The JC Higgins 12 Gauge Bolt-Action Shotgun is a rugged, vintage utility gun built for reliability and simplicity. Chambered in 12 gauge, this bolt-action design is a throwback to mid-century American craftsmanship, often favored for small game, varmint control, and nostalgic collecting. This JC Higgins features a 28-inch barrel, full-length wood stock, and a detachable magazine — a rare combo in the shotgun world.
With its bolt-action operation, the JC Higgins offers deliberate cycling and dependable extraction. The long barrel aids in pattern consistency, and the fixed choke (usually full) makes it ideal for longer-range shots. While not built for speed, it’s a solid performer for those who appreciate mechanical simplicity and old-school charm.
That’s a ton of character packed into a classic field gun! Get this JC Higgins 12 Gauge for sale from Wild Zebra Guns & Ammo — where history still hits hard.
