twist rate in Kimber's 260 barrels?
« on: January 22, 2005, 12:20:35 PM »
I'm shopping for a new 260 Remington, but I can't find anything that lists Kimber's rate of twist.  They haven't answered the email I sent, so I thought I'd see if anyone here had the answer.  

My Encore barrel measures out to a fast 7 5/8" twist, and it works great with all bullet weights.  If Kimber is making barrels with an 8" twist, or at least a 9", I might be placing an order with them.  There's at least one rifle maker putting out 260 barrels with a slow 10" twist, and I know I don't want that.

Thanks.

Kimber answered my second email.  Their 260s come with a 9" twist, in case anyone else needs this info.
