JC Higgins model 50 and 51 have been the supplier of quality actions to the ultra high end customs for years. Gunsmiths around here would typically rob the action and rebuild the M50/51 with a M98 military action. Model 51's are great because they had cheekpiece stocks along with the checkering. The versions with the trigger mounted in the guard do need changed out. Some if not all M51's had the very good SAKO #4 trigger in them.
