I bought one a few year ago and am learning. anyone know the twist rate on the factory barrel of one of these?

Thanks.
 
1-12" is the only twist I'm aware of. Should stabilize all 40-55 gr bullets including the 53 Vmax and 53 and 55 TSX, as well as the 60-64 gr "stubby" bullets like the 60 Parttion and 64 Nosler bonded. Won't stabilize a 62 grain TSX.
 
I've got one, bout 4-5 years old. Yes they are 1:12 Likes the 55gr pretty well, going to load some 50gr Hornadys I have, I'm betting possibly even better.

New stock, pillar bedding soon as material is here and has a new Leopold Mark Ar mod 1 3-9 x 40. I'm anxious to see what it will do soon as I am finished.
