Is that that bolt action shotgun? If it is(I'm too lazy to get up and go check the model#)I have one my dad bought used in about 1975 or 1976 for me and my brother. He paid $25.00 for it. In my opinion he got took. I figure it is worth more like 25 cents[xx(]. Mine doesn't have a variable choke.

I do not find that precise model decimal designation in the crossover lists, so I cannot relate the shotgun to a manufacturer and underlying model. Sears did not manufacture firearms, they contracted lots with their names (J.C. Higgins, Sears, Ranger) from many manufacturers, usually in an economy model (plainer wood, for example). These have generated little collector interest which is what drives up after market prices. Almost all have modest values being sold as shooters, not collectable. Thus, $150-$200 is probably the top value you can acheive. 0 -
I've seen these sell at gun auctions from $45- $125. Just depends on who's there that day. I'd think a 16 guage would sell easier than a 20 or 12, 16's seem to be a novelty lately. There is absolutely nothing wrong with a bolt shotgun. Most are rock solid. They're kind of like cheap liquor, nothing to brag about, but they still get the job done. One of my favorite guns is an old Sears single shot .410
Nothing but good memories of a simpler and happier lifestyle.
