Sako Twist Rate

[Tyler Holderby]

Any information on why Sako Finnlight 2 has a 1-14 twist for there 300 wsm? The old finnlight was 1-11.

Maybe a mis-print????

I just checked the Sako web site and they list the Finnlite II in 300 WM and 300 WSM with a 1-11" twist. They list the barrel as Hammer Forged it may be off just a whisker either way. I agree with cervus it may be a mis-print.

This is what I found, I never found 1-11.

I just surfed the internet and there seems to be an old version or 2 versions of the Finnlite II 300 WSM.
One listed on Sako's Site as Finnlite II 300 WSM JRSFL41 which they list a 1/11" Twist.
There is listings other places for Sako Finnlite II 300 WSM JRSFL341 and lists twist as 1/14".
The 3 in the model number seems to be the way to identify the 1/14" twist rifle. If you you want one, Better check the number close or will get a rifle that will not shoot heavy bullets for caliber.

JRSFL41 is the original finnlight. 1-11

JRSF341 is the new finnlight II. 1-14

Noticed this, and this is why I asked the question. Could be a misprint on the new i guess

What would be the point of the 1 in 14 twist?..
