    What’s wrong with the SA 2020 Waypoint rifle?

    I have CF barrel version in 6.5 PRC. It shoots factory 143’s into 1/2” and 147’s into one ragged 3/8” hole. Haven’t even messed with handloads yet. These are the best factory rifles I’ve ever handled.

    Anyone using N565 in 300 WSM?

    I’m going to be loading 208 ELDM’s with N565, RS Hunter and H4350/4831sc. Not your 200 gr bullet, but close. I’m comparing published data with QL to come up with 3 sets of rounds for each powder with 0.5 grain increments. I’m starting in mid-range of stated load data.

    New rifle caliber

    I had everything BUT a .30 cal. I have 28 Nos, 270 WSM, 6.5 PRC along with some smaller and some much bigger calibers. Everything I owned for elk/mulie/mountain rifles weighed 9.5# up, scoped. I found, debated and bought a pre-made OMR rifle in 300 WSM. I'm loading 200 and 212 gr ELD-X...

    What is your preference for trigger type and pull weight for long range hunting?

    I bought an Oregon Mountain Rifle and it has a Bix'n Andy trigger. Had never seen one...always used Timney or TT. This came set at 1.25# and breaks like a thin glass rod every time. I've never used a better trigger. G

    I would get in touch with Bobby Hansen of Bobby Hansen Safaris…..3 trips myself and know of many others. Great PH and great operation.

    That one was another I looked into….mostly great reviews. A buddy works for a distributor for Springfield….told me to hold off until I could put my hands on the Waypoint. His choice was Springfield, Bergara and Seekins….in that order.
