Probably 1 in 12. But, you can check yourself. Start a cleaning rod with a reasonably snug patch, mark it with tape or a sharpie and push it till it makes 1 turn. Then measure how much length of rod it took to rotate one turn.

I wonder what the reasoning was behind Kimbers decision to twisty these rifles so slow. Not exactly like this was likely going to be somebody's groundhog rifle shooting light bullets.
Just checked a custom 98 Mauser 06' I built in 1993. Shilen #1 contour barrel setting in a Brown Pounder. 1-12. I would have bet it was a 10. Of course 1993 was a long time ago

The 7-08 Montucky is "plagued" like a 308 Montucky,in that their issued guise will simply stabilize everything that nestles mag confines. I'm squirting 162 ELD's in the above rifle. Hint.
Now as to a 264 Kreed or 7 Whizzum,they're VERY different animals,on VERY different receivers/stocks. The OEM 7 Whizzum will Smooch and nestle .796 BC 180 ELD's and things simply don't get better than that. The 3" 'box really do favors there. Hint.
As an "All Arounder",the 264 Kreed certainly shoots softer and .697 BC 147's don't suck,even without an ability to Smooch. It outpaces the 7-08/162 melding and that's heap big praise. Where did you see one for $750?!? Hint.................(grin)

Kimber changed the rate of twist on the Montana model chambered for .308 Win in 2016 (I think but maybe 2015) from 1:12" to 1:10" twist rate. I have owned several of both and could tell no difference in the accuracy shooting mostly 150 grain handloads, they have all been very accurate....Hb
