The barrel under the sleeve is also fluted, which reduces weight and increases surface cooling area.

For this 7mm PRC, I am keeping it bone stock with just the addition of a Leupold VX-5HD 3-15X44 CDS-ZL2 scope. Maintaining a lightweight, sleek form while retaining extreme accuracy is of extreme importance to me when it comes to a larger-caliber hunting rifle like this.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><picture loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-53623\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/shooting-the-Springfield-Armory-Model-2020-Long-Action-Waypoint-review-rifle.jpg.webp 1400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/shooting-the-Springfield-Armory-Model-2020-Long-Action-Waypoint-review-rifle-800x533.jpg.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/shooting-the-Springfield-Armory-Model-2020-Long-Action-Waypoint-review-rifle-400x267.jpg.webp 400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/shooting-the-Springfield-Armory-Model-2020-Long-Action-Waypoint-review-rifle-768x512.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/shooting-the-Springfield-Armory-Model-2020-Long-Action-Waypoint-review-rifle-600x400.jpg.webp 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1400\" height=\"933\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/shooting-the-Springfield-Armory-Model-2020-Long-Action-Waypoint-review-rifle.jpg\" alt=\"We see Jeremy Tremp testing the accuracy and precision of the 7mm PRC chambered Springfield Model 2020 Waypoint hunting rifle.

The second is accuracy testing to figure out what this rifle prefers and if it lives up to its .75 MOA guarantee. I hit the range with three flavors of Hornady ammo: Outfitter 7mm PRC 160-gr. CX and Precision Hunter 175-gr. ELD-X, as well as 180-gr.

For my best three-shot group, I got a very tight 0.5\u201d group, and an average of 2,894 fps for all three shots. I also had a buddy shoot the 180-gr. Match bullets to verify my results, and he produced a tight 0.6\u201d group.<\/p>\n<p>This data reflected pretty much what I expected from that load. As far as the Xero data was concerned, each round I chronographed was very close to what was stated on the boxes for the Hornady ammo. I cannot overstate the value of the Xero C1 for precision shooting, especially if you are working on your own loads. The ease of use and value associated with it is undeniable.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>The shooting experience with the Model 2020 Waypoint long-action was as smooth as I expected it to be. The trigger is comfortable and consistent, which greatly aids in the accuracy of the rifle. The bolt is smooth and easily manipulated, keeping your head down on the gun for fast follow-up shots. While the version I reviewed did not have an adjustable cheek riser, that variant is available as an option.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><picture loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-53627\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/hunting-with-velocity-testing-Springfield-Waypoint-Model-2020-long-action-rifle.jpg.webp 1400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/hunting-with-velocity-testing-Springfield-Waypoint-Model-2020-long-action-rifle-800x533.jpg.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/hunting-with-velocity-testing-Springfield-Waypoint-Model-2020-long-action-rifle-400x267.jpg.webp 400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/hunting-with-velocity-testing-Springfield-Waypoint-Model-2020-long-action-rifle-768x512.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/hunting-with-velocity-testing-Springfield-Waypoint-Model-2020-long-action-rifle-600x400.jpg.webp 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1400\" height=\"933\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/hunting-with-velocity-testing-Springfield-Waypoint-Model-2020-long-action-rifle.jpg\" alt=\"In this photo we see a pair of hunters wearing camouflage clothing as they carry Springfield Waypoint long-action rifles into the field for a hunt.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/hunting-with-velocity-testing-Springfield-Waypoint-Model-2020-long-action-rifle.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/hunting-with-velocity-testing-Springfield-Waypoint-Model-2020-long-action-rifle-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/hunting-with-velocity-testing-Springfield-Waypoint-Model-2020-long-action-rifle-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/hunting-with-velocity-testing-Springfield-Waypoint-Model-2020-long-action-rifle-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/hunting-with-velocity-testing-Springfield-Waypoint-Model-2020-long-action-rifle-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\"\/>\n<\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Springfield Waypoint Model 2020 long-action rifles will be appreciated by hunters looking to use a variety of classic and modern hunting cartridges.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>If you are in the market for a big boy long-action bolt gun, you can\u2019t go wrong with the Springfield Armory Model 2020 Long-Action Waypoint line-up.
