steyr sbs 260 20 inch barrel what is the barrel twist

Usually 1 in 10....but it's easy to check your barrel twist with a cleaning rod & jag. You can find the intsructions on this site under 'how to check your barrel twist', also on you tube and on www.yeswehunt.eu site.

You can check the twist in any barrel like so:
Remove bolt from rifle.

1. Place a mark at the muzzle (Felt pen/tippex dot).

2. Place a tight fitting patch on cleaning rod & (Patch end) draw a straight line with felt pen along the length of the rod approx 15".

3. Insert patch/rod carefully into muzzle & mark the line as in enters the barrel at the mark on the muzzle.

4. Drive the rod into the barrel & as the rod/line turns & arrives back at the mark on your muzzle, place another mark on the line on the rod.

5. Withdraw the rod & measure...you will have your twist rate.
