Perhaps they're confirming from something that's a misprint. Can't believe they'd produce a 1:11.

The 308 is a 1 in 11
All 6.5 from Howa are 1 in 8.

I would bet almost anything that the twist on that rifle is 1:8. Try emailing legacy sports, they've always responded very quickly when I've emailed them with questions.

In the back of their catalog, they state that all 6.5 are 1 in 8" twist.
