I'll take a look through the literature and get back to you on it. My guess would be 1:9

Hey Kelly, I looked around for it online to try and help pitch in here on the site,didnt find anything very helpful(im not a guru on the comp.) I did find a bunch these solutions though(i just picked 1 to share). There on Youtube also.
--Sinclair’s Simple Twist Rate Measurement Method-- If are unsure of the twist rate of the barrel, you can measure it yourself in a couple of minutes. You need a good cleaning rod with a rotating handle and a jag with a fairly tight fitting patch. Utilize a rod guide if you are accessing the barrel through the breech or a muzzle guide if you are going to come in from the muzzle end. Make sure the rod rotates freely in the handle under load. Start the patch into the barrel for a few inches and then stop. Put a piece of tape at the back of the rod by the handle (like a flag) or mark the rod in some way. Measure how much of the rod is still protruding from the rod guide. You can either measure from the rod guide or muzzle guide back to the flag or to a spot on the handle. Next, continue to push the rod in until the mark or tape flag has made one complete revolution. Re-measure the amount of rod that is left sticking out of the barrel. Use the same reference marks as you did on the first measurement. Next, subtract this measurement from the first measurement. This number is the twist rate. For example, if the rod has 24 inches remaining at the start and 16 inches remain after making one revolution, you have 8 inches of travel, thus a 1:8 twist barrel.

bigkelly,
Sorry it has taken so long for me to get back to you, just been real busy with work lately. So here are all the Savage published twist rates for the 24F line of guns:
.17HMR 1:9" .22LR 1:16" .223Rem 1:9" .30-30Win 1:12"
