The 2008 should have a 1-12 twist. The 1-9 twist is generally stamped by the chamber marking on the barrel.

I have one that's the same year of manufacture. It does very well with 55gr and lighter bullets. Favorite loads use a 52gr Sierra Match King or 55gr V-max, had good luck with a 53gr Barnes TSX and 53gr Nosler Varmageddon too.
