    a tight patch on cleaning rod.
    mark its depth and rotation then pull out slowly till it has done one turn and mark.
    measure between marks, 12 inches would be 1 in 12 or one turn for every 12 inches.

    Or if its a modern rifle google it, most manufacturers will post their twist rates.

    What rifle is it?

    Very Useful Cam - especially if you suspect it may have been re-barrelled.
