    Might want to just measure it yourself, so you will know for sure. Several ways to do it, but here's a method used by Uncle Larry:

    (311) How to Determine the Rate of Twist in a Rifle Barrel Presented by Larry Potterfield of MidwayUSA - YouTube

    Good luck.

    It’s the 30” barrel, right? I believe they are 1:8.

    Factory Savage? The 12 FClass has that cartridge and the web site shows a 1:8 twist.

    Yeah, I thought so. That rig is equipped from the factory, to do some damage on the competition scene.

    I thank all of you for your answers.. I'm about to buy my 2nd of these, after 'playing with' my original buy for years.
