American Hunter Digital Associate Editor David Herman checks out the Springfield Model 2020 Waypoint rifle. With a carbon-fiber AG Composites stock, and the option of a carbon-fiber-wrapped fluted-steel barrel, the Model 2020 is available with most any option folks could want out of a hunting gun. The stock comes either with an adjustable cheek comb, or without it for weight savings, while a Pachmayr Decelerator pad absorbs recoil before it hits your shoulder. A TriggerTech trigger, adjustable from 2.5-5-pounds sends shots downrange, while the proprietary action is fed by a standard AICS magazine. Finally, an SA Radial Brake reduces recoil even further.
