[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1310580, member: 7999"] Zerk, I think you have been given as good an explanation as possible from all the previous posts. In my opinion there is no good reason for going with an 11" twist. Todays bullets are much better made than in previous times and do not have trouble with the mythic over stabilizing. Also there are very few bullets that can't hold up to the extra twist. There once were bullets that would separate in flight due to the extra twist, not really anymore. There is no improvement by the manufacture changing from 10" to 11" twist. This was a poor decision. An 11" twist gives no perceivable performance increase over a 10" or a 9" for that matter. In fact from our terminal performance testing the faster twist barrels give better terminal performance on impact than the slower twist with the same bullet. The Sako and Tikka are nice factory rifles. As long as you run bullets that are fully stable for the twist they will work well for you. Steve [/QUOTE]
