The centerfire Savage Striker pistol action is based on the proven Model 10 bolt action rifle design. Unlike the Remington XP-100, the Savage Striker uses a left handed bolt and features a two round internal magazine. This allows the shooting hand to remain on the pistol grip, while the off hand cycles the bolt. An Adjustable Muzzle Break (AMB) tames the recoil experienced when firing centerfire rifle class cartridges.
To address the new shooter market Savage has also introducted the Sport Striker in .17 HMR and .22lr - featuring a 10 shot detachable magazine. With a retail price of under $220 US, this is a very affordable bolt action pistol.
Note: One reader pointed out the .22lr Sport Striker is very similar to the Anschutz smallbore varmint target pistol.
