Twist Rate of Savage Axis 243 HEAVY BARREL

[uzi_man85]

Anyone know the twist rate of the new HEAVY BARREL Axis in 243 Win?

Thanks.

I know that the twist rate of the Heavy Barrel .223 is 1:9 and the 22-250 is 1:12 which is the same as the regular Axis. More than likely it is 1:9.25 and as you have noticed the webpage gives a big ole' N/A for twist rates on all the HB Models. Would be nice if they fixed that.

Yeah. I don't understand why they don't have it posted. Anyone have Luck with the 105 A-max in a savage factory barrel with a 1 : 9.25?

No problems with 3 factory barrels with the 105 AMax or the 105 HPBT. ALL ARE 1:9.25
