What kind of rifling does the factory barrel have?

The plan is to use the factory Sporter stock and factory barrel.
Part of the reasoning behind 6.5 Swede is when I shoot the barrel out I will most likely rebarrel to another long action cartridge and the Swede has a slight advantage over the 260 when properly reloaded from what I can gather, I'm also trying to work myself up to getting used to the longer throw of a long action magnum bolt for future use.
I may be making some slight modifications to the stock to suit my preferences such as sling attachment points and/or minor reshaping, it will get a steel recoil lug and bedded at some point as well.
I already own a blued 595 in 7mm-08 as a hunting rifle and I love it!
My brother has an identical 595 in stainless and a 20″ T3 Varmint in .308 that's set up for precision work.
