DF The. J C Higgins (model50???) come thru our shop for general maintenance all the time. Occasionally a customer will part with one. I had forgotten about the Colt Rifles. Some of the Colts used Sako actions too, didn't they??? Last edited by kaywoodie; 06/13/14. Founder Ancient Order of the 1895 Winchester "Come, shall we go and kill us venison?

Co-worker and I rechambered it on a slow day! I've killed elk, deer, and hawgs with it since then. Founder Ancient Order of the 1895 Winchester "Come, shall we go and kill us venison?

The model 1000 comes with a decent French walnut stock pretty well suited for a scope and the FN left side safety. I have one in 30-06 that shoots accurately and is very reliable. In a perfect world they'd be about 1/2 lb lighter but a decent quality synthetic fixes that problem quickly if it is a concern.

I'll send you a PM right after I nail one of those... DF
