How about Ted Williams from sears or Western Auto, there are dozens of store brands that were made by companies such as marlin, winchester ect...

Look at the Numrich catalog, they have a very good list of store brands and their makers.

I have looked at a ted william 20 model 75 for a 126 in kind of rough shape. I a friend of mine has a western auto 410 which is a nice gun I am just looking around now and getting idea. Thanks

I have a Western Auto 22 rifle I bought new in 1964. Still shoots like the day I bought it.

I had to think about it, but turns out I do have some...

I've got a Sears Twelve Gauge pump action shotgun with very short barrel (great home defense gun), most likely made by Winchester, or maybe High Standard.
I've got a really old (circa 1940's) Single shot bolt action Wards Western model 38 rifle in .22 cal. which was most likely made by Mossberg.
I also still have a Ted Williams (sears) pneumatic pump air rifle that my parents bought me back in the early 1970's that was a re-branded Daisy.

I've got a wards western field 20g bolt with a 3 round attached mag. shoots great except for the metal butt plate.

My buddy has a Sears lever action .30-30 which was obviously actually built by Winchester.

It has a really shiny epoxy looking finish on the receiver and a nickel plated loading gate for some reason.

I've had and still do have a few store brand guns and like what I have had and do have!
One being, (that I got rid of some time back) was a WesternField semi-auto 22LR that was about as accurate as they come!
Alot of the old store brand firearms where "name brand firearms" that where sold and stamped with the store brand name on them. Savage and etc..
