I also think that J.C. Higgins is a very under rated shotgun. I love my J.C. pump 12ga, and loved my single shot 20 before selling it to a friend who now loves it as much as I did. We'd both had and have had browning and/or winchester, and both of us think that the J.C.'s perform just as well.

GOTTA LOVE THAT MARLIN MAGIC!!!!
