Springfield Armory added three Model 2020 Waypoint bolt-action rifles on September 1, 2026. The new configurations are chambered in .308 Win., 7mm PRC, and .300 Win. Mag. All three pair a black metal finish with Cerakote SG-100 on an AG Composites carbon-fiber stock and carry a $1,995 MSRP. This is a configuration expansion, not a new action or a replacement for the other Waypoint chamberings, camouflage stocks, carbon-wrapped barrels, and adjustable-stock models already in the line.
The stock treatment is the defining change. Springfield says the SG-100 ceramic coating goes over a bead-blasted carbon-fiber stock and produces a nonslip, rubberized texture. Cerakote calls the finish Super-Grip. The stock itself uses Springfield's hybrid profile, M-Lok slots, and QD cups. The announcement does not publish comparative grip data, abrasion results, or a weight difference attributable to the coating, so the practical benefit remains a manufacturer claim rather than an independently measured result.
The shared Waypoint hardware
All three rifles use a fluted 416 stainless-steel barrel and a stainless Model 2020 receiver, both finished in black H-164 Cerakote. The action has an integral recoil lug and EDM-cut raceways. A nitrided, fluted bolt made from 4140 tool steel uses dual cocking cams and can be taken apart without tools. Springfield also fits an adjustable TriggerTech trigger with a stated 2.5-to-5-pound range. These details put the SG-100 models on the existing steel-barrel Waypoint architecture; the coating and black presentation are the principal additions.

Each muzzle carries a removable SA Radial Brake finished in black H-164 Cerakote. Springfield says the barrel is threaded, and its Waypoint overview says a thread protector is included. Optics mount to an included Picatinny rail using a Remington 700-pattern interface with 6-48 screws. A padded hard case is also included with each rifle. Buyers comparing these models should distinguish the stock's carbon-fiber construction from the barrel: these three versions use fluted stainless barrels, not the carbon-fiber barrel option offered on several other Waypoints.
Three chamberings, two action sizes
The .308 Win. model is the short-action member of the group. It has a 20-inch barrel with a 1:10 twist, a five-round AICS-pattern magazine, an overall length of 41.5 inches, and a listed weight of 6 pounds, 15 ounces. Its SKU is BAW920308M and its UPC is 706397009090. Those dimensions make it 4.5 inches shorter and 12 ounces lighter than either magnum configuration before an optic, ammunition, sling, or other accessories are added.
The 7mm PRC version uses a 24-inch barrel with a 1:8 twist. Springfield lists it at 46 inches overall and 7 pounds, 11 ounces, with one three-round Accumag. It is SKU BAW9247PRCM, UPC 706397009113. The .300 Win. Mag. rifle shares the 24-inch barrel length, 46-inch overall length, 7-pound, 11-ounce weight, and three-round Accumag, but uses a 1:10 twist. Its identifiers are BAW924300WMM and UPC 706397009106.
Springfield's model pages specify the same $1,995 MSRP for all three, so chambering does not change the announced list price within this group. The useful differences are therefore action length, barrel length, twist rate, magazine pattern and capacity, overall length, and weight. A buyer wanting this exact SG-100 treatment currently has only these three chamberings. The broader Waypoint family still lists other cartridges and stock or barrel combinations, but the September announcement does not say that SG-100 will spread to those versions.
Guarantee and unanswered availability details
Springfield applies its .75-MOA guarantee to the three rifles, but the conditions matter. The company defines it as a three-shot group at 100 yards with quality match-grade factory ammunition in the hands of a skilled shooter. That is narrower than an unconditional promise across ammunition types or longer strings. Springfield has published product pages and directs shoppers to its dealer finder, yet neither the announcement nor those pages provides a first-shipment date, production quantity, or dealer-inventory schedule.
The next practical milestone is physical dealer availability, for which Springfield has not announced a date. Also unresolved are independent measurements of the SG-100 surface in wet, cold, or abrasive use and whether the finish will require different long-term care than the company's painted Waypoint stocks. The launch establishes the specifications, identifiers, MSRP, and guarantee, but it does not supply field-test results. Owners evaluating one can use the SKU or UPC to separate the new black SG-100 rifle from similarly priced Evergreen and Ridgeline Waypoint configurations.
