I have several J.C. Higgins Model 50s in .270 and .30-06. It seems the locals do not want them or perhaps they do not know what they are. That is OK with me. I snap up every one I find in excellent condition at a reasonable price. The only problem with the Model 50 is the two-piece trigger arrangement. I replaced all the triggers with Timneys.
The latest FN commercial Mauser is the real deal with the original trigger and even has lock screws for the guard screws. It now has a refinished stock and wears a 3-9X Bushnell Trophy scope. All the best... Gil

Gil. What I do is if the Higgins has a decent trigger, I replace the rather soft pin they use on the trigger with a piece of hardened drill rod. The ones with lousy triggers get the Timney's.
 Yeah, I understand how lots of locals think because it was a Sears gun they El Cheapo made. If you look in early Gun Digests at the prices for them, they cost more that the vaunted Pre-64 Winchester M70 in their day.  Better gun too in my not very huble opinion. Glad to see there's at least one other that appreciates Sears little sleepers.   Paul B.
