Description
The Springfield Model 2020 Waypoint in .300 PRC is the long-action version of the rifle that put Springfield on the bolt gun map. It's built to shoot like a custom rig without the years-long wait, and it backs that up with a .75 MOA accuracy guarantee. Chambered in the hard-hitting Hornady-designed .300 PRC, this one is made for hunters and shooters who want serious downrange energy and a flat trajectory for long pokes on big game.
The heart of it is the Model 2020 action. Dual locking lugs ride on a fluted bolt that runs through EDM-cut raceways for smooth, repeatable lockup, and the optimized extraction cam yanks brass out reliably whether it's bone dry or caked in grit. Lock time is roughly 1.9 milliseconds, which is genuinely fast and means less time for your shot to wander when your heart is pounding after a long stalk. The bolt also breaks down tool-free for cleaning, which is a nice touch in the field.
The barrel is the carbon fiber version here, which trims weight and helps the bore shed heat faster than a heavy steel profile. It's a 24-inch tube with a 1:8.5 twist, so it'll stabilize the heavy .30-caliber bullets the PRC was built to throw. It ships with a removable SA Radial Muzzle Brake to tame the magnum recoil, and the muzzle is threaded so you can run your own brake or a suppressor.
Up top you get the carbon fiber stock, hand-laid by AG Composites in the custom-painted Evergreen camo. It's pillar bedded for a solid action fit, has M-LOK slots underneath the forend, QD sling cups, and a soft recoil pad. The TriggerTech single-stage trigger is user-adjustable from about 2.5 to 5 pounds for a clean, crisp break.
This is a rifle for the hunter who covers ground and wants premium accuracy in a package light enough to carry all day. It comes with one three-round Accumag steel magazine and a padded hard case, and Springfield backs it with a lifetime warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this rifle really shoot to the .75 MOA accuracy guarantee?
Springfield backs every Model 2020 Waypoint with a .75 MOA guarantee, meaning sub-three-quarter-inch groups at 100 yards with quality match ammo. Reviewers running the .300 PRC version have reported it living up to that, with one tester impressed enough to say the gun did an outstanding job. Like any precision rig, it rewards good ammo and solid fundamentals, so find the load it likes and it'll reward you.
What's the difference between the carbon fiber barrel and the stainless steel barrel models?
This SKU is the carbon fiber barrel version, which wraps a steel core in carbon fiber to cut weight and help the barrel cool faster during a string of shots. The stainless steel barrel model is a 416 fluted steel tube that costs less but weighs a bit more. Both carry the same .75 MOA guarantee, so it really comes down to how much you value shaving ounces off your carry weight.
Is the muzzle threaded for a suppressor?
Yes. It ships with a removable SA Radial Muzzle Brake, and the muzzle threads let you swap that out for your own brake or a suppressor. Several owners have run cans on theirs, which is a smart move on a magnum like the .300 PRC for taming both recoil and concussion.
Is the .300 PRC a good choice for hunting?
Absolutely. The .300 PRC was designed by Hornady to drive heavy, high-BC .30-caliber bullets fast and flat, making it excellent for long-range hunting on elk, moose, and other big game. The 1:8.5 twist on this barrel is set up to stabilize those heavy bullets, so it's a true reach-out-and-touch-it cartridge that still hits like a freight train at distance.
What comes in the box?
You get the rifle with one three-round steel Accumag magazine, the removable SA Radial Muzzle Brake installed, and a padded hard case with adjustable interior straps and a muzzle protector. There's also a Picatinny rail on top of the receiver ready for your scope rings. Springfield covers the rifle with a lifetime warranty.
