Description
J.C. Higgins Model 30 .22 LR
Serial# N/A
The J.C. Higgins Model 30 is a classic bolt-action .22 caliber rifle known for its reliability, simplicity, and strong connection to mid-century American sporting goods history. Sold under the J.C. Higgins brand by Sears, Roebuck and Co., many of these rifles were manufactured by established firearms makers and branded for Sears distribution.
Featuring a traditional wood stock and a smooth bolt-action system, the Model 30 was designed for target shooting, training, and small game hunting. Its straightforward design makes it easy to operate and maintain, while its solid construction has allowed many of these rifles to remain functional decades later. Like many rimfire rifles of its era, it is common to encounter examples without serial numbers.
