- Since Springfield released their hunting rifle Waypoint 2020 some years ago, I have been eager to get an opportunity to check it out. I've heard that it will be one of the best "Out-of-the-box" rifles on the market and maybe the best rifle for the money in this price range.
At SHOT Show 2023, I met Steve Horsman in Springfield Armory's booth and I could take a closer look at this rifle...and I did not get disappointed!
It is a very nice and well-built rifle. It will be perfect for deer or wild boar hunting, especially at a little longer range.

I have owned the 6.5 in Carbon Fiber for over a year and absolutely love this gun. I have shot over 300 rounds thru it and its as accurate as the day I bought it. I waited several months to get my hands on it and it was worth every waiting day!!!
Nice, it looks like a fine rifle.

I’ve got the 6.5 PRC in this rifle and I love it. Enjoyed the interview
Thanks!
I would like to have this rifle in 7 PRC.
//Tobias
Nice interview. Most Americans won't appreciate how challenging it can be to interview a fast-speaker in a foreign language. It is VERY difficult.
Thanks!
I am happy that you liked the video.
Regards,
Tobias
Just ordered one today it will be in next week I chose 6.5 Creed Moore In evergreen with the carbon fiber barrel I haven't been this excited since I purchased my 338 Lapua
Nice!
I think you will be happy, it looked really nice as far as I could see at the SHOT Show.
//Tobias
Why not use the 03 action instead of a push feed
I own the 308 with the carbon barrel and adjustable stock. Its a tack driver and they knocked it out of the park for thier first bolt action.
Cool!
Good to know.
//Tobias
@@RedMooseHuntingi have 2 videos on my channel about it. Check them out.
What hunting ammo do you prefer for it? I just got the 308. Thanks
@@hiwayhighway9925 i love 168 grain a max from freedom ammunition. Dropped everything i have shot with it. Super accurate.
@@joshuascout5549 thank you for the reply. Will check it out
Can the barrel be replaced in the future? I read somewhere you can not change it and 6.5 prc shortens barrel life so when you meed to replace the barrel you cant. Any input?
Sorry, that is something I do not know. However, I would guess that at gunsmith could change the barrel.
I with you a nice day!
Tobias
The detachable magazine of my springfield is so loose, feel bad for picky buyers
Ok, good to know.
//Tobias
they need to make one in 28 nolser and ill buy one
But we need more chamberings. Why not something in 7mm rem mag or even 7mm prc.
7 PRC would bea winner for me! ;-)
//Tobias
Steve sure stuttered a lot. He seemed to stumble through the information on his rifles as well. I think I knew more about the Waypoint than he did and I’m just an owner. I love the Springfield Waypoint. It is my favorite rifle.
;-) To his defend I think he work on a different department, we came by Springfield booth many times for an interview and as I remembered it the right guy for this product was always busy elsewhere, so Steve took the interview.
Glad you like your rifle, I am VERY eager to get on and I hope the will be someone who can distribute them here in Sweden. It feels super nice. Do you have the one with or without adjustable comb?Any inputs on that part? Normally I always have adjustable comb, but I have seen some reviews that says that the waypoint from scratch is high enough to align a low mounted scope, as I want to save some weight I consider to go for the one without the adjustable comb.
Regards,
Tobias
@@RedMooseHunting I have the non-adjustable stock and it is fine. If you mount your scope low, the stock is high enough for a good cheek weld. The adjustable stock also adds money and weight. So I opted not to get one, and I do not regret it.
I am using the Vortex Gen 3 LHT 4 x 22 Razor on my Waypoint, so it is a really light weight setup.
These rifles are cool, but I wish every rifle manufacture would charge and extra $20 for their rifles. The extra $20 will cover the quality control and accuracy test.
Yeah, I really like these rifles. Hope they will sell them in Sweden some day....
Have a nice day Derek,
Tobias
does this come in 300 PRC?
Sorry, do not know that.
//Tobias
7mm-08 please
;-)
Springfield introduces a rifle and doesn't offer it chambered in the 30-06 Springfield; Instant epic fail.
;-)
Yeah, one way to see it... if only consider the legacy of the .30-06
Me myself would gladly buy this rifle if it was available in Sweden, but not in .30-06
Thanks for your comment, stay safe!
//Tobias
@@RedMooseHunting They didn't chamber it in 6.5 Swede or 7mmRM either, did they.
Any mag calibers in future
Sorry, can't answer that...
//Tobias
Too bad that Springfield can’t build a left hand bolt, very disappointed 😢
Yeah, that's a downside....:-(
//Tobias
I'm left handed. Just buy it right handed and shoot it lefty. You're not taking speed shots for accuracy so the extra movement shouldn't matter. Unless that is what you're doing then forget what I said 😂
Looks like a Bergara Crest to me 🤔
By the looks they are similar, and Bergara is also very nice rifles.
//Tobias
I was stuck on getting a waypoint until the crest came out. I bought the Bergara is 308 and think I made the right choice. I hate carbon barrels though and the waypoint steel barrel just wasn't doing it for me
@@tjames525 good choice! Got mine just recently... Got a bedding job too... Didn't shoot it yet but I'm very excited... Such a beauty
I love when manufacturers listen to their customers. The lighter, the shorter the better it is. The only problem with this rifle is the price. It is over priced for .75 moa. A 400 dollar Savage can do that.
:-)
Why is this Rifle so limited to these Calibers ?? No 30.06 ??? 7 PRC ?? 7mmRM ?? 300 MW ?? That's a deal breaker for me at this price point !! I will emphasize this... Springfield Armory releasing a gun without a 30.06 caliber option is like Dairy Queen making Milkshakes without Ice Cream ...It truly is an insult to the brand and to the Springfield Gun enthusiasts !! Epic Failure !!
Sportsman's Warehouse has a listing for 300 win mag and 7 rem mag now
