What’s the Twist Rate ?

I just bought:
Savage Model 112
Series J
22-250
Serial # C845??2

What’s the twist rate ?

I want to be accurate out to 500 yards for prairie dogs.
What bullet weight do you recommend for this barrel ?
Thx

Likely a 1:12. Put a cleaning rod with a tight patch in it and see how far it takes for 1 revolution.

Test it yourself. Put a tight fitting patch on a cleaning rod. Put a strip of scotch tape on the rod. Draw it thru and measure the distance it travels to make a full turn. Traditionally most 22-250 were 12 or 14 twist.

Or call Savage with the serial # and they can tell you.

112 Series J would be a 1-14".

We are all assuming this rifle does not have a replacement barrel which may have a different twist.
OP- Was the rifle purchased new?

Maybe you are assuming...... he said it was a model 112 series J 22-250......all that is stamped on the barrel, no where else.
