While at my parents house last week, I asked dad if I could see the old .22 rifle that he had. It was the first real gun I had ever fired. It is a 50's or 60's J.C. Higgins model 101.23 made for Sears and Roebuck co. After some research, I found out it was basically a Savage model 34. This rifle is so accurate! I took it home to clean it up and can't wait to shoot it again.
