    Get a gun and build it with a premium barrel and a really good trigger such as the sss.Then you can bed it yourself.
    Willing to give back for what the sport has done for me!

    Yes I had one.
    I think the twist is marked on the barrel but you could measure it too

    7 twist is sort of an overkill for 223 unless you want to shoot 90 gr bergers.
    1:8 is enough or 80 gr bullets.

    That said my gun shot 52 gr amaxes 1/4-3/8".
    It also shot 90 gr bergers at 3/8"
