Any trouble w/reliability, parts breakage, etc.? How is accuracy say at 25 yds? Also, any problems getting them to shoot point of aim? Seems some may or may not have elevation adjustments, not an expert on these guns.

Any info appreciated. Thanks.

I got a Pre-War Woodsman from my Uncle.Still shoots better than I can.

I had a Sport King and loved it very accurate
with no problems. I have a Colt Challenger of the 2 the Sport King was more accurate.

I have a HS HD-Military from my grandfather; it still shoots very well. Never had a hiccup that I can recall either.

I was kinda looking at the shorter bbl versions for carry/plinking/random game shooting just for fun, nostalgia carrying a classic piece.

MS, I came close long ago at a 'hammer ...HD' short bbl model, but the pawn shop it was in would not get reasonable on price. Seems they are around for less $$ now. Perhaps supply/demand have 'equalized' or the auction sites have changed the perception of the ratio..of supply.

Sounds like I could not go wrong with either. Thanks.

I believe either one would serve you well. I need to get an extra magazine or two for mine though.

I have both. I prefer the Colt (2nd Model Match Target), but the HS is a better shooter. - dan

I have had both perfered the colt but now the buck mark and rugers get the most shooting.
