barrel twist

catmechanic Joined: 06/10/2009 Location: nd	just curious if anybody would happen to know the twist on a factory Tikka T3 .223? if not, perhaps a link to a website that would have this info. looking at trying some 75 grain bullets and wondering if my barrel twist is fast enough to handle it. thanks.

Looks like 8 or 12. I assumed you were referring to the T3 Hunter Link: http://www.tikka.fi/pdf/specs/Hunter.pdf
