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.

      Anyone has Tkka T1x? How do you like it? Strongly considering it for my next purchase.

      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!

    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
