I inherited a JC Higgins Model 66 12 guage autoloading shotgun with built in choke/compensator from my grandfather.
I think he shot it once. Like new condition.
This is what I DO know about JC Higgins and this particular model. I know that JC Higgins is the brand name the Sears sold many rifles and shotguns under, back in the day....I know that this particular model (66) was made by High Standard FOR Sears to be sold under the JC Higgins name.
My question is...Is this an ok shotgun? Is it collectible or valuable? I dont want to be out shooting it every weekend if it has some sort of high collectible value.
I have shot it a few times...It seems a bit picky about loads...but federal birdshot seems to run through it quite well. I am pretty happy about it.
Anyone have any opinions or other info?
