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.

For more on this rifle, available in 6mm Creedmoor, 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5 PRC and .308 Winchester, check out the video above, or visit springfield-armory.com. MSRP: $1,699-$2,275
