Blackwildebeest, Impala, ElandWelcome Johan, What game do you hunt with your 3006. We have a few other members from RSA. Wayne
Hi Johan,
I think your rifle has a 1 in 10 twist, Some other members that are more versed about such things than I, will please chime in. The 30/06 is a very good Caliber & is used all over the world for many kinds of game animals. Pics. would be welcome!! B/T
Just Google CIP twist rate specs & a chart showing all the twist rates in millimeters per revolution for all CIP recognized cartridges is available. As stonecreek said they are the metric equivalent to the SAAMI specs, but not "exactly" the same. For example the CIP twist for the 222 Rem is 356mm which equals 14.02". Very close to the SAAMI spec of 14". The 6.5 Swede is 220mm which is 8.67" but the SAMMI spec is 9".I wonder if Sako ( or other European manufacturers) has ever published or otherwise posted actual metric twist rates? In European publications maybe? That would make sense…

As we all know, with Sako anything is possible!!Early 196o’s FI catalog…it lists both H&H chamberings with 1-12” could still be a mistake tho. Catalogs are quite notorious for misinformation. I’m just notorious for sharing it! Sorry guys
