Need info about a savage...

[BC604]

Hi,

Recently I got an older Stainless Savage Model 16 in .243.

I'm hoping someone could help me get some information about this gun as
the previous owner couldn't tell me much about it.

So far I could figure out that it is a Savage Model 16 Weather Warrior,
it is Stainless steel, has a blind mag, and accu-trigger.
it seems these were produced before 2006?, and there is not much
information on the net about them.

It would be nice if someone could chime in some info about this gun.

Thank you.

Thanks for the input.

I was wondering if someone know the twist rate of the barrel or what
grain of bullets would work best for this rifle.

Easy way to figure out twist rate: make tape marks on a cleaning rod (at 8",9",10",11",12", etc.) with tape, put a tight fitting patch on it, and see how far it takes to make one turn.

That is an excellent idea.
Thank you.

Pretty sure it was a 1-10" twist with the 22" bbl.
