I have a Model 70 stainless heavy barrel 308. What would be the twist rate?

To answer your question...

The common rifling twist rate for the .308 cartridge is 1:12

You've managed a very generic question with scant details. Shooter 13 has provided a comparably good generic answer. Yet particularly if more than just idle curiosity, I suggest you make your own quick, simple measurement to determine the exact answer with certainty. Reference the below Google search results site for measuring rifle barrel twist. Quick, simple & a number of instructions available there.

Enjoy and...
My take.

I could not find the twist rate for that particular model on the Winchester site.
