This document provides a comparison of three rifles: the Springfield Armory 2020 Waypoint, the Browning X-Bolt Speed LR, and the Savage 110 Ultralite. The Waypoint is a near-custom rifle with a 0.75 MOA accuracy guarantee and features a 90-degree bolt lift, adjustable trigger, and carbon fiber stock. The X-Bolt Speed LR has a smooth cycling action, adjustable trigger, and a 60-degree bolt lift. The Ultralite is a lightweight rifle with a carbon fiber barrel and adjustable stock. The document includes range data for each rifle and feedback from the testing team. The article discusses the performance of the Waypoint rifle, which is described as a semi-custom rifle that falls between a tactical and hunting rifle. The author praises the rifle for its ability to load single rounds on top of the magazine and its overall design. The article also mentions the performance of the BSF barrel, which is considered the best among the three barrels tested. The author concludes that the Waypoint is a good choice for those looking for a hybrid tactical/hunting rifle. [Extracted from the article]
