Springfield 2020 waypoint or Sig Sawtooth Magnum?

1

Good morning everyone. Jim i’ve watched your review of the waypoint 3 or 4 times now. And i finally got to handle one in person yesterday. I was pretty impressed. In your review you said for the price category it was hands down the best bang for your buck. Now that was three years ago if i recall correctly? Do you still stand by that? Or would the sawtooth magnum edge it out? Im looking at 7mm PRC by the way. I’ll be using it for hunting as well as long range target shooting.

If you want a carryable, capable hunting rifle I would go with the Waypoint, lots of value for the money, I built a custom 7 PRC and spent twice of what I would have on the Waypoint. The Sig is undoubtably a great rifle, and probably accurate rifle, but who wants to carry that around? My custome built 7 PRC is less than 10lbs ready to hunt, and with a suppressor sub half MOA. Same components (except action) as the Waypoint. Had the new Waypoint been out, I would have bought one and saved two grand. I actually may buy one in 6.5 something as the 7 PRC is just destroying whitetails. I like the meat.

ETA, I am referring specifically to the Boundry, I spent $4K to build one, they sell for about half of that.

I appreciate the input Jack. And that is good to hear about your accuracy results. The waypoint is definitely a wallet saver for whats in the package.

I’d go for the Sig. Can’t question the accuracy of that platform.

I recently bought a Springfield waypoint 2020 6.5 PRC. I love this rifle. I put an Athelon 4 x 20 scope I bought from backfire I cannot believe how accurate it is .Jim’s videos were very helpful in picking this setup I just don’t know how it could be better

Thanks Jim. I havent seen any negative reviews of the waypoint. Is there some accuracy issues im unware of with the paltform in 7PRC?

Thank you James. Im leaning that way because they are slightly cheaper not beimg brand new anymore. And about a half pouny lighter than the sawtooth. But man the sawtooth just looks sweet! And more modern action than a “semi customized” 700
