i would recomend a 1/12 for your 50gr bullets. i feel the 1/14 is alittle slow for todays 50/55 varmit bullets. expecialy if you decide to shoot 55s. 1/12 is kinda just alittle safety margin over the 1/14.
1/14 is not the best twist rate, it just happens to be what we are brainwashed into thinking for last million years because thats the standerd twist for the last 500years. i will never barrel to a 1/14 even if i want to fling 40gr bullets. ill still go 1/12.

whatever you do will work. ask around about doing the 1/12
