I've got a Woodsman Target (not Match Target) I bought new in 1977 or thereabouts. 6" barrel. I still have the box and papers. Minimal holster wear, with likely less than 500 rounds through it.
The plan was to make it the gun I carried when I was carrying a .22 handgun "just because." I decided a S&W 63 was better for that duty, although I also found I usually carried a .38 or .357 revolver instead.
For plinking I tend to shoot a Ruger Mk III Target. The Woodsman is lighter and more finely made than the Ruger, but if it is more accurate it would take a Ransom Rest to prove it. Based on what the Ruger does when wearing a scope, my money would be on it in an accuracy test. I never shoot the Woodsman. It is on my list to sell once I learn to use one of the gun auction sites and get to selling.
