I have one marked jc higgins, came with a peep site,pretty fun rifle to shoot,picked mine up at the local pawn shop,traded a porter cable finish nailer for it!
If you look at the model interchange list at numrich gun parts,you can find out what the dep't stores labeled th 4c as,then search the gun auctions(gunbroker,auctionarms etc) for the gun that way,usually the store branded rifles bring less money than the one's with makers name on it.
What I'd like to find is an old bolt action with a tube feed magazine,as most of these will digest shorts,longs,or long rifle rounds, I wouldn't care if it were an old savage,or a mossberg,they're both pretty accurate rifles, I hava a 151k mossberg,it came from the other pawn in town, it's tube fed semi-auto,feed tube is in the buttstock,real pretty piece of real walnut for the stock. It's a tackdriver too, I shoot broken pieces of clay pigeons at the 50 yd berm till they are too small to see through the scope! It's also taken it's share of sage rats since I've owned it,and probably several thousand more before me!
