How many have some of the house brand firearms??

Coast to Coast, Western Field, Sears, etc.

Step dad had a little 20 gauge pump, Coast to Coast gun, made by Savage.

Dipschitt step brother had a Western Field 12 gauge 30" full choke turkey murdering SOB. If I remember correctly it was basically a Mossburg 500.

I once had a little 22 auto that had little vents cut in the non port side of the receiver, cannot remember the off brand of it.

What is in your arsenal??

Poly Choke?

Forgot about J.C. Higgins.

Nope - fixed full. IIRC the M60 had the poly choke.

It was short stocked so even as a 10 year old, by shot 3 my thumb had come back enough times and hit my nose to make it bleed. Every Thursday night trap league at Packer City Snowmobile Club. I eventually quit it and used a Rem 31 instead. Was longer, harder to swing as a kid but I didn't bleed....

Dad and uncle both have Coast to Coast 22s. Dad's is a 288N I think - tube mag and pretty sure has the cuts in the receiver. Uncles might be a Marlin semi - had a detachable magazine.

My understanding is that the JC Higgins Model 50 is a really good rifle. I'd grab one in a minute if I found a real deal on one.

I have a Western Field semi auto 22 which was the Montgomery Ward version of the the Savage Model 6/Steven's 87. The so-called gill gun or click clack gun. I think that's the gun a couple of y'all have described.

Back in the mid 70's I was gifted a JC Higgins single shot 22. Still have it and have no idea how many thousands of rounds have been sent down the tube.
still pretty darn accurate and has accounted for untold amount of rabbits and squirrels over the years.

For some reason I get a big smile every time I shoot this little rifle!

FN action with a chrome lined barrel by HighStandard.

Higgins 51-L were Husqvarna actions. Dad has a .308 that I really like too.
