Depends on what bullet weight(s) you'll be shooting.   Can be anything from 8-14 twist... depending if for 107gr down to 68gr bullets.

If MGM is your choice then they should be who you are talking with.  They can tell you what they use and what they recommend.

Here is a link to their 6mm page. You'll find 1 in 10 to be a common offering in 6mm rifles across the board.
