L.H. Twist

Kirk, what is the reason for a left hand twist in a 50. And is it a 1:20 or 1:22 twist. Thank's Brian

Good morning, The 50 is a 1-22 twist. The reason for the left hand, is so the heavy recoil with a 650+ grain bullet will twist into your face rather than out of your hands. Thanks, Kirk
