1000 at 1000

Last week I pulled my records and I have now shot one of my Strikers over a 1000 rounds at a 1000 yards, and I would guess it has Close to 2000 rounds 600 yards. This Striker I rebarrel to 6 BrX it’s on its second BrX barrel and I have a third BrX Barrel in the safe when needed, yes they or big and ugly and have a not so good trigger compared to XP’s but I’ve learn to like the trigger and the big ugly stock. Longest shot to connect was at 1150 yards that was was my Striker in 6.5 x 284.
I’m working on my 3rd Striker that I put a heavily 223 barrel on hopping to make it an under 600 yard gun.
Ok just trying to crank this part of the forum up. Talk to me

Impressive indeed. What scope are you using?

Sightron 8 x32 x 56
best I remember it has a 20 moa base. Biggest obstacle to shoot the striker is learning to use the factor trigger
at first I hated it and now I love it

I’ve gotten accustomed to the Striker triggers, as well. And the factory stocks are a good fit for my hand. One thing for certain, is when I’m switching between a Striker and an Encore on the same day, is getting the feel for the differences in trigger reach, as the Encore is noticeably longer.

Strikers for some reason don't get the credit they deserve. By the time I purchased mine I already had 4-XP's , a bunch of TC's , and a 15" 243 built on a PTA. It's a early model with the roller trigger in 22-250. When I found it by chance we were out Christmas shopping at night and my wife left me for a while so I ducked into a gun store. It was sitting in the case half covered in dust with a 340 dollar tag. In just a few minutes I had it sacked up waiting for my wife to show up. After a lot of hours on that trigger I learned a lot. I put a Burris 3-12 on it and its a good shooter.
