I ran across one of these .410 bolt action shotguns today for $225 with two boxes of shells and a magazine. I was tempted to buy it. I’ve always had good luck with Higgins products. I think this particular shotgun was made by Stevens and was their model 58. It could also be a Springfield.

Any on me know about these?

Sounds like something I would have picked up.

I have a lot of .410 so that is why I’m so interested. It’s a wide variety and 1,950 shells total. I had a Winchester 9410 that I gave to my friend in Alaska along with 2,000 shells.

It could've been made by Marlin.
I have a Sears model 45 JC Higgins which is really a Marlin 336 by all regards.

I had a Marlin made Higgins one time. In this case Marlin didn’t make this model.

I saw a Rough Rider SA birdshead in the same store. I was tempted to buy it also but passed. I’m holding out for an Uberti.

A lot of 410 shells there Gene, you definitely need one.
For $225 I'd be all over... I believe.
Depending condition, I mean.

Gene, I believe it just may have been a Savage, 38A and 58A were the originals.
Check this out, third page, about half way down in that first row.

I know! It’s in excellent shape. Some wear around the muzzle and trigger guard with the rest look new. I prefer to shoot left handed and this is a bolt action that I can shoot south. Some bolt actions bind when worked with the left hand over the top.
