This particular variant, featuring the distinctive custom-painted Evergreen carbon fiber stock, is as aesthetically striking as it is functionally superior.

Engineered for Excellence: Key Features of the Model 2020 Waypoint

At the heart of the Model 2020 Waypoint's performance lies its innovative construction and choice of premium components. Every element, from barrel to stock, is optimized to enhance the shooter's experience and ensure repeatable accuracy.

The 20" Carbon Fiber Barrel: A Revolution in Rifle Performance

• Superior Accuracy & Consistency: This rifle features a 20-inch carbon fiber barrel, a cutting-edge design that significantly contributes to its remarkable .75 MOA accuracy guarantee. But what exactly does a carbon fiber barrel do? Unlike traditional steel barrels, carbon fiber barrels utilize a steel core wrapped in a lightweight, high-strength carbon fiber composite. This construction offers several distinct advantages:
  • Reduced Weight: The most immediate benefit is a substantial reduction in overall rifle weight. For hunters trekking through rugged terrain, or competitive shooters managing a large kit, every ounce saved matters.
  • Enhanced Stiffness: Carbon fiber is incredibly stiff. This rigidity minimizes barrel whip and harmonic vibrations during the shot, leading to tighter groups and more consistent bullet placement.
  • Improved Heat Dissipation: Carbon fiber is an excellent thermal conductor, but the way it's layered allows for more efficient heat dissipation compared to solid steel. This means the barrel heats up slower and cools down faster, which is crucial for maintaining accuracy during prolonged shooting sessions or rapid follow-up shots.
  • Longevity: The composite outer layer protects the steel core from environmental damage and reduces wear, extending the barrel's lifespan.
• 6mm Creedmoor Caliber: The rifle is chambered in 6mm Creedmoor, a cartridge that has rapidly gained popularity among precision shooters and hunters alike.
  • Flat Trajectory: The 6mm Creedmoor is known for its inherently flat trajectory, making it easier to estimate holdovers at longer distances and increasing the probability of a first-shot hit.
  • Mild Recoil: Despite its impressive ballistic performance, the 6mm Creedmoor produces relatively mild recoil, allowing for quicker follow-up shots and reducing shooter fatigue, especially important during extended range sessions or multiple shots in the field.
  • Versatile for Hunting: It's an excellent choice for a variety of medium-sized game, including deer, antelope, and varmints, offering a superb balance of velocity and projectile weight.
  • Competitive Edge: For precision rifle series (PRS) and similar competitions, the 6mm Creedmoor is a top contender, offering high ballistic coefficients and exceptional accuracy.
• SA Radial Muzzle Brake: The barrel is topped off with a removable SA Radial Muzzle Brake. A muzzle brake is essential for managing recoil and muzzle rise, particularly with cartridges known for their flat-shooting characteristics. The radial design efficiently redirects propellant gases, further taming the rifle's kick and allowing shooters to stay on target for quick follow-up shots or to spot their own impacts. The "removable" aspect offers versatility, allowing users to swap it out for a suppressor or other muzzle devices as needed.

Adjustable Carbon Fiber Stock: Ergonomics Meets Durability

• Lightweight & Rigid Construction: The Model 2020 Waypoint features a custom-painted Evergreen carbon fiber stock. Just like the barrel, utilizing carbon fiber in the stock dramatically reduces weight while maintaining exceptional rigidity. This translates to a rifle that is not only easier to carry but also provides a stable platform for consistent shooting.
• 3-Axis Adjustable Cheek Comb: A critical feature for any precision rifle, the adjustable cheek comb allows the shooter to fine-tune their cheek weld. This adjustability ensures perfect eye alignment with mounted optics, eliminating parallax issues and promoting a natural, repeatable shooting position. The 3-axis adjustment means you can customize height, cant, and offset, accommodating a wide range of shooter anatomies and optic setups.
• Hybrid Profile with M-LOK: The stock boasts a hybrid profile, blending features from both traditional hunting stocks and modern precision rifle chassis. It offers a comfortable grip for off-hand shooting while providing a stable forend for supported positions. The inclusion of M-LOK slots along the forend allows for easy attachment of accessories such as bipods, lights, and slings, without adding unnecessary bulk.
• Evergreen Camo Finish: The "Evergreen Camo" finish is not just for aesthetics; it provides effective concealment in a variety of natural environments, blending seamlessly into forested and mixed terrains. This digital camouflage pattern adds to the rifle's identity and appeal.

