My Dad and I went out in the back yard and fired off about 250-300 .22LR rounds today. I bet him I could out shoot him with my Ruger MKIII, with his High Standard Supermatic Citation and Sport King. And I did! 
All three guns with target, Top two targets are the Ruger, Bottom two are the Supermatic and Sport King 
My best shot with the Ruger 
Few pics of the Supermatic, Just got it working again after 30 years of sitting in a safe. Trigger wouldn't reset. 
About as fast as i can shoot and keep a good group. 
ETA: for larger pics Ben |

We keep the Varmint off our land with our .22's. Mainly Skunk, Dillos and Yotes. Long range yote shots with a .223 AR15, just need to work up a few loads.
I'm glad other people understand you should be able to shoot in your own backyard. Just never have to worry about it.

Quoted: What did you do to get the Hi Standard trigger working? Just a cleaning? Last time I had to order a new trigger spring :( I bought an old HS (same make and model IIRC) at an estate sale once, similar conditions. Yes, just a good cleaning. Dunno if the OPs story is different. |

Dunno if the OPs story is different. Well I just ordered a few parts from E GunParts but in the mean time I just put a spring on the back of the trigger just cut it to length and screwed in the trigger set screw. And it hasn't failed yet. New parts and mag should be here in a few days. $42 for a 10round mag  but it's needed. Found one at a gun show for $20 a while back.
I think after 30years it was just a sticky trigger, and old parts, the spring I added works great. Ben |
