Reply With QuoteMy money is on the 9 twist, due to the fact if someone has a 7 twist they got it specifically, and they know very well what they have.

PS: I would go with the BVSS, 250 bucks buys A half decent scope, lots of ammo, or even a match barrel.
Hello, hope to be a savage owner soon. Looking at a 12 LRPV .223 the seller does not know the twist rate and has no box. The barrel stamps are b6 A2 Sp14. I also have the serial number I could maybe give to Savage to find out ?
It is either a 1-7 or 1-9, if it is the 1-7 I might jump on it 1-9 just wait their will be more.
Is the extra $300 on the LRPV worth that much more over the BVSS, are they more accurate? I want 1/3-1/2 MOA with good reloading techniques. I like the idea of the heavy gun, target action and target trigger.
But I found a BVSS 1-9" for $650 and the LRPV is $900+ with shipping and transfer.
Any help is appreciated.
Yea back to my point twist rate, does the stamps tell you?
Thanks
Troy

RUMs are like woman in Stiletto heals, you know they are going to put you in the poor house, but that has never stopped anyone from pursuing them.
No the stamps won't tell you...at least usually.
Measuring twist rate is not hard. Have him take a cleaning rod with a patch or an appropriate sized brush and push it down the barrel and see how many inches he has to push the rod to make it twist once.
9 twist works for me in both 223 and 22x250 ai in which i use 69 gr bullets.
im guessin the barrel quality would be the same on both models.
mine are prairie dog guns. so long as i hit most i shoot at im happy.
the ones i miss are on me. if i wanted to shoot tiny groups at matches id probably
be talking to somebody like fred directly.
I have an LRPV 223 rem with a 7" twist. The barrel has the twist rate marked on it. So I would assume that if it doesn't have "7" twist" marked on the barrel, then it is a 9" twist.
Now that is a answer with the photo to back it up. Thank you very much for the help.Originally Posted by cqh1111
