Welcome to Hunting Nut !!! Howdy

The Ruger website list their 22-250's with a 1-14 twist.

If you want to be sure of that and have acess to the gun, you can run a cleaning rod down the barrel with a snug fitting patch and measure how far the rod goes to make a full revolution.

I didn`t know you could measure the twist doing it that way.Thank for that bit of info .Its a good way to check some of my other rifles.
