Last summer I purchased one in 22-250. I am a big fan of single shot handguns and varmint hunting.
I shot mu Striker about 10 rounds and put it in the safe...mostly because of the Terrible trigger...much worse than my Lone Eagles. Next spring I will dig the Striker out and have a trigger job on it then see if it shoots well enough to be a keeper. Maybe my hopes were too high... maybe my XP-100s have spoiled me.

I'm aware of the bad triggers....easy enough to fix... how was the recoil? The one I'm looking at has a closeable muzzle break on it.......

Could a guy install an Accu-trigger in a Stryker??

Not sure if an Accu-trigger would work or not......Midway has a Rifle Basix trigger for the Striker.......

I have a Striker with the Muzzle break in 7mm-08 and it is a great pistol that is very accurate. I have taken several deer the farthest being at 175 yards. I put a Rifle Basix trigger on mine and it is great a real improvement over the factory trigger. Get one with the muzzle brake as it can be turned on or off that way you can decide for yourself which is best for you. I would also recommend the 7mm-08 it is a great cartriedge.

Recoil  on a 260 should not be bad, of course there will be some muzzle flip.
All in All that is a great gun.
