Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Winchester Collectors Laredo barrel twist?

Hey fellas, anyone have confirmed barrel twist on the Laredo in 7STW and 300Winnie?

Thx!

I have a Laredo in 7mm STW. It is a 1:9.25" twist. Mine is a 26" non fluted, non BOSS barrel. The trigger is set at 2.5 lbs and is very crisp.

Mine really likes 160 grain bullets of many types. If I do my part, it is .5" or less at 100 yards for a 5 shot group.

I have shot the 175 Nosler LRAB factory loads, and it is about 1" group at 100 yards for a 5 shot group. I did not see any key holing from these.

I believe the 300 Winnie is a 1:10" twist, but not sure of that as I do not have one.

Let me know if you have any other questions on the STW one.

Thank Black, that's what I need to know!

Your welcome.

the Laredo is one of the finest post 64 guns Winchester built, Im selling a 7STW now ,out of 4 STW Winchesters, 2 custom shop guns ( Sporting sharpshooter & Sharpshooter) and a non boss Laredo this was the most accurate by a grunt. Mine to is a hammer using Federal Premium 160 gr Accubonds. very best winpoor
