I thought so. I remember years ago someone using the action, putting about a 16 or 18" barrel and wood stock on it. Made a pretty dandy looking rifle.
4-XPs
1-Striker
1-Savage PTA with 15" Barrel
But for shooting in Iowa I prefer Contender and Encore handguns.
An early Striker in 22-250. It had the tupperware stock that I strongly disliked. The Aluminum stock is from a young m,an that made rifle stocks of this type for Remington and Savage rifles. I had him make me a Striker stock as the only difference is the location of the front action screw hole. It was an impressive looking rig and so easy to shoot off a rest.
Sadly I had to part with it 20 years ago.
Ernie, my apologies, health issues off and on have kept me away. It was a brand new, never mounted 21” 30-06 barrel that we chopped the chamber down to re chamber to the 1.5” 30BR, then ran a 30-06 AI reamer in until it matched the .30 Bellm chamber. That way I can run fireformed BR brass all year and then carry shortened 1.4” Illinois legal length .30 Bellm when I deer hunt.
It kind of looks ridiculous that long, but balances beautifully, especially freehand, so I never got around to shortening it.
