tyler ,, yes I do. It's a shooter. I have taken +/- a dozen central Pa "groundhogs" w/it. Currently have a 2x8 handgun scope on it. Win HE ,CCI MiniMag,or Win Power Point (old silver box) are the ammo preferred . I've been switching over to rifle scopes on my TC Contenders &I'm probably doing the same w/ the Striker. Also want to replace trigger w/ Rifle Basic group. May even have barrel threaded this year. I added sling swivels(3) for carry & bipod attachment. Wish I could find a 22WMR model.

I've had one.
Mine is the 22 WMR version with a Burris 3x9 EER. The 3" spinners at 100 yards are no challenge at all. The trigger had too much takeup and was creepy. A drop-in adjustable trigger from Rifle Basix took care of that. Installing sling swivels on the forarm and in the hump on the upper portion of the grip enabled the use of a Harris
bipod as well as a sling.
