After putting a few clips through it. I can tell you. This gun is going to stick around here for a long time.
This thing is the best shooting .22 I've ever had.
I can't believe how accurately it shoots. Nicely balanced, and weighted.
With the price I paid for it I can't go wrong.

:)I may kick myself for saying this but trading that Histandard for a Ruger is like trading a BMW for a KIA.

Wow Bofire, harsh words! :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:
I would think the Ruger would at least compare to say a Mustang, but a KIA? Ouch! :chuckle:

Also, I think you definately to buy a MKIII and do the side by side comparison
kinda makes a ruger look like a Tikka...grin...
:jacked:
Some low blows to a Ruger! Damn! I do love classic lines of antiques. (and the fact that the High Standard emulates the frame angles of the world famous 1911.) But comparing a simply designed robust Ruger to a Kia/Tikka, will get you no respect from me. The High Standards are known for accuracy with standard velocity ammunition but they are certainly not the most popular brand of target pistol. The Ruger series of barrels will stand up to them any day. My Ruger MK series are just as accurate as the High Standards, Smith 41's, Browning Buckmarks, Kart Barreled Colts, Pardini's and Hammerli's that I shoot next to every Bullseye match I participate in. I've test fired or witnessed several firings from many target pistol brands/models from Ransom Rest and the Rugers are just as accurate for half the price of a new High Standard and four times less than european target pistols. Yes, they need a trigger job to be a true competition gun. My Rugers have earned me (as soon as I turn in my league scores), a NRA Standard Pistol Master certification. Don't knock muh Rugers folks.. Them's fightin words! :IBCOOL:
Adnahoundsman, if you'd like a bit of exposure to the world of Bullseye league shooting, let me know. I think there's a range down your way.. -At least one in Olympia and maybe one in Battleground that has a BE league. Those HS's are sweet pistols. Don't let it be a safe queen.

You won't hear any Ruger bashing out of me. I have shot a few. And have been wanting one for years.
The High Standard is a deal I fell into. You can be sure if I own a gun it will get shot, ALOT :) it won't be sitting idle.
Thats why I asked if I should.
Shoot the value out of it or swap it for a newer Ruger.
Until last week the Ruger was what I was after. I hadn't heard much about High Standards. But after shooting it. WOW
It's a keeper. And now I'm still in the market for the Ruger ;)
As far as Competition shooting. I used to do it when I was younger. With three teenagers I don't have the time for that. Now I just shoot for pleasure and hunting with the kids :)

Adnahoundsman: Shoot that thing. They still make HS rimfire/target pistols. You might want to inquire as to when yours was built to see if it has any collector value though.

It was built in 1980 and the bill of sale is early 1981.
