Yep, me too - I'll have to kill some time looking though the various catalogs at www.wishbookweb.com and see if I can find the year that those first turned up. Back then, Sears tended to slap its name on all the airguns and firearms that it sold. I've seen many Crosmans and a few Sheridans with Sears markings, but never a spring-piston rifle.
See post #40.
Back in the mid 1990s a guy came into a gun shop I hung aroud and tried to sell a Sears 30-06 rifle. The owner who I knew well was not interested. I asked him if it was OK if I bought it and he said OK so I paid $140 for an excellent commercial FN Mauser with a simple but nice walnut stock.
It was not marked J.C. Higgins or Ted Williams. It simply said “Sears”. I did not get to use it much as I sold it at a gun show a few weeks later. I more than doubled my money and the purchaser still got a good deal.
