How about we make a post with helpful sites where a guy can go for help with his Striker. Such as a link for a place where you can get help with the trigger pull of a Striker, or a place to get a replacement stock, or a custom stock even. Would love to find out how to tell the manufacturing gate of my Striker as Savage was no help at all.
Does anyone have any suggestions for muzzle brakes, scope mounts, scopes for both hunting and target shooting like with the silhouette shooters etc.....
Personally I believe the pistols to be great to shoot, but finding help with them is all but impossible. It would be interesting to find reloading information for loads in all the Striker calibers using the factory barrels.
Any comments I am sure will have some information that someone else may not have, so please feel free to share.
Thanks,
Trapper

For anyone wanting to build a savage Striker, here is good information I found on site. If I am correct, Savage built the Striker from 1998-2005.
You can build a Striker that will have an Accutrigger. The trick is that you need to get you hands on an undesignated action. I believe that you can order one direct from Savage. The other option is to contact Jim Briggs at Northland Shooters Supply:

Contact Information for NSS:
E-mail - briggs.j-b@q.com (that is Q.com not G.com)
Phone - 763/682-4296
Fax - 763/682-6098
Mailing address:
PO Box 333
Buffalo, MN 55313

He has undesignated Target actions available. In order to use the Accutrigger, you need to use a rear grip stock instead of the center grip that came on the factory Strikers. Then you just need to add the barrel of your choice. From what I've heard, you'd have a hard time building one for less than $1000. It would probably be easier to just buy a Striker and replace the factory stock with an aftermarket rear grip stock, and add an after market trigger.
FWIW, I just got my hands on a Striker in 300 WSM and was worried about the trigger. With a little time, I managed to adjust it to a rreasonable level without modifying anything, just using the built in adjustments.

Tony Gettel makes Striker stocks of Neal Cooper's design. Tony does great work and gets it done fast.
