Hi,
My Tikka 595 has a 1 in 10" twist barrell. It will shoot .5 moa 3 shot groups with 70gn Nosler Ballistic Tips. Not bad from a factory barrell.

Jeff it is real easy to tell what the twist is, all you have to do is put a patch on you cleaning jag, get it started in the barrel put a mark on the cleaning rod close to the action and one by the handle of the cleaning rod, push this thru the barrel slowly until you make one complete revolution with the cleaning rod when the mark by the handle returns to where you first marked it, then put another mark on the cleaning rod by the action, push the patch through pull the rod out and measure the distance from the two marks on the rod that you marked by the action and that is your twist.
