I've got one in 22mag. Very accurate. Trigger gets some getting used to: some take up and a bit of creep. Minmal adjustments and no aftermarket replacement I can find. Topped with 4X handgun Leupold, it rings a 4" spinner continuously at 100 yrds. Left hand bolt works well for me even thoughI'm not a southpaw. Only drawback is 5 shot mag in mine. I believe 22 holds more.

Try here for an aftermarket trigger:

Savage Striker Rimfire Replacement Sear

I have one of these on a Savage Mark II Rifle, and it improves the trigger pull greatly. Mine is set at about 10 oz.

Rifle Basix makes a drop in trigger unit I believe. I runs something like $79. I saw it in the last IHMSA newspaper and don't remember off the top of my head their contact information. Email me and I can get you the information once I find my paper.

I have worked with a couple different Savage Sport Strikers in .22 LR. Both were plenty accurate enough, but seemed to be exceptionally finicky about what ammo they liked and disliked.

I tuned the factory trigger myself. One the one I was able to get it SUPER CRISP, and down to under 2 pounds, while the other one was quite crisp, and was able to get it to 2 pounds.

I have just recently sent Savage a letter asking if they would rebarrel my Striker with a Heavy 15" .22 LR Barrel for me. I have not had a responce yet though.
