The standard twist when itwas introduced was 1 - 9.25, now most are 1 -9 but a little daster at 8.7 would not hurt if you are wanting to run the latest or next round of very high BC bullets
lf the saying "Liar, Liar your pants on fire" were true Mainstream news might be fun to watch

a grandson is thinking 7mm-08, so I told him to wait and see if we can find the 1-8 or 1-9, found the 1-9.7 or something??, if he can afford, I am thinking 1-8 in the 7mm-08AI.

You don't need a 1:8. 162 gr, and 7mm-08 are peanut butter and jelly. Any heavier, and I think you scarifice too much velocity. Any lighter and you sacrifice BC (I care about) and bullet weight for energy deliver and wind cheating. A 1:9 stabilizes a 162 gr perfectly.
