Getting away from the scope talk here. The rifle is most likely a 1988 manu.
Any idea what manner of twist was in the barrel? I've heard anywhere from
1:9 or 1:14 any idea what it might be? How can I measure the twist? Depending of the rate of twist---what bullet weight should I look at for best accuracy at 100yds?
