Springfield Armory Waypoint Tested Out to 1,000 Yards in 6.5 Creedmoor

The Armory Life tests the Springfield Armory Model 2020 Waypoint in 6.5 Creedmoor at an Arizona range, working from a 100-yard zero out to steel at 1,000 yards.

Key points

• Rifle: A 22-inch fluted stainless barrel with a 1-in-8 twist, a carbon fiber stock with a three-axis adjustable comb, and a TriggerTech trigger adjustable from 2.5 to 5 pounds. Springfield guarantees .75 MOA accuracy.
• Weight and price: 7 pounds, 15 ounces. MSRP is $2,055 for this configuration, which includes a padded case.
• Setup: An Arken EPL-4 6-24x50 scope, a Warne 7904M bipod and Hornady 140-grain ELD Match ammunition, which Hornady provided.
• Results: The author reports a sub-.75 MOA group at 100 yards, easy work at 600 and consistent hits on the 1,000-yard plate.
• The mile: He chose not to attempt 1,760 yards, citing wind and no reliable way to confirm hits.

Quick take

The author says the Waypoint is comfortable, predictable and confirmable out to 1,000 yards. On a range suited to it, he writes, he would take it to a mile without hesitation.
