Have info to share with a member, but new to this format, my search reveals; Sears also sold a Mauser M-98 rifle chambered for 30/06 that “WAS NOT” the J C Higgins M-50 or 51. I bought one in 1966 and still have it. This rifle is not surplus in any way. Unlike the M-50 & 51 which has a commercial Mauser action, my M-98 is a military type action with the stripper clip loading guide and just 2 stamped marks, “Cal30-06” on barrel next to action & “####” on left side of receiver. No names or marks anywhere or on any part. I found this rifle in 1966 Sears gun catalog on Goggle. Price was$97.50 with scope. I bought mine from Sears Pasadena Tx store for $77.00 without scope. Great rifle, served me on deer hunts for 20 yrs. along with 25 other rifles and is still in my safe, it will be in my estate.
