The Striker configuration uses a single-shot, right-side loading port paired with Savage's floating two-lug bolt head and barrel locknut system. The bolt is operated from the left with a bolt knob, providing consistent lockup for the stainless barreled action.
The 14-inch heavy stainless barrel is unthreaded and matched to a stainless receiver. The receiver is drilled and tapped, and this example comes with two-piece scope bases and 1-inch horizontally split, two-screw cap rings already mounted. No iron sights are present.
The black synthetic center-grip stock integrates the trigger guard and includes an extended fore-end shroud for support. A tang-mounted safety with a red indicator offers a familiar, easily accessed control layout.
Chambered in .243 Win and configured as a single-shot, this Striker is built for focused precision from a compact platform. Made in the United States, it combines a robust stainless construction with a practical, purpose-driven design.
