i've had mine just about a year, it's a 1 -12 twist.shoots 50 gr vmax & 52 gr amax the best.all has not been smooth sailing..in that i sent it back to savage to have the trigger & ejecting problems fixed. still can't set the trigger to the lowest pull or the sear will trip when the bolt it closed..no matter how gently..it shoots great..i was the only one at my club shooting a savage lrpv..now there's 3

LRPV 22-250 1-9 twist

I have the 1-9 twist 22-250, completely stock from the factory.
No bedding, nothing.
It shoots better than any factory rifle I have ever owned.
And no it's not a custom rifle but it shoots like it.
I have been shooting 69gr Sierra Matchkings, Win. brass, Fed 210 primers
and using VihtaVuori N540 (32.5 gr) it's around 3260 fps.
Seated to 2.095 on ogive.
Seems to want one or two fowler shots, then is good for at least a full match before cleaning again.
I will try to include a target, 5 shots at 100 yards (65 degrees and calm conditions) Technically challenged so it may not work.
I have shot this at the Fairfax matches in factory class (of course) and it has been a lot of fun.

The 9 twist is a winner with the 69 grain SMK's. Surprisingly accurate!!
