If you have the rifle, take a cleaning rod with a bronze brush on it. Push it down the barrel, then put a piece of tape on the cleaning rod, so a tab points up right at the muzzle. Then pull the rod out until the tape makes one full revolution. Measure the distance from the tape to the muzzle, and you’ll have the twist rate. i.e. if the distance is 12", then it’s 1:12. samg Visit the rec.hunting and rec.hunting.dogs FAQ Home Page at: http://sportsmansweb.com/hunting/
