Hey fellas. Recently picked up a new XPR Sporter in 243 and can’t find any information about the twist rate. Can anyone confirm? Cheers, Altay.

I'm having trouble finding it as well.
Oddly, the Google preview tells me it's 10"-twist, but going to the actual page I can't find it.
Best bet is to measure it yourself.

Yeah it's odd. I've emailed Winchester directly to find out...mainly out of curiosity. It seems to stabilise the heavier pills either way.
