Thread: Rem 700/7 223 twist rates

Greetings.
Most non tactical Remington 700 rifles will have a 1 in 12 twist. My VSSF bought in 2004 has and I thought long and hard about it before purchase and still wish it was faster. It wont stabilise the 69 grainTMK and have not tried it. The projectile does shoot well in my Tikka T3 with the 1 in 8 twist as do the 55 grain projectiles. I suggest that you make sure your new .223 has at least a 1 in 9 twist.
