Just bought this Savage in 223 today at a pawn shop. 18” long barrel and 7/8” in diameter at muzzle. It’s my first bolt action handgun. $375 out the door. Don’t know much about these, is this a Striker?

Yes and yes.
Something tells me that some of the Strikers had an oddball bolt spacing. If I was going to do a rear grip I would contact Jim Rockwell first. He might just do one.

Would a Model 12 indicate this is a rifle action? Pretty sure is. Advice to keep overall length at 26+" to stay legal. Might be why bbl is 18".

Found it in a pawn shop 100 miles northeast of Dallas, just south of the OK border. I’m sure the barrel came off a bull barreled model 12 rifle and they cut it off to 18”.

Good buy out there. Did you end up getting in from one of the pawn shops in Paris ? One of those pawn shops had Spanish fr-7 Mauser that I should have bought about 6 years back. I've had good luck there, the shops in Greenville, and mount pleasant.
