Do you think TC is actually using a 1:10 or is this a misprint? :chin:

:chin: Everything I could find on the web points to it being a 10 twist. If its a typo they messed up in more than one place.
Seeing the moa quarentee leads me to believe it may be a 10.
This could be very good news for the 204R cartridge. I called TC. They're gonna call me back when they get it figured out. ;)

The short action Ventures are just hitting the dealers around here. I have a price of $429 on the black model from the local dealer. The SA models including the Predator must have went on the TC website yesterday. I will see if i can get a price on the Predator.

I heard back from TC. It is indeed a 10 twist.
They found through testing to get better accuracy with the heavier bullets. We all could have saved them some money on those tests ;)
Thats very good news. Hopefully the rest of the Manufacturers will wake up and fall in line now.
