![]() ![]() Sure we all know a 1/9 will be measured within a certain +/- range but I have some doubt it would go to a 1/12 rate "by mistake" of the manufacturer. It's actually boring to shoot any target under 200 yds with the 1/9 stamped on the barrel. 223 drops 69gn factory box loaded ammo down range without any issues. So now I'm not sure what to do I'm gonna call Remington customer service tomorrow and see what that say about it but in the meantime has anybody else ever gotten a twist this far of on a factory rifle? But according to my testing with a brush and cleaning rod it comes to a 1/12 twist. Started reloading for it and the bullets I wanted to shoot absolutely won't stabilize I checked the twist rate and factory twist is supposed to be 1/9 should be enough for the 70 gr rdf bullets. That's absolutely crazy, so I dug into the problem myself and decided it was my extractor, I did some polishing and light filing on the extractor and bingo that problem was fixed. Well I get to shooting it and the bolt was really hard to close on factory ammo so I put in a repair request and I was notified that I could send it back with a minimum of a 12 week turn around. 223, I found a new one on GunBroker for a price I was willing for and purchased it with the intent of putting it in my competition chassis and dropping a Bix & Andy trigger in it. ![]() Well I decided to make training cheaper I would purchase a Remington 700. ![]()
