now you done it, i will have to dig out my 501 striker ( 22lr) play with it. Mostly been using the contenders ( 22lr) for varmint control last one was a ground hog at 88 yards, 10" barrel- 4x scope. The savage was used for silly wet unlimited, quite accurate for a off the shelf unit. not real fussy about ammo either. I have a pair of exemplars in 22lr as well 10" maybe some day i will run across a 14" one. have a couple xp's and strikers in centerfire various calibers. The 308 striker is my main hunting unit of choice.
