Hi I got a j.c. higgins 30.06 rifle and was wandering who made it and where to get scope and mounts for it. It is a model 50 and also 583.9.Thanks for any informationon this it was my grandpa's then my dads then he gave it to me.

Closest I can come using Numrich GunParts cross reference is a Sears model 583.91 which is a Harrington & Richardson model #121.
Anyone else have a better source for cross reference?

A J.C. Higgins Model 50 is on an FN Mauser action and takes the scope mounts listed for that action. Weaver Nos. 45 and 46, etc.
The barrel was made by High Standard, the stock by Bishop or Fajen.
A nicer gun than most folks expect to come out of Sears.
