Hey anyone have a Striker? I think it would be fun to have a 308 Win. hand gun. Just for grins, but thats a lot of gun. Is the stock on these guns built well, as to help absorb recoil? How do they shoot?
Just wondering X-Ring AKA Scooter

Freedom wasn't free. Today they want our guns. What will they want tommorow?

I have a .243 Striker . Most any load will shoot 1 moa , and I haven't really tried to work up an accuracy load . As far as recoil goes , it is nothing that will hurt you , mostly muzzle climb . I imagine a .308 would be more of the same .

i have 1 in 223. i like the gun, hate the trigger. dumbest design i've ever seen!
mine will hold 1/2 moa to 200yds with 50gr Noslers.
left bolt right port is vary useful.

Hey Gone! Isn't there an aftermarket trigger for the Savage? If you are interested check Brownell's.

not that i'm aware of for the Striker. the problem is the unreal slack in the roller/leaver that conects the trigger it self to the sear unit.
looks like something Rube Goldberg dreamed

i got one in 243 this will be the first year i deer hunt with it.i put a rifle basix trigger in it and set it at a pound. im shooting 85gr sierra bthp game kings and 38 gr varget. jason

I shoot a Striker in .243 as well. It is awesome to use a rifle cartridge in a handgun zone for Deer.
The aftermarket trigger for the Striker is made by RifleBasix......704-566-1939.
My Striker is first generation, and I was able to adjust it myself. There are at least two generations of trigger assy. used, and it matters which you have and what adjusted "feel" you want it at. I never could get all the slop/travel out, and keep it safe. But they shoot better than I can hold.
There are two ways to shoot it. Classic pistol w/ arms extended (poor, because of gunss weight, and the EER scope required ). The second method, is hold it like a rifle stock, w/ the elbows contacting your chest. I use a Simmons Aetec scope w/ 5" of eye-relief. Shooting sticks are another option I use....shooting rests are recommended to take advantage of the accuracy! Muzzle jump is the main recoil symptom, but a strong rear hand is needed, because this pistol WILL come straight back linearly. If I had it to do over again, I'd opt. for the 7mm-08 caliber. Then I could use bullets 120gr.- 175gr. Loads of FUN! Sparkman
