I am working on that as we speak. So far, its either going to be an "electronic" sight (no magnification) because of its location in front of the bolt...or its going to have to be a handgun scope with a LONG eye relief. I am also looking into the possibility of a raised dovetail mount that will attatch to the barrel (I have to get it drilled and tapped either way) and will raise the scope enough to clear the bold. Any of the above things i do to the 103.18 will cost me more than the rifle is worth but it has alot of sentimental value. will update later
The model 31 was sold with a JC Higgins scope in the early 1950's and an original scope is going to be pretty hard to find. Any scope for a grooved receiver should fit. The value is principally as a shooter as there does not appear to be significant collector interest. The rifle was manufactured by High Standard although they did not put that model into the High Standard line. The design is very similar to their Sport King rifle although the Sport King is a pump and the model 31 is semi auto. The gun was available with an internal, retracting sling that is pretty slick and in 22 long rifle or 22 S, L, & LR chamberings. Some parts are available through gunpartscorp.com
Any scope that you choose to use can be used on your remington model 700.
Any where from $50 to $125 depending on condition.
JC Higgins was a trade name used by Sears and Roebuck in the 1960's and 1970's. The model 150 was a popular model and were youth or children's gloves.
j c Higgins model 41 was made by marlin try looking for parts for a Marlin 80 it is the same gun
It was made by Crosman air gun co. Any JC Higgins air gun that starts with model # 126 is a Crosman any model that starts with # 799 was made by Daisy. Your model is most likely a Crosman model 180. If I am correct about the Crosman model 180, then here is the link to the Owners manual (See Below) The model 180 was made between 1956-1967
Value of any gun is based on make, model, condition. Your rifle is caliber .264 magnum, not Model 264. Please repost with make, model, condition, and make of scope. There is no 5.6X scope.
It looks like any mount that will clamp to the top rail is good. No gunsmithing is necessary to mount a scope.
All rifles or reasonable caliber are going to have recoil, I would look at your mounts or scope. tighten up your scope rail
The age of an ACOG 4x32 scope is determined by the date of manufacture which is usually marked on the scope itself. Additionally, the model number and any specific features can also provide clues to when the scope was produced.
Because you are asking this in the JC Higgins category. I can only assume you want to know if Crosman made JC Higgins air guns. The answer is two fold. Yes Crosman made air guns/rifles for Sears under the JC Higgins name. But so did Daisy air guns. Any air gun that started with model number 126.***** was made by Crosman and any air gun that started with 799.***** was made by Daisy air gun. The last 4 to 5 numbers identified the exact Crosman or Daisy model. An example would be, JC Higgins model 126.10349 really was a Crosman model 38C.
You will need a gunsmith to drill and tap the reciever to install a scope mount. Early 22 rifles did not have the dovetail grooves.
