Hi!
I'm currently shopping for a short & lightweight left-handed bolt action in 260 rem or 7mm08... The only option I seem to have is a Savage 11 SA... I know they're fairly good, but shopping without options is a drag!
Anyway, the problem that tickles me has something to do with the barrel twist rate... Savage has a 1:10 twist, while Remington has something around 1:9 1/4 and the famous swedish Mausers have 1:8...
Since I plan to shoot around 140 grainers, will the 1:10 twist be too slow and hurt accuracy? I don't expect .5" at 100 yards, but if I shoot onto something, I expect the bullet to go where it's supposed to!
Thanks for info or comment!
