Talk to me about Strikers

[gunner45]

I'm looking at one, but don't know much about them. Are they accurate like their rifles? How do they compare to XPs?
Help me out here

 

[Ernie]

Good shooters generally-typically as good as stock XP's.
Trigger pull can be rough at times though.

 

[gunner45]

Any aftermarket triggers or someone that works on them?

I'm currently putting one together, Its going to have a 17" mcgowen barrel in 7wsm and its going to be a rear grip converted gun. That way I will be able to use the nicer triggers that are available for the rifles. The strikers are pretty slick, I can swich barrels in about 5 min. There were triggers avialable but I had a hard time getting a nice weight without slamfires. chech out the forums at savageshooters.com, a lot of info ...

338hammer (Neal) is making the rear grip striker stocks and is also making center & rear grip ones for XP's

Strikers

Can't believe that 8 months ago I got my first. Now I have 5 from 22-250AI through 375X300WSM.
Easy switch barrels, requiring no gunsmithing. Relatively in-expensve barrels in many calibers. Good triggers if converted to rear grip. Lots of takeoff rifle barrels available from free to ???. They all shoot great and with a nice McGowen bench quality barrel they are tight group one holers.

I have Benchrest Accurtriggers(needs converting) and I have Fred Moroso's rifle trigger on mine. I bought two benchrest actions from Jim at Northland shooters supply and made my own!

With the price of SP's that end up needing to be customized, I think you should consider waiting for McGowen to come out with their action and then get a barreled action from them and then purchase one of Neal's stocks. In the long run you will likely spend less money and have a better LR rig for your money.

That Mcgowan action should be a good choice.If you are going to go rear grip,the new target actions Savage is making look nice.They only run about $425.00 with an accutrigger,and are available RP/LP or RB/RP with both 223 and 308 boltfaces.I looked at them at the Shot Show,and was impressed.

 

[gunner45]

Does McGowen have a web site? I can't seem to find one. I've googled everything I can think of and still can't come up with one.
