Has anyone got experience with the Midway/Savage switch barrel? Will this apply to a Stryker? I have always wanted a switch barrel. It looks like to me you could buy you an 110 action from Savage and build a switch barrel pistol!!!!cost wouldn't as much as an XP. Before someone tears up a Savage 110 and makes a pistol out of it ATF frowns on it severely. Looks like you could put anybodys barrel on it if it is made for the 110. I saw the switch barrel article in the american rifleman today. Is the action on a stryker same as or close to the 110?

yes they will work for strikers i wanted the 338-06 for mine since it was on sale but they are out only 1 left on sale is the 308 last i saw. im hoping to get one for christmas so ill have to wate and see. jason

and the answer is that the stryker is same to the 10 not 110 if its got 2 numbers in model its a short action if its 3 numbers its a long action so if id put a 338-06 on a stryker it would be a single shot. jason

The Striker is a short action. Correct? Lone Hunter

Yes, the Striker is a short action. Like was said, it is a model 10 action, so all the barrels fit. Just get a Sharpshooter's Supply barrel-nut wrench and have some fun!

Dumb question> Can you convert to savage smokeless by buying a new bolt and barrel. Would make one helluva pistol. I have never had a savage smokeless muzzleloader in my hands so this may be dumb, but I was thinking of buying a stryker and use it for varmints deer and deer during muzzleloader season. Thanks

Why wouldn't you just buy an Encore with a muzzle-loader barrel? Also, watch out for the regs, some muzzle-loader hunts are rifle only. You'ld have to use it during the regular season.

I like the idea of a smokeless muzzleloader. I saw some of the pictures on the savage site that show great damage with a smokeless muzzleloader. I couldnt do this much in a pistol(probably too much recoil etc.) but when you see a picture of a doe with her head blown up you could load at 75% and still have all the power you want. They are ralking 3000 fps with a 175 gr. slug if I remember right. I dont know of anyone trying smokeless in a encore(at least that either has any sense or more balls than I do)
