bought a really nice looking commercial FN marked model 98 mauser in 3006. The rifle is marked JC Higgins and so is the mounted scope which looks to be a Weaver 4 power. The quality of this rifle is superb with a hand checkered walnut stock and vrey smooth action. I got this for $250.
The older man who I bought this from said his dad had bought this in the mid 1950's from JC Higgins. I guess back then anyone sold rifles.
Has anyone ever seen one of these before? I've attached a picture of it. I'm of the opinion the FN 98 action is worth more than I payed for the whole rifle, what do you guys think?
