About the Springfield Armory Model 2020 Waypoint
The Springfield Armory Model 2020 Waypoint is a lightweight precision bolt-action rifle designed to bridge the gap between backcountry hunting and long-range precision shooting. Featuring an optional carbon fiber-wrapped barrel and a carbon fiber composite stock with M-LOK attachment points, the Waypoint weighs as little as 6 pounds 12 ounces in its lightest configuration while delivering a .75 MOA accuracy guarantee. The rifle incorporates a TriggerTech adjustable trigger, Springfield Armory's proprietary SA Radial Brake, and a fluted bolt with dual cocking cams for smooth, reliable operation. The action is dual-pillar bedded in the stock for consistent accuracy across temperature and humidity conditions.
Springfield Armory surprised the firearms industry by entering the bolt-action precision rifle market after over 40 years focused on semi-automatic platforms, and the Waypoint's .75 MOA guarantee immediately positioned it as a serious competitor in the lightweight precision hunting category.

The Model 2020 platform was Springfield Armory's first bolt-action rifle, marking the company's entry into the precision rifle market after decades of semi-automatic pistol and rifle production. The Waypoint is available in multiple camo patterns (Ridgeline, Evergreen) and with either steel or carbon fiber barrels. The carbon fiber barrel option reduces weight by approximately 8 ounces. The TriggerTech trigger is adjustable from 2.5 to 5 pounds. Springfield Armory offers an industry-leading .75 MOA three-shot group accuracy guarantee at 100 yards. MSRP ranges from approximately $1,700-$2,200.
