Thats what I am thinking, but all of the TRG I've seen are 1/12.

The spec sheet from Sako says 1:12 for .338, Alex from Eurooptics told me 1:11, now I am really confused.

And contrary to rumor, Sako has told me as recently as last week that there are no plans to change.

This is odd because they're all coming in now with 1:10" stamped on the barrel. There's a fellow over on AR15.com, who bought one before people knew what as up and his was/is marked 1:10. Realizing that they should be unmarked and 1:12s, he measured his a few times and it is indeed a 1:10" twist.

They ARE coming in stamped 1:10, so either your Sako guy is wrong, the barrel stamp die setter is a retard or everybody else is nuts in misreading/mismeasuring the twists themselves.

Does this mean that 66% of my info is wrong?

That sounds good, but it makes me wonder why Alex at Eurooptics would make that statement though.

If your barrel is NOT stamped, then it's more than likely an original 1:12" twist.

Hey Coal Dragger, I was looking at that TRG 42 down at First Stop also.
You should buy that rifle and I'll purchase some ammo and we can go shoot!
Sounds like a good deal to me.
