Sauer (Rate of twist)

[seporith]

Enjoying reading on the forum. Anyone have the rate of twist for a Colt Sauer in 7mm Mag? Thanks, Anthony

a quick check of colt catalogs from that era doesnt disclose twist rate. best bet would be to measure it with a cleaning rod with rotating handle and a tight patch.

From custom to factory they run from 1:8 to 1:12. Some research shows the common twists are 1:9 ans 1:10.

My Mark X Argentine Action w/ Douglas barrel has a 1:10 (requested)

My Weatherby Vanguard has a 1:10 factory. Won this rifle on an antelope hunt in Gillette, Wyoming in the mid 70s.

My Colt/J. P. Sauer & Sohns 270 has a 1:10 twist.
