I don't know exactly what twist it is, if i had to guess i would say its a typical 1-12 twist. I have a Aussie magazine here that just tested the rifle and its very impressive! 55grn Hornady V-Max Bullets grouped under 1 moa every time.(0.864) They say its because the Barrel is free floated from the factory. 50grn Nosler BTs grouped an impressive 0.45". Cant argue with that!..

I just saw a review of this gun on Rifleman TV on the outdoor channel. It was in a 7.6 something x something (maybe 45).

Anyway, with factory ammo it got about 1.5" groups.

From the review, I wasn't particularly impressed with this particular rifle.

Not sure what the twist is. I have a 527FS and it's a keeper! It will stay under 1 moa with almost everything I put thru it. I havn't shot any of the budget FMJ ammo in it though.
Friend has the american and his shoots almost as well.

Most who shoot em want to take em home.
