I got rid of the rifle. My patience for inaccurate rifles that go click when they're supposed to go boom wore off. I have a Seekins Havak Element in 6.5 PRC now and I couldn't be happier with the rifle and build quality...

Hey, look! It's an internet troll!

I think you're missing the point. When the rifle fails because of a broken firing pin when you're on the side of a mountain, that is certainly a "sudden and total failure from which recovery is impossible." Not going to spend more of my time with this semantics debate. Point is, firing pin...

I certainly have had really bad luck with SA. Most waypoint owners dont have a single issue with their rifle's. But, I had more interaction than I care to have had with SA's customer service dept., and still ended up disappointed. So much bad luck with one manufacturer probably speaks to the...

Glad we're arguing about the meaning of the word catastrophic in the context of me using it once in a write-up... If the firing pin of my EDC gun broke when I needed it for self-defense, I'd call it catastrophic. If the firing pin broke on my hunting rifle after I'd spent time and money to get...

Regardless if SA makes the firing pin in-house, they sell the firing pin as a part of their rifle. They are responsible for its failure by way of failing to test the latest batch of firing pins before they leave the factory in their rifles. This isn't a scenario where a couple of barrels worth...

You came here to see an "abject failure." A rifle with a broken firing pin and a blown-up rifle are equally useful when you are days of hiking into the backcountry and see an animal you have tags for. I titled the thread "abject failure," and that's exactly what a busted-off firing pin is. If...

I wouldn't be surprised if it happens again. After getting my refund, I picked up a Seekins Havak Element in 6.5 PRC. I should have done this from the start as the build quality is in an entirely different league from the waypoint. That and I don't have to worry that it will go click instead of...

Hi all, Anyone have experience with either the Bushnell LMSS2 or the Horus HoVR spotting scope? They have very similar specs and I am having a hard time picking between the two.

I documented every step of the process in real time via the threads I linked to. If someone was looking at a waypoint and researching via the forums, they would have come across my threads. I agree, companies should be called out for sending out turds. I played nice and went through their...

Hi all, I've posted about this rifle before on here, but wanted to put together a story for anyone interested in this rifle. Here's the link to the original thread and the more exhaustive one on long range hunting. The TLDR version is this: do NOT buy this rifle. It does not perform as...

A little update. This did not perform nearly as well as I had hoped out to distance. Used a bulletseeker for the data. String 1: ES = 45.7 fps; SD = 17.4 fps 2558.6 fps 2567.7 fps 2552.0 fps 2562.1 fps 2535.8 fps String 2: ES = 76.5 fps; SD = 29.6 fps 2614.4 fps 2598.7 fps 2596.0 fps 2551.2...

Runs 1/4-1/3MOA in my Larue tOBR. 150-200 rounds and no hiccups.

Selling my 6.5cm Waypoint 2020 with the carbon fiber barrel. I initially had issues with accuracy on this rifle and had to send it back to Springfield. They replaced the barrel and sent it back to me. Its 1/2 MOA with factory ammo all day now! The picture attached is the one Springfield sent...

I believe you asked this on Longrangehunting . 170826.

Nope, no reason given. They just sent me back a rifle that works. Here's the test group that came back with the rifle. Here are a couple groups I shot when the rifle was somewhat cool. Same ammo as the original thread btw! I'll probably end up selling the rifle anyways because the groups...

Mine came back shooting great after their barrel replacement. The same Norma 143gr was shooting 1.5 to 2.5 MOA before. It came back shooting one ragged hole groups with the same ammo. My only gripe is that they took 6 weeks to fix it. That and the groups open up to around 1ish MOA when the...
