Reply With QuoteOuch, can't help you boss, just went through my catalogs right from 63-69 and they don't list the twist rate once.
I never give up though, this is a challenge.
Anyone know what twist rate Savage used in the Model 110's chambered in .338 Win Mag fron 1963-1969? I would imagine it's 1:10", but then again Savage used 1:9.5" for a couple years in the late 80's with this cartridge. Catalog's from the 60's don't specify twist rates so I'm kind of at a loss.
This is the last piece of info I need for a quick reference chart I'll be posting in the 110 History section in the near future.

Savage- "never say never".
Between this one, .223 and .22-250 I think it's safe to say Savage was fairly wishy-washy when it came to the twist rates.
110's in .223 had 1-14, 1-12 and 1-9" twists up through 1999, and sometime in the last 10 years they added 1-7" as well on select models.
110's in .22-250 went from 1-14 to 1-12 then back to 1-14 prior to 1999. Since then they've gone back to 1-12" and also added 1-9" on a couple heavy varmint models.
I know the 7mm-08 has some fluctuation in it's twist rate somewhere in the last 15 years as well.

I don't even know what my twist rate is on my 7mm-08 but I know I take one shot and set the gun down.
