Kind of strike producing savage, unrestrained act (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wildcat

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'kind of strike' is the definition.
'wildcat' can be an answer for 'strike' (thesaurus). I am not certain of the 'kind of' bit.

'savage unrestrained act' is the wordplay.
'savage' becomes 'wild' (synonyms).
'unrestrained' indicates an anagram.
'act' anagrammed gives 'cat'.
'wild'+'cat'='WILDCAT'

'producing' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for wildcat that I've seen before include "Lynx, for example" , "Exploratory oil well" , "Ferocious person" , "Lynx, e.g." , "Well, kind of" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
