Found a Montana 223,non threaded barrel. Anyone know twist rate? Rifle is new. Had a 7-08 once and it would not shoot. Any better now?

My 7-08 won't shoot 223's worth a damn either.

What fresh Hell is this?

9 twist
I've seen one in 223 that shoots just fine straight outta the box.

I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Found a Montana 223,non threaded barrel. Anyone know twist rate? Rifle is new. Had a 7-08 once and it would not shoot. Any better now? I've had something like 17 MT's now, and while some are finicky, with a little patience and experimentation all of them shot something sub moa. I mostly don't buy the "would not shoot" idea... what that often means is, "it wouldn't shoot what I wanted it to shoot"... or just as often the operator can't shoot a light rifle.

If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.

I think I might call my 'tucky Kimberly Montana. Sounds like a hot, slender stripper.
