Anyone know?

Might want to just measure it yourself, so you will know for sure. Several ways to do it, but here's a method used by Uncle Larry:

Good luck.

It’s the 30” barrel, right? I believe they are 1:8.

Factory Savage? The 12 FClass has that cartridge and the web site shows a 1:8 twist.

[Dave Hoback]

Yeah, I thought so. That rig is equipped from the factory, to do some damage on the competition scene.

I thank all of you for your answers.. I'm about to buy my 2nd of these, after 'playing with' my original buy for years.
