Description
Springfield Armory is proud to introduce the Model 2020 family of bolt action hunting rifles. Precision manufactured in the USA, each Model 2020 is built to deliver the accuracy and performance expected from a custom grade rifle. The Model 2020 Waypoint features a premium carbon fiber stock and the option of a steel or carbon fibre barrel with an impressive .75 MOA accuracy guarantee.
Accuracy and performance begin with the all new Model 2020 action. Precision manufactured from premium materials, each Model 2020 action is the foundation for success and is designed to take advantage of today’s most advanced production techniques. Dual locking lugs on the fluted bolt run smoothly down EDM raceways for perfect, repeatable engagement while an optimised extraction cam provides robust, reliable extraction in any condition. Additionally, the bolt features dual cocking cams for ease of operation and tool-less disassembly for maintenance.
Offering users a custom-grade firearm for thousands less than you would expect, the Model 2020’s receiver features top-tier features and refinements. Providing strength and repeatability is an integral machined recoil lug, and electrical discharge machining (EDM) of the bolt lug raceways ensures precision dimensions and smooth cycling. An enlarged ejection port, sliding extractor — for reliable operation in the most adverse conditions — and hybrid dual-plane feed ramp deliver reliable and repeatable performance.
Springfield Armory worked with AG Composites to develop the rifle’s premium line of carbon fibre stocks. When weight matters, carbon fibre’s exceptional capabilities make it the only choice. Each stock is hand-layed, made from 100% carbon fibre and pillar bedded for perfect marriage to the action. With a weight as low as 6 lbs. 9 oz., the Waypoint and its carbon fibre stock strike the perfect balance between rock-solid strength and mobility.
The trigger is the most important interface between the rifle and shooter. The Waypoint’s trigger from TriggerTech features a low-profile, non-snag safety and employs the company’s Frictionless Release Technology. It’s adjustable from 2.5 – 5 pounds with a patented, free-floating roller for a crisp, clean and repeatable pull.
Lock time is the time it takes from the break of the trigger until the firing pin strikes the primer. The Model 2020 delivers primer strike in just 1.9 milliseconds, up to 45 percent faster than the competition. Faster lock time means less deviation from your point of aim due to movement during the shot – so when your heart is racing, so is your rifle.
The Model 2020 Waypoint is the result of years of engineering, testing and evaluation, combined with premium grade components found on rifles costing thousands of dollars more. The rifle combines cutting-edge design with state-of-the-art materials to deliver the accuracy expected from a custom grade rifle. Accordingly, Springfield Armory stands behind all Model 2020 rifles with a rock-solid .75 MOA accuracy guarantee — for a three-shot group at 100 yards with quality match-grade factory ammunition, in the hands of a skilled shooter.
The Model 2020 Waypoint features a BSF barrel jacketed in a roll-wrapped carbon fibre sleeve and loaded under tension. This means 95 percent of the carbon fibre sleeve doesn’t contact the barrel, providing cooling air gaps and promoting cold bore to warm bore repeatability. In addition, fluting under the sleeve reduces weight and increases surface cooling area. The result? Carbon fibre done the right way to deliver consistent accuracy. Each Waypoint rifle is 100% free-floated and is available with a carbon fibre or traditional fluted stainless steel barrel.
The Model 2020 Waypoint is offered in two stock configurations, two finishes and your choice of carbon fibre or stainless steel barrels in today’s best performing hunting calibres.
