Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Sears, Roebuck and Company J.C. Higgins Model 101.7 (Stevens 311A) is a classic American side-by-side shotgun that perfectly represents the rugged, no-nonsense “working gun” era of the mid-20th century. Built on the proven Stevens 311A platform and sold under Sears’ J.C. Higgins branding, it was manufactured by the J. Stevens Arms Company (later part of Savage Arms) and then rebranded for Sears’ sporting goods catalog line, meaning the engineering and production were handled entirely by Stevens while Sears served as the retailer. Chambered in 12 gauge with a 2 3/4-inch chamber, this shotgun features compact 18 1/2-inch barrels that utilize fixed Cylinder chokes in both barrels, giving it an open, fast-swinging pattern ideal for close-range hunting or practical shooting. It carries a straightforward fixed bead front sight, emphasizing quick target acquisition. The shotgun’s appearance stands out with a color case-hardened receiver paired with blued (patina) barrels, giving it a classic aesthetic while still reflecting solid mid-century craftsmanship. Finishing it off is a smooth wood buttstock and forend, shaped for comfort and simplicity, staying true to its utilitarian roots. Altogether, the Model 101.7 is a straightforward, dependable double-barreled shotgun that was built to be used hard, carried often, and trusted in the field—exactly the kind of honest, workhorse shotgun Sears was known for offering to everyday outdoorsmen.
