I'm just curious how many of the guys migrating over own a Striker or a S P built off a Savage action.

Well…..i have the little 17hmr rimfire model. I think its a model 504?
The rimfires are sweet
I had a Super Striker several years ago but the grip was a little small for my hand so I swapped it for something else. The Savage was a fantastic shooter with it's original .308 barrel or a .243 barrel that was a Savage rifle barrel I cut at 17 inches and re-crowned. I would like to have another Striker at some point.
It's better to shoot for the moon and hit the fencepost than to shoot for the fencepost and hit the ground!
I have a 7/08 and another that started life as a 243. Both really great shooters. I have a Mcgowen 250 AI barrel that’ll go on what was the 243, eventually.
Should have the stock for the 7/08 back soon. Sent it off to be hydrodipped in multicam camo.
Not a migrater but I do have 2 Savage Strikers. One is a 516 that I built into a 444 Marlin, the other is a 510 (I believe) that is currently getting ready for a new barrel (of yet to be determined chamber) but has worn a 243 and 30-06 barrel while it has been with me. I also converted that one to rear grip and machined out a "chasis" stock from a bar of 7075 Aluminum. The 444 I use for deer hunting and the other is just a toy when I have time.
204, 22 K-Hornet, 222, 223, 22-250, 22-250AI, 6BR, 243, 243AI, 6-06, 6-WSM, 250-3000AI, 270, 7-08, 7RM, 30BR, 308, 30-06, 375 H&H, 444 Marlin, 450BM, 458WM
Me,post number 2, 7wsm in model 12,28 nosler model 12, soon model 12 in 25 prc, all target actions.
I own a few Strikers. A 22-250, 243, 7-08, 308, 7mm BR, and a 300 WSM. Most
have cut down rifle barrels or custom barrels with a muzzle brake. Am carrying the 308
in the woods this year.
Have had a Remington XP 100 in .221 Fireball for years. Started having "reach/shoulder" issues when sighting in thru the scope. Felt like someone hit me with a baseball bat!! Finally converted it into a rifle.
Not too long after, the shoulder issue went away so I needed another SP.
Wanted to try shooting a lefty action right-handed. (I'am right-handed)
Picked up a Savage Model 12 lefty repeater action. Found an ambi stock so off to the range. LOVED IT!!
Ordered up a right hand thumbhole BR style stock. Plugged the right bolt handle cut and recut it on the left side.
Added a single shot floor plate/adaptor and mounted the action on a Whidden V Block. Tactical (longer) bolt handle to ease the bolt lift.
Right hand stays in the thumbhole for stock control (bench shooting) while your free left hand feeds ammo and works the bolt.
Only issue? Have a hard time shooting my right hand rigs. Taking your right hand off the stock to work the bolt just isn't natural anymore.
That same "lefty action" was used to build another SP. Worked ok but didn't get the desired effect I was after. Sold the SP rear grip stock.
May pick up another XP in the future for my Wildcat round.. Perfect mounted in a lefty stock.
Oz never gave nothing to the Tin Man, that he didn't already have.
Although I've been a member here for many years, I haven't logged-in in so long that I couldn't even remember my user name or password, shame on me , so I re-registered as a new user, I guess I migrated. Here's the Gen.1 striker I bought years ago for my wife to shoot and hunt with. Had the paint laid down by 257Rob over at Specialty Pistols. She's just a safe queen these days, but I have plans to pull it out...some day. lol
I got the same as 6 BrxStriker because I’m now him
