Re: remington mohawk 600 243 cal.?
Yup, 1 in 10 is the standard twist for 243. Fire away! You should be good- no recall on yours.

18 1/2" with a extra stock which has a lot of grain color to it compared to the factory stock: but another factory stock also:The guy who sold me the rifle said there was not a full box of shells fired threw the gun.
I have 2 question
will it shoot 100 Gr. Rem SPCL Of course.
and the barrel twist is it 1 in 10? Actually 1 in 9" twist.
I read the trigger it not on recall only because it has a stamped letter A in the serial number

Winchester used a 1 in 10" twist in their rifles when they came out with the .243 in the mid-1950s......Remington used a 1 in 12" twist in their .244 Remington (also mid-50s)......thinking it would be used with lighter-weight bullets for varmint hunting. The slower twist (supposedly) didn't stabilize the heavier bullets (over 90 gr.) and resulted in poorer accuracy in the 100 gr. bullets. It's been written that Remington changed the twist rate in their Model 722 rifles in the late 50s to try to correct the problem because their 244 Rem. was losing sales to the .243 Win. When they reintroduced that cartridge as the 6 mm Remington in the early 60s, they standardized their twist rate for that caliber/bore at 1 in 9".

Yes......it's 1 in 9". Just look in any Remington catalog going back into the 1960s and it will show that twist rate for any 6 mm or 243 caliber rifle.lonewolf5347 wrote:wow: I got 2 different barrel twist
