Hey forumgoers,

I just picked up a model 11 GHNS, 7mm-08. New old stock -- the mini-catalog in the box says 2006 on the front. I can't seem to find much info about a model 11 GHNS. It isn't referenced in any catalogs or specifications I can find. FHNS and GCNS are listed, but not GHNS. I believe the G stands for walnut stock, H for hinged floorplate, and NS, well I don't know.

Specifically, I'm curious about the rate of twist. For all the listed 7mm-08s, it seems to be 9.5, but this model isn't listed. Any good reason I should expect it to be different?

And if anyone can find a link to formal Savage specs for it, 2 points for you.

This is my first Savage, actually first new rifle ever (been all used up till now). Putting a Redfield 3-9x40 on it this weekend and getting ready for PA deer season. Looking forward to joining the forums here, so thanks for any help!
