A pawn shop in Omaha has had a squad of bolt action shotguns sitting around for a while so I checked them a little closer today. One Mossberg 385T at $99, and 4 JC Higgins. 3 are 16's and one's a 12, the latter is $129 and each 16ga is $99.95. They're all 583's, with various numbers after a period, no idea what they mean unless they're sub-designations used by Sears, etc. I had to handle one of the 16's, and the bolt was smooth with the stock seeming to fit quite well. Was looking right down the barrel, bead on top of the receiver. At least some of them had smashed recoil pads, maybe all of them.
They also had a Stevens 94 in 16ga, but it was something like $129.

Brent, those bolts should still be in the rack when you guys get up here and the pawn shop is easy to get to in Omaha if you really have to take a look! I'll bring the 21, but right now it's got its original pg/spl wood back on. I'll switch it back to a sg/bt if you'd rather shoot it that way--if it's warm your fingers would appreciate the "insulation".

I didn't realize that Ruger ever made a bolt action shotgun---the Ruger Gamemaster, huh?
