Does anyone know the twist rate on a tang safety Ruger M77 in 308?

Thanks!

I would suspect 1:12. Ruger may have an online chat or phone #, just reach out and have your serial no. and they can probably tell you.

Good thought. www.rugerforum.com may be a place.

There's a fine line between BRAVE ... and STUPID.

The M77 is a 1 in 10 twist. I have an old tang safety one and it likes 165 grain bullets.

Would the 22-250 be the same?

If you have the rifle, a cleaning rod, can count to one, and read a tape measure, just determine the twist rate. Why take someone's word or believe what you read when you can figure it out for sure in 2 minutes?

22-250 is normally 1 in 14. There are a few that are 1 in 12
