I also like finding the older pedestrian bolt actions I grew up with, cleaning them up and making ‘em shoot.
That Higgins is cool…….
You probably know this, but they are a commercial FN action that say "Action-Made In Belgium" on the receiver, but the Sears JC Higgins markings on the barrels keep the prices down some. Good actions and the barrels are chrome lined made by High Standard.
I had a M50 before in 30-06 and a legit FN commercial mauser briefly in 300 WM. This one had the slickest action of the 3 which is what attracted me to it, along with a nicer stock than the other 2.
The trigger kinda sucks on it, but I've shot worse. Not bad creep at all, just a little heavy, but I can make do with it. Great old rifles.
