For customers who demand accuracy from a bolt-action rifle, the Springfield 2020 Waypoint delivers out-of-the-box performance that rivals many custom builds. Dealers can offer buyers a rifle that doesn’t require aftermarket tuning to produce sub-MOA groups. In testing with Hornady Match ammunition, the Waypoint consistently produced groups well under Springfield’s .75-inch accuracy guarantee. See the rifle review.
