Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Mausers and Military Rifles JC Higgins Model 50

I have a JC Higgins Model 50 30-06 that I put in a Boyds laminate. Dang nice looking gun. The previous owner was a doctor who apparently spent some time with it, as its had the metal refinished in a cerakote or duracote or something, and the trigger, while still the factory 2 piece affair, is pretty darn good for a factory trigger.

I keep going back and forth as to if I should bed the thing, and free float it and use it, or do as I have been and continue to consolidate down to just a 2-3 rifles I am going to use all the time. This is one I cannot make up my mind on. It could be "that one" 30-06, or maybe not, as I have an Ithica/Tikka LSA-65 30-06 as well.

Hard to figure what to do with this Belgian Mauser.
