Walked into my LGS a little while ago. Saw a beat up looking SA laying in the corner of the display case. JC Higgins Ranger on the barrel.

Looked it up:made by High Standard. It’s a 9 shot, SA/DA, with a swing out cylinder. Feels good in the hand. Barrel looked fine. Couldn’t resist the $249.95 price.

Looks like a good find, Congrats

I fall firmly in the “can’t have enough 22’s” camp so…..awesome grab!

It's pretty.
I like the provence!

.22 purchases, as explained by Bill Watterson:

Thanks.

Gonna try it out later today.

There is also a Remington 510 Targetmaster for $199. Good wood. Expected metal finish which has been varnished for $199. I’ve got enough old .22 rifles right now.

Well, that’s certainly the dumbest thing I’ve read all day!

Don’t hold back, CPJ! Tell me how you really feel!!

I know.

But I have bought 3-4 in the last couple of years to “rehab”. Haven’t started on them.

The proper amount of old .22 rifles is the number you currently have, plus one.

Wrong.

Plus 2.

It’s a good shooter. Can ring 6” & 8” gongs all day long. Even DA. I really like the way it fits in my hand.

Wrong.

The proper number of .22's to own is correctly defined as "obscene".

I believe the technical term is N+1.

Congratulations on the acquisition
I have a similar gun.
A high standard double nine I think mine was called.
The DA on mine sucks

First time I've seen a Sears version

Yeah. DA ain’t fun.

It's kind of funny looking back at that time frame.
Lots of " cowboy" guns were made.

Some mainly for kids
One of the oddest ones was a savage single shot

That’s awesome!!! I love OOOOOLD westerns and it’s funny to see those used as movie guns in quite a few of the lower budget ones

If you feel a little enterprising, about an hour with some fine sandpaper and a can of Alumahyde will make it look like new. IIRC they fit in Ruger Single-Six holsters.

Cool find!

I’ve got one of those too!!

Thanks!
Haven’t tried holsters yet. Haven’t had time this weekend to think about any refinishing. Something to think about doing once I retire next year(fingers crossed!!!)

Thanks Zee!!
