There has been some comment on the accuracy potential of 14" twist barrel on this Rifle.

For what it's worth, one of the favoured twist rates here for 1000 yard match rifles for military match shooting with the .308 Winchester/7.62 was the 1 in 14 twist. Bullets were stable to over 1000 yards - also includes handloads with 168 gr. match bullets. Would expect round nose 180 gr. bullets to work as well. Good shooters expected their rifles to keep 10 shots in under 10 inches at this distance if they did their part.
