TBEAR992 new guns
okay i just acguired two new guns one for hunting a savage striker in 308 win
second a wiley clapp colt commander for carrying.Never like my 45's to be shorter then 5 inch but this gun will be my companion i will need to practice alot as i'm used to an o frame colt and when instantly grabbing gun don't naturally line up for my but it still comes to sight quick and i believe practice will take care of this i have not put it to paper yet.This gun was made more for combat then target has a wider rear sight.The current american rifleman has an article with more details about it
I did throw a few cans in the pond and put holes in them this handles like a dream

TBEAR99thanks forgot to mention the scope on the striker is a junk scope so to get sighted in have to put another scope on first.I have a trip to colorado this year for elk so i won't be doing this anytime soon
You will love your Striker. I have the blued version of yours, and it is one of the most accurate guns I own.

kenoneillI had a stainless .308 "Super Striker" (the one with the laminated wooden thumbhole stock, and no brake) for several years, and it was quite accurate. I believe you'll enjoy yours. I used a T'SOB quarter rib base and Burris 2-7X scope on mine.
I read the American Rifleman article about the Wiley Clapp Commander, and liked what I saw. I haven't yet seen one for sale around here. Please let us know how your's shoots.
I’m envious… but in a good way.
Nice guns
