What is the twist on the 308 win in the Remington Varmit specials, 1/10 or 1/12?

A 1in12 will work to and including 200grn. bullets. If you are shooting 100-200 yd matches I would use 125grn competition bullets and a 17twist barrel. I doubt anybody shoots over 135 grain bullets.

Butch I'm just getting the taste of it with my 308 VS. If I like it I will build a 30x47L with a 1/17 twist.

I just reread your first post. Get the 1-12.

Butch I already have a remington varmit barrel is 308 win. I wanted to know wheather they are 1 in 10 OR 1 in 12. The Remington site doesn't say.

Try checking it with a cleaning rod and a tight patch.

Yep I was being lazy.

Man,
I misread your post all the way.

I am guessing 1 in 10 which would be standard for the 308. I would prefer a 12 though.

God Bless, Louis

I called Remy. They said it is 1 in 12.

WOW!

Rem. 700 "Tactical" (PS or PSS), in .308 Win. is 1:12". It's either on the specs for the rifle online, or in the manual, I forget which.

Berger says the way to go, and the Dept. of Defense agrees, is 168 - 172 gr.

Dept. of Defense uses 175 gr. BT.