The .75 MOA Guarantee: A Promise of Precision

• What is MOA? MOA stands for Minute of Angle, a unit of angular measurement widely used in shooting. One MOA is approximately 1 inch at 100 yards, 2 inches at 200 yards, and so on. A .75 MOA guarantee means that, under optimal conditions and with match-grade ammunition, the rifle is guaranteed to group shots within a .75-inch circle at 100 yards.
• Proof of Precision Manufacturing: This guarantee is a direct testament to Springfield Armory's meticulous attention to detail and high-quality manufacturing processes. It signifies that the barrel, action, and bedding system are engineered and assembled to extremely tight tolerances, ensuring exceptional accuracy straight out of the box.
• User Outcome: Ethical Hunting & Competitive Advantage: For hunters, a .75 MOA rifle means greater confidence in making ethical, clean kills at extended ranges. For competitive shooters, it means a reliable platform that can consistently hit small targets, giving them a significant edge. This level of accuracy minimizes variables and allows the shooter to focus on fundamental skills.

Thoughtful Inclusions & Design Details

• Heavy-Duty Rifle Case: Each Model 2020 Waypoint rifle comes with a heavy-duty rifle case, underscoring Springfield Armory's commitment to protecting your investment.
  • Optimal Protection: The case features a padded foam shell, adjustable interior Velcro straps, and a muzzle protector. These elements work in concert to secure the rifle and any mounted optics, preventing movement and absorbing impacts during transport.
  • Convenience & Longevity: This inclusion saves the user the hassle and expense of purchasing a separate quality case, ensuring the rifle remains in pristine condition, whether traveling to the range, the hunting grounds, or simply stored securely.
• Smooth Bolt Action: The Model 2020 Waypoint operates with a robust bolt action, known for its reliability and inherent accuracy.
  • Reliability: Bolt actions are inherently simple and robust, offering unparalleled reliability in diverse environmental conditions.
  • Accuracy: The solid lock-up of a bolt action contributes to superior accuracy by providing a consistent platform for each shot.
• TriggerTech Adjustable Trigger: A high-quality trigger is paramount for precision shooting, and the Waypoint delivers with a TriggerTech adjustable trigger.
  • Crisp Break: TriggerTech triggers are renowned for their crisp, clean break, minimizing shooter-induced movement at the moment of firing.
  • Adjustability: The adjustable pull weight (2.50-5 lbs) allows the user to customize the trigger to their preference, whether for light, precise shots on the range or a slightly heavier, safer pull in the field.
• Durable Receiver: The rifle's receiver is crafted from stainless steel and finished with Mil-Spec Green Cerakote.
  • Corrosion Resistance: Stainless steel offers excellent resistance to corrosion, crucial for rifles exposed to harsh outdoor elements.
  • Cerakote Finish: Cerakote is a ceramic-based coating known for its exceptional durability, abrasion resistance, and protection against corrosion and chemicals. The Mil-Spec Green Cerakote also complements the Evergreen camo stock.
• Picatinny Rail: The receiver is topped with an integral Picatinny rail, providing a versatile and robust mounting platform for a wide array of optics, rings, and other accessories. This ensures compatibility with most modern scope mounting systems, allowing for quick and secure attachment.
• Two-Position Safety: The rifle features a straightforward and reliable two-position safety, intuitively placed for ease of use in critical moments, ensuring safe handling.
• Optimal Capacity: With a 5+1 round capacity, the rifle offers ample firepower for hunting scenarios while adhering to common regulations.
• Ergonomic Design: The rifle's overall length (OAL) of 41.50 inches and a manageable weight of 7.60 lbs make it agile and comfortable for long days in the field. Its right-hand configuration caters to the majority of shooters, with thoughtful design ensuring natural hand placement and control.
• Barrel Material and Twist Rate: The carbon fiber steel barrel construction combines the strength of steel with the benefits of carbon fiber. A 1:7.50" twist rate is optimized for stabilizing a wide range of modern 6mm Creedmoor projectiles, including heavier, high-ballistic-coefficient bullets preferred for long-range accuracy.
