Is this rare?
Question
I have the chance to purchase a J.C. Higgins model 583.23 bolt action multy-choke 12gauge shotgun, for $120.00.
I would appreciate any help in finding the history of this model.
Thank you
Answer
It was made by Hi Standard for Sears.
Its the Hi Standard Model 10 shotgun.
Its not rare and $120 is $50 more than its worth.
Many of the J.C. Higgins model 583 series of shotguns were recalled Sears due to safety concerns.

583.23 was not on the list but I would be leary of any
of the models in the series.
If you want a bolt action look for a Mossberg Model 195
or a Marlin Model 55. You should be able to buy one for $75 or less.
