What is the twist rate on a Tikka T3 22-250? I see many for sale showing 1 in 8", but Tikka's website, plus a few of the major sellers, show a 1 in 14". Did they have a special run on fast-twist rifles?

Did they have a special run on fast-twist rifles? Yes, they've done a couple limited runs in .22-250 with an 8 twist...still not a catalog item as far as I know.

Pursuit may be, it seems to me, perfect without possession.

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

The Tikka rifles had limited run rifles in both .223 and 22 250 with 1:8 twist barrels. I had one of each. I kept the 22 250, it is hell on deer and antelope with 62 Grain monos.

My stainless .223 is a 10 twist. 62 grain bullets shoot very well.
