Like most Savages I've found it to be very accurate, easily sub MOA.
I used Hornady 55 grain vmax for varmints and that grouped tight. Didn't really experiment too much with different ammos to see what the limits of the rifle were.
I'm not sure on the twist rate. It was a Cabelas/Sportsmans exclusive model that's now discontinued so I'm struggling to find that spec. I can call Savage customer service tomorrow and see if they can look it up.
Great condition Savage 16 in .223. Stainless steel with 24" fluted barrel, hinged floor plate and aluminum v-block bedding. Comes with DNZ game reaper 1-piece mount (1 inch tube diameter). Bought this as a varmint rifle but I don't get out anymore.
1-9 twist

I have first lite catalyst in like new condition, size Large (Conifer color). Only worn a handful of times but just a little too big for me. Looking to trade straight up for a solid colored FL catalyst jacket in size medium.
