[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 130486, member: 10"] Ray Prager, The Striker is a fine handgun but as witha all Savage firearms, I highly recommend fitting the barrels in the same manor as a Rem 700. THis makes a switch barrel a bit more difficult but it greatly simplifies the bedding of the handgun as well as any issues that can arrise from that. For the 330 Dakota, I would lean toward the XP-100 over the striker simply because of the bolt modifications that will most likely be needed with the stiker which can be a bit difficult to perform accurately on the very short Savage bolt head section. I would not be concerned about the strength of the Striker with this round but modifying an XP-100 is pretty easy, the Striker maybe a different beast to convert into this size of a chambering. Stocks are another concern when dealing with these very large handguns. I am not sure if the Strikers stock would be up to this challange in the recoil lug support area. Factory XP-100 stocks are not even close to being suitable for these big handguns and aftermarket stocks are the only way to get a reliable grip on these heavy kickers. While felt recoil with these big handguns is not bad at all, actual recoil energy that the stock has to withstand is the same as if the XP did not have a brake on it at all. THis is because the recoil energy builds up to the point the bullet exits the muzzle and then it stops instantly. Does not matter if there is a brake or not, the handgun system itself is subjected to the same recoil energy no matter if there is a brake or not. The stock would be a concern of mine with the striker. Good Shooting!! Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
