Guaranteed accuracy. Carbon fiber stock and premium components. Nicely affordable. Welcome to a whole new bolt-action hunting rifle.
Springfield Armory has a storied history of building fine firearms for defense and competition. Now hunters everywhere can benefit from Springfield’s skilled team of gun makers. Case in point? The all-new Model 2020 family of premium American-made bolt action hunting rifles.
The first in this new family of rifles is the Model 2020 Waypoint shown here ($1,699 to $2,399). Made in the USA and built around the ground-breaking Model 2020 action, the Waypoint features a premium, hand-painted, carbon fiber stock and the option of a steel or carbon fiber barrel—each boasting a .75 MOA accuracy guarantee. More options include two stock configurations, two finishes (Ridgeline & Evergreen, shown below) and four of today’s best-performing hunting calibers. Available in 6mm CM, 6.5 CM, .308 Win. and 6.5 PRC, each Model 2020 Waypoint is built to deliver the accuracy and performance you should demand from a custom-grade rifle.
Springfield Armory worked with AG Composites to develop the rifle’s premium line of carbon fiber stocks. When weight matters, carbon fiber’s exceptional capabilities make it the best choice. Each stock is hand-laid, made from 100-percent carbon fiber and pillar bedded for perfect marriage to the action. With a weight as low as 6 pounds 9 ounces, the Waypoint and its carbon fiber stock is designed to strike the perfect balance between rock-solid strength and mobility.
How did we get here? The Model 2020 Waypoint is the result of years of engineering, testing and evaluation, combined with premium-grade components found on rifles costing thousands of dollars more. Lock time is the time it takes from the break of the trigger until the firing pin strikes the primer. The Model 2020 was designed to deliver primer strike in just 1.9 milliseconds, up to 45-percent faster than the competition. Faster lock time means less deviation from your point of aim due to movement during the shot—so when your heart is racing, so is your rifle.
The Model 2020 Waypoint takes carbon fiber to the next level. It features a BSF barrel jacketed in a roll-wrapped carbon fiber sleeve and loaded under tension. This means 95 percent of the carbon fiber sleeve doesn’t contact the barrel, providing cooling air gaps and promoting cold bore to warm bore repeatability. In addition, fluting under the sleeve reduces weight and increases surface cooling area. The result? Carbon fiber done the right way to deliver consistent accuracy. Each Waypoint barrel is 100-percent free-floated and is available with a carbon fiber or traditional fluted stainless steel barrel.
The trigger is the most important interface between the rifle and shooter. The Waypoint’s trigger from TriggerTech features a low-profile, non-snag safety and employs the company’s Frictionless Release Technology. It’s adjustable from 2.5 to 5 pounds with a patented, free-floating roller for a crisp, clean and repeatable pull. With a rifle like the Model 2020 Waypoint, every shot must count. To that end, the rifle employs popular single-stack, AICS-pattern magazines. Why? With exceptional design, broad acceptance and utter reliability due to the rounds feeding straight into the chamber, this magazine ensures you will have your shot—every time.
