Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The J.C. Higgins Model 101.25 is a bolt-action, tube-fed shotgun chambered in .410 bore that reflects the practical design philosophy of mid-20th-century American sporting arms. Sold through Sears, Roebuck & Co. under the J.C. Higgins brand name and manufactured by Savage/Stevens, this shotgun was produced between the late 1940s and early 1960s. It features a 24-inch tapered barrel finished in blue, giving it a classic sporting appearance, and is typically fitted with a fixed full choke for tighter shot patterns. A simple gold bead front sight provides straightforward aiming, consistent with the gun’s utilitarian nature. Built with reliability and durability in mind, the bolt-action design and tubular magazine allowed shooters to load multiple .410 shells, making it a versatile option for hunting small game or managing pests around the farm. The hardwood stock and forearm are smooth and unadorned, emphasizing rugged functionality over decorative flourishes. Combined with its moderate weight and light recoil, the 101.25 was especially popular with young or novice shooters, offering an excellent training platform while still being practical for experienced hunters. Its reputation for dependability and simplicity made it a favorite among rural families who needed an affordable, easy-to-maintain firearm. Though not designed as a high-end collector’s piece, surviving examples in good condition are now appreciated for their nostalgic value, representing an era when Sears supplied American households with dependable, workhorse firearms. The J.C. Higgins 101.25 remains a classic example of a utilitarian small-bore shotgun—straightforward, reliable, and built to serve generations of shooters.
