The Springfield Armory Waypoint chambered in 308 Winchester is a purpose-built bolt action rifle designed for precision applications, ranging from long-range hunting to competitive shooting. This variant integrates a carbon fiber barrel and a fixed carbon fiber stock in a green finish, optimizing the platform for weight reduction without compromising ballistic performance or structural rigidity.
Key Features
Carbon Fiber Barrel Integration
This Waypoint model incorporates a 20-inch carbon fiber-wrapped barrel. The carbon fiber construction mitigates thermal expansion and reduces overall rifle weight, enhancing maneuverability and sustained accuracy during extended firing sequences. The barrel features a 1:10″ twist rate, optimized for stabilizing a broad range of 308 Winchester projectile weights, and is threaded 5/8×24 for direct suppressor or muzzle device attachment.
Precision Receiver and Bolt System
The rifle is built upon Springfield Armory’s Model 2020 action, machined from 416 stainless steel. This action maintains precise tolerances for consistent lockup and reliable feeding. The fluted 4140 steel bolt features dual opposing lugs and a nitride finish, ensuring smooth operation and enhanced corrosion resistance. The integrated Picatinny rail allows for direct optics mounting, promoting rigidity and repeatability.
Adjustable TriggerTech Trigger
Equipped with an adjustable TriggerTech trigger, the Waypoint allows for precise pull weight customization, typically ranging from 1.5 to 4 pounds. This crisp, zero-creep trigger enhances shooter interface, facilitating consistent shot placement and reducing potential for user-induced error.
Ergonomic Carbon Fiber Stock
The Waypoint features an AG Composites carbon fiber stock in a fixed configuration with a distinct green finish. This stock provides a stable and lightweight foundation for the rifle. The ergonomic design includes an adjustable comb, enabling shooters to achieve optimal eye relief and cheek weld for various optic setups, thereby enhancing shooter comfort and target acquisition.
