What is a sears and roebuck 270 rifle worth?

Answer 1

Well, honey, the value of a Sears and Roebuck 270 rifle can vary depending on its condition, age, and any unique features it may have. I'd recommend checking with a reputable gun appraiser or doing some research online to get a better idea of its current market value. Just remember, a gun's worth is more than just its price tag - it's about the memories and experiences it holds.

You're probably talking about one of the Sears Modles JC Higgins rifles sold in the early 50s. The value depends on the maker, and the Sears label used to be a detractor, but lately it's added collectability and as the years go by it will be more so as those things go.

JC Higgins imported excellent quality rifles starting in the 50s, like the outstanding model 52 from Seiko giving it's first US introduction, and the 54 by Browning, model 51/51 built on FN and Husqvarna acions.

I kept the best for last. If you have the first (model 50) from FN (Fabrique Nationale) from Belgium which used a 22 inch crome lined barrel from High Standard you have the only model including the first model 51s with the crome lined High Standard barrels, with a husquavarna action. The later manufactured 51 had differen barrel and action, some said the HVA 640 but the wood and barrel is different.

If you have the model 50 hold it dear, because those are becoming very sought after by collectors and because of their outstanding build and accuracy that blows away highly regarded rifles priced in the thousands today. If you have a model 50 which is in new or nearly new condition I don't even know what the price could be, but it could be through the roof. Any JC Higgins is an outstanding quality rifle if you can find them in good condition. You can't touch anything like that for under $1400 new today.

The FN action is outstanding and considerably superior quality to the other very fine actions, the HVA (Husquvarna) action is also an extremely high quality action. In the 51 some have the FN action with the chrome lined barrel and some the HVA without the chrome lined barrel. I don't know if there are some combining the HVA with a chrome lined barrel, or the FN with a non chrome lined barrel.

Any of these JC Higgins rifles built on an FN (Fabrique Nationale) action, compare favorably to rifles priced near $2000 today. (50 for sure, and some 51s)

The Belgium made model 50 with the chrome lined barrel wich adds to the useful service life, even more so. The fact that it was the first JC Higgins rifle adds much to collatability of course.

I don't know which you have, and you should have specified, but whatever it is don't sell it cheap because they are all extremely high quality guns and having that kind of quality put into a gun today is rare, and expensive.

I'm sorry this is a mess, but there are many variables and I'm trying to get this done and get going because I'm running late.

Generally speaking, these rifles can range in value from a few hundred dollars to over a thousand dollars. To determine a more accurate value, it is recommended to consult with a firearms appraiser or a reputable gun dealer who can assess the specific characteristics of the rifle in question.

Answer 4

Oh, dude, a Sears and Roebuck 270 rifle can range in value depending on its condition, rarity, and any special features it may have. Like, you could probably find one for a couple hundred bucks if it's pretty basic, but if it's a vintage model in pristine condition, it could be worth a few thousand. Just remember, it's all about finding the right buyer who's willing to pay for that vintage charm!
