RE: Need some help with Twist Rate!!!!
My 1:9" on my AR15 grouped all ammo from 40-60gr very well. It really shined with Sierra 52gr HPs. My 1:12" on my bolt 223 shot everything equally as well. My 1:9 on my Ruger Mini14 is just a spray an pray type weapon.
The savage will shoot great with that barrel, hope this helps your decision!
