Looking for some feedback for those who’ve had hands on either or both of these rifles…

I’m looking to pick one up in the next 3-6 months in 6.5PRC. The main intent is for a lightweight backcountry rifle with a secondary use as a long range toy. I know the Waypoint got a lot of good publicity and attention when it dropped, but that doesn’t anlways mean anything and I’m also seeing quite a few show up on the used shelves at the local Scheels. Bergara has a solid and established reputation, so that’s ones probably the same bet and would probably be a no brainer except aesthetically I like the Waypoint better.

Can anyone offer up so insight and/or hands on experience any either of these rifles?
 
I got my teenage son a Waypoint for hunting. We took it to a long range class recently where he was able to accurately hit to 1 mile with 40+ hits on the plate over 2 days. Very impressive gun for the money
