I got a Savage 12F Varmint rifle last Christmas in .223 caliber. Due to a very hectic work schedule, I am just now getting around to scoping it, and as soon as I am finished with an outage at the refinery, I am going to start shooting some paper and fine tuning it.
The only thing that bothers me is I do not know what twist I have, and that will be a fairly important factor in choosing the ammo I use.
Is there something in the serial number that would indicate the twist, or is there another way to tell. I know this model comes in either a 9 or 12 twist but I have no idea which one I have since it was a gift!
