One of our local Gun Shops has a Savage 12 VLP DBM in .223 Remington. Outside of looking at the box, we were stumped on what barrel twist this rifle has.
Does anyone know where, if any, on the rifle that I can check what the actual barrel twist is? TIA.
If they still have the box the rifle came in, it’ll have the item number on it.
18465 is 1:9
18464 is 1:7
I’ve got a nice 1:7 VLP DBM for sale. 40 rounds down the tube, just don’t get to shoot much.
So there’s nowhere on the rifle itself that can tell you which model you have for sure? That’s freaking stupid.
Can you PM me a picture and your asking price? Where are you located?

Sorry about that. PM sent.
Stick a patch on a cleaning rod and mark the cleaning rod with 2 pencil marks.
The first mark goes near the handle for rotation and the second one goes near the receiver for depth.
Pushthe rod into the barrel till it makes one full rotation.
Make another pencil mark on the cleaning rod near the receiver.
Remove the cleaning rod and measure the distance between marks.
It takes a total of 3 minutes to tell the twist rate.
