Many people don't know JC Higgins never made a gun, all were contract. Most were savage or marlin but a few were better names. The model 50 and 51 were on German Mauser actions and this little sweetheart they only sold 2 years was a Sako, vintage 54-56. Probably the nicest JC model I know of. A pretty good deal at 750 since most similar Sako models go $1200-$2000. I already have over 200 rounds for it.
