you can use a cleaning rod with bore brush on it and a ruler to verify your actual bbl twist rate. with the brush in to the chamber and the rod in the bbl handle at the muzzle end, begin pulling the rod out. when the brush is engaged in the rifling near the chamber end mark the rod at the muzzle for distance with a ring all the way around the rod and then a straight line to indicate rotation so like at the top of the bbl. now continue to pull the rod out until the rotation mark again lines up at the top of the bore and measure from the ring around the rod to the muzzle, 1 full turn in how many inches?
seems like Savage used various twist rates over years of production the easiest way to be sure is to check what you have in your hands rather than trust hearsay
