Overview
The Springfield Armory Waypoint 6.5 PRC Bolt Action Rifle is engineered for precision long-range applications, combining advanced material science with meticulous manufacturing. This platform is designed to deliver repeatable accuracy and robust performance for demanding field environments and competitive scenarios. Its integrated design elements focus on mitigating recoil, optimizing balance, and providing consistent shot placement.
Key Features
Precision Carbon Fiber Barrel
The Waypoint features a 22-inch carbon fiber jacketed barrel, significantly reducing overall rifle weight while maintaining the rigidity crucial for consistent harmonics. This fluted barrel is precision-machined with a 1:8 twist rate, specifically optimized for stabilizing a broad range of 6.5 PRC projectile weights. The muzzle is threaded 5/8×24, allowing for direct attachment of suppressors or muzzle devices, facilitating recoil mitigation and shot signature management. Material composition includes high-grade stainless steel with a carbon fiber jacket.
Proprietary Action System
Central to the Waypoint’s precision is its proprietary bolt action. The receiver is constructed from 7075-T6 billet aluminum, providing a rigid foundation, precisely mated with an aerospace-grade steel bolt. This design ensures consistent lock-up and minimal flex. The bolt operates with smooth cycling, incorporating a robust extractor and ejector for reliable spent casing removal. The action is dimensionally optimized to facilitate repeatable sub-MOA performance when paired with quality ammunition and proficient shooter technique.
Adjustable Carbon Fiber Stock
The rifle incorporates a lightweight Springfield Armory Precision Carbon Fiber stock, presented in a Desert finish. This stock design integrates essential ergonomic adjustments, including tool-less adjustable length of pull and comb height to customize shooter interface. Multiple M-LOK attachment points are strategically placed along the forend and sides, enabling the secure mounting of bipods, accessory rails, and other utility components. The stock’s structural integrity ensures a stable shooting platform, critical for shot consistency.
Optimized Trigger System
Equipped with an adjustable TriggerTech trigger, the Waypoint allows for precise tuning of pull weight, facilitating enhanced shooter control and minimizing trigger input-induced error. This single-stage trigger provides a crisp, predictable break, essential for precision marksmanship.
Reliable Feeding Mechanism
The rifle utilizes a detachable AICS-pattern box magazine, offering a robust and reliable feeding system. This design supports rapid reloads and secure ammunition management in dynamic shooting situations. The magazine well is precision-machined to ensure consistent magazine seating and feeding.
