JC Higgins sears (marlin model 80) 22lr & scopes

Recommended Posts

I just acquired two JC Higgins Sears (Marlin model 80) 22lr bolt guns with scopes. I have a couple of questions about the scopes and the mounts they are in.

 

The first scope is a Weaver cub 4x, with a N2 mount.

The second scope is a JC Higgins 4x in Weaver mount.

Are the scopes in the correct mounts or were they switched at one time. Anyone have any info on either of these scopes?

Since those guns were not mine, there is no way I can tell you if they were ever switched, however the scops and the mouts are from the same time period. I have 1950's single shot bolt action 22lr with the same mount and the scope has similar markings. It was my grandfathers gun so I know the mount and scope are the orig that he put on. You should be able to research all the information you are looking for onlie. Remigton has a site where everything is listed by SN to date, I was also able to find the same info with the scope markings by looking. My scope is shot, very foggy but I will leave it on until it's time to teach JR to shoot.

 

The JC higgins is most likely a weaver, I do not believe that they actually made optics just rebranded kind of

like sears did with the Glendfiels/marlin products. I would say that the scope and mount are origional. These

are great rifles and will last 10 life times, they just dont offer much in retail value.

      The same kit fits both the 9 and 40 frames so I can take it whichever you got it for.

      Sold my GSG-5 22LR with fake suppressor. $300. These are a blast to shoot. Have two mags that have been converted to 10 rounds. Don't shoot it anymore and want to clear up some space on the safe. I live in Bergen county and will meet you in a dealer who you choose. You pay transfer so choose a cheap transfer dealer.

      Need help deciding here:
      I'm torn between Ruger mark IV and SW22. Want to buy a universal gun for Bullseye and Steel Challenge, so it has to be bull barrel or similar.
      I like stainless steel Ruger and million aftermarket parts available but I don't like grip angle (22/45 fits better but it's plastic) and the fact that barrel is the firearm. So every time I would think of a new barrel it will have to be a new set permits....
      On the contrary SW22 has less aftermarket support and somewhat strange grip  - the angle is fine though. Plus its cheaper.
      Your opinions? pls?
      thanks in advance.
      P.S. Buck Mark is out - don't even bring it up :). I own Buck Mark, i like the way it shoots but the takedown process can be painful. last time I wanted to clean it i stripped the hex screw and had to go to a gunsmith . Also, little aftermarket options and harder to find parts.

      Finally had the chance to spend a good amount of time with the gun.  At this price point, there is no reason not to get one!

    • In 50 years of living in NJ I've never experienced any attempt to inspect the interior of the home, and only one definite inspection of the exterior for an announced reassessment of all properties and that was a drive by. About 9 years of that was living in an apartment, but still, uncommon. Every place I lived had either a finished attic, basement, or both. But they were also included in the habitable square footage on the taxes when we got there. 
    • 27.00 and change in tolls to drive down the shore from Rutherford,  47.00 in tolls to go out to Long island to visit dying relatives. Now I read they are going to raise the fees in the DMV. Murphy lied just to get elected when he said that seniors will get a significant tax break with his StayNJ" program to stop us from leaving.   Keep voting for democrats...this is what you get.  Tax and spend is all they know.  Never cut anything.  This state sucks.
    • I get the added benefit that since I have a TSP rather than a true 401(k) they tax my retirement too. Yaaaay!
