By now you have fell in love with it just like I did mine🙏

[@all-americanbackcountry5824]

I totally have. Such a fun gun to shoot.

Does yours have any issues feeding the first round out of the magazine if 3 are loaded?

[@all-americanbackcountry5824]

When it was new it scraped one of the cases when reloading but I haven’t seen it happen since. For me it re-chambers so smoothly I feel like I have to double check one got chambered.

@@all-americanbackcountry5824 i’ve had mine for a couple years now and shot it off the bench ( single loading it into the chamber ) all the forums talking about the feeding issues , encouraged me too check mine out yesterday ( I was disappointed ☹️) mine immediately started scratching the heck out of the cartridges as the bolt tried to pick up the first cartridge in a mag with 3 or 2 in it ( and won’t reliably chamber factory ammo ( tried 2 brands ) .. Some guys say it’s the mags in need of proper adjustment while some say the bolt flutes are so sharp that when the bolt pivots on the brass case it also causes dragging and scratching… the consensus is ( via many online testimonials) that Springfield has some of the worse customer service in the industry and that one is better off to seek help on their own dime .. At any rate I also love my waypoint as it shots factory hornady 147gr match 1/2 moa at 200yrds… but I sure wish it would feed reliably… cheers
