and what the condition is. If its an auto 5, semi-automatic shotgun, 12 gauge, that doesn't have special engraving, it can be worth 400.00 to 500.00 US. Not knowing which model, features, graded condition (70-100%) can change the price drastically. Two places to help you learn more about your gun (ie: manufacure date, worth, capability) are your local gunsmith, and book on gun values such as Gun List. The book can be found at your local gun dealer, and/or second-hand store that deals in firearms. -Rick

The Stevens Model 520 was built on a Browning patent and so marked. Stevens also built the gun for Sears before World War II under the 'Ranger' tradename, so if you have a slide-action shotgun marked 'Ranger' and 'Browning Patent' then that is what you have.
