Springfield Armory Waypoint Details

Springfield Armory Waypoint, Best Bolt-Action Rifle, right

Here’s some of what our experts had to say about the Springfield Armory Waypoint in their testing for the 2020 issue of Ballistic’s Best:

“Our first of firsts comes from Springfield Armory. That’s right, the maker of the M1A, 1911 and popular XD line of pistols. Heck it wasn’t long ago that it started its first AR platform and now it’s taking on bolt-action rifles. We must say that the Waypoint is phenomenal right out of the gate. Springfield did its homework for sure, working some three years on the Waypoint before its release. Springfield took its time and it shows in a rifle with fit and finish that you’d expect to see on rifles three times the cost of the $2,200 Waypoint. 

“Carbon-fiber-jacketed barrel, a true carbon-fiber stock, steel receiver featuring a EDM cut raceway, integral recoil lug and recoil pins on the top rail are components for the serious rifle and shooter. The Waypoint is a hunting rifle by true definition, but that’s no mark against it. The action is exact and smooth, if not a little tight. There is no slop, and it feels like quality throughout.”

Springfield Armory Waypoint Specs

  • Caliber: 6.5 Creedmoor
  • Barrel: 18 inches
  • Overall Length: 41.5 inches
  • Overall Weight: 7.6 pounds (empty)
  • Stock: Carbon fiber
  • Sights: None
  • Action: Bolt
  • Finish: Camo and Cerakote
  • Capacity: 25+1
  • MSRP: $2,275
