I believe it was made by Colt Firearms and sold through Sears. I have one and it is a very straight shooter for a .22, but very hard to clean. I would like to find a manual on it.
The Western Field model 880 was made by Colt. It was the Colt Colteer semi-automatic .22 LR rifle.
To the best of my knowledge, the last made was 6 months after the end of WW2

Not certain, but I THINK your rifle may be a Colt Colteer semi automatic, made for Montgomery Wards under their Western Field label. Some of the cross reference data is spotty. Google images for Colteer, and see if it is similar to your rifle.
i have recently obtained this gun, it was my Great Grandfather's. i went to a gun store and the lady told me that this gun was made during WWII and it was discontinued 6 months after WWII. thats about all i know, hope it helps
The Western Field 808's were a Savage Mod 87. Check gunpartscorp.com
Savage/Stevens, Marlin and Mossberg all made guns under the Western Auto Brand name. Colt even made a revolver under Western Auto, the model 880A-ECH. Since you specified hi power bolt action rifle, without more information I would guess the Savage model 340 or possibly the Savage 110. I am also fairly certain that there was a Mossberg center fire bolt action rifle made branded under Western Auto. Plus there are others. If you have the model number off of the barrel of your rifle it will help identify exactly which rifle you have.
Your western field MO59 was actually made for Montgomery Wards(Western Field) by the Stevens firearm Company.The Stevens model 87 and your firearm are one and the same.the Stevens model 87 semi-auto .22cal rifle was made from the year 1937 and discontinued in the early 1980,s.
