Even if they don't know the twist rate off the top of their head, they could take a couple of minutes to measure it for you. Stick a snug patch on the end of a cleaning rod with a handle that spins easily a short way into the bore. Mark a point with a sharpie on the rod near the handle,, and another on the rod where it lines up with a fixed reference point on the rifle, eg the rear of the action where it joins the stock. Push the rod through until the dot near the handle has rotated a full turn, then stop and mark the rod at the same fixed point of the rifle. Take the rod out and the distance between the two dots along its length, in theory that is your twist rate, pretty accurate as long as the patch is oiled and snug in the bore. A gun shop shouldn't have an issue doing this/letting you do this.
