I believe the Savage M110 in .260Rem has a 1/8” twist barrel…
This puts it in league with the 6.5Creedmoor.
At least when I was looking circa 2001.
It’s something I’d check on if interested in the rifle.
My .260 is a Remington Model-7 I picked up at a local pawn shop.
Unfortunately it has, by actual measurements a 1/11” twist. However, it is capable of stellar accuracy with SOME bullets. With 140gr Speer flat base HotCores, or some discontinued Sierra 160gr RN, over RL22, it’s sub MOA.
Mostly, I’ve killed deer with 120’s. Best are/were some Speer 120gr HotCores.
Got this deer in Oct ‘21 in my back acres. 17yd heart shot… 120gr HotCor over 43.5gr of IMR4350.
Mostly, it’s the Indian, not the arrow that matters…
