- 7mm Rem Mag
- .270 Win

MSRP ranges from $2,173 for a non-adjustable stock and stainless steel barrel up to $2,670 for an adjustable stock and carbon-fiber barrel.
All barrel lengths are 24”, all the stocks are made from carbon fiber.
Two colors are offered, Ridgeline Camo and Evergreen Camo.
Just like the short action version, every Waypoint has a 90-degree bolt throw, Remington 700 pattern pic rail on the action, dual locking lugs, and a removable bolt knob. They also come standard with radial brakes that are removable. The barrel is threaded 5/8×24 for suppressor attachment!
Weight of the long action is roughly 8 lbs depending on caliber, barrel, and adjustable vs. non-adjustable stock. Adjustable stock, carbon-fiber barrel 7 PRC is 8 lbs 2 oz. Non-adjustable, CF barrel is 7 lbs 5 oz.
For context, the adjustable stock 6.5 Creedmoor short action version is 7 lbs 8 oz, non-adjustable, CF barrel 6.5 Creedmoor is 6 pounds, 12 oz.
“The release of the Model 2020 Waypoint marked a new era for modern bolt-action rifles from Springfield Armory,” said Steve Kramer, Vice President of Marketing for Springfield Armory. “Building on this tradition are these new long-action variants, bringing new levels of performance and power to hunters and shooters.”
Designed for the most demanding hunters, the Model 2020 Waypoint family strikes a critical balance between lightweight and rugged durability. This is achieved through the use of a premium, hand-painted, 100% carbon fiber stock by AG Composites that is hand-laid and pillar-bedded for precision and repeatability.
