Alabama Arsenal is extremely under rated. Has the production value/content of a million+ subscriber channel.
Please tell all your friends! LOL! Really appreciate that! and thanks for watching!
Truth!
facts, just give it time
Better quality than ANY gun channel that I have seen.
I can just underline, what is written before. The way you are explaining products is fantastic. One of the best TH-cam channels! I am always looking forward, what is coming next. Phenomenal, thank you!
Wow, thank you! And thank you so much for watching!
I've seen this gorgeous rifle in person and I can't wait to get my hands on mine in 6.5 creedmore next month!
Went into the gun store to check out a Springfield Emissary (beautiful pistol) and the clerk showed one of these 2020s to me and I was astonished by the weight and features. I might be getting one of these.
Gorgeous rifle, and what brought me here was the fact that this rifle is nearly identical to the Weatherby Mark V Carbonmark Elite that I just purchased 2 months ago.
The Waypoint is seriously a beautiful bolt rifle with all the bells and whistles..
I’ll get one in .308 with the carbon barrel and adjustable stock . Awesome review fella 👍
Wow! This video was put together flawlessly! You earned a new subscriber!
Thank you for another great video. We use and reference your videos in our shop. Cant tell you how many Romeo 5's probably have been sold because of you!
LOL! Thank you for watching and glad I could help!
Very well composed video. Piano and drums. Superb combination. I will look at the rifle as well.
LOL! Appreciate that!
Too bad I can't find 6.5 PRC rounds for less than what I pay for 338 lapua...
I have found them online at Green Acres sporting goods for around $70. I have paid $120 for them and that is more than I pay for 50 BMG.
They were $1.50/round before the shortage and went up to $6.50/round during it. Other than if you're just hunting with it that's why you don't go into a caliber like 6.5prc at all unless you can you afford to stack enough ammo/reloading components to burn out at least a couple of barrels.
Is that all you do is bitch?
I love my x5 5x25. Thanks for the great videos Tim
The jokes were a great addition to famously consistently great content.
Love it dudes! Between this & a Christianson Arms MPR
Your content and production is such high quality!
Really appreciate that! Thanks for watching!
@@AlabamaArsenal of course we all appreciate the time, energy, and cost to make content!
@@AlabamaArsenal who made the 1903 Springfield? Wasn’t that a bolt action? Come on bubba, read a history book, or talk to an old serviceman...my dad was still shooting the 1903 Springfield alongside the M14 and the M1 Garand in the early 60’s
@@larryhughes4888 Double check the history, it’s a different company entirely, I assure you.
@@AlabamaArsenal it was in fact Springfield armory who made the 1903... however it was owned an operated by the government in Springfield Massachusetts. 1974 I believe is when the current Springfield armory we all know and love was established.
lolololol.. "This scope can see so far it can just about see the future" lol.. that was awesome...
Top notch production quality and content as always fellas
You really do put out first rate videos. When I bought my Scar 20s I really didn’t know how to set it up so I copied yours and love it. I have decided to keep my Waypoint as light as possible so I went with a cheap nylon sling, no Bipod and a Burris scope. The reason for the Burris scope is, well I just bought a Scar 20 and a Waypoint lol. I did want 6.5 PRC instead of 6.5 Creedmoor but the Creed is all I could find. I do have a Christensen Arms Ridgleline in 6.5 PRC. I have been paying more for 6.5 PRC than 50 BMG
good review. thx. tip for the shooter at 8:10 - he will get a lot better consistency and accuracy if he squares up straight behind the rifle and keeps his face on the gun throughout the string of fire. (not being a jerk, just trying to help)
that was my first thoughts when I saw this as well.
I waited months for this rifle. To include calling Springfield and inquiring its release dates.( multiple times....lolololol)
I must say it was worth the wait. 6.5 in CF and it definitely got some heads turned when I set it down at the range. Only have about 60 rounds thru it and for my first bolt gun, Im glad I chose this one over any others on the market.
You got yourself a great rifle! Thanks for watching!
This Springfield Waypoint 6.5 PRC Impressed Me So Much I Purchased 4 Of Them. I Also Have 4 Browning Hells Canyon In .300 PRC The Big Brother To The 6.5 PRC. Covering All My Needs Between These 2 Different PRC Calibers. I ONLY Use BANISH Or CGS Suppressors!! Great Footage. Keep It Coming.
Bro has 8 arms
@@firefly9838 No I Have 26 Firearms. These 4 Work Extremely Well Like The Rest. Reloading Is Absolutely Necessary As I Shoot 2 Times A Month With 50 Others. Can Never Have Enough Ammo. Good Luck.
Excellent review, I wish I was in the market for one. The Waypoint would be a leading contender.
Great review! Keep it up!!
Love that rifle. Looking forward to more chamberings and barrel length options
I definitely want one just in 308 . And thanks for a great day at Alabama precision ,
I mean why do you need anything more than 308? Am I right? LOL! Thanks for watching man!
Excellent work!
Dang good review , I shoot 6.5 Creed more in a new Browning Hells Canyon Max Long Range and it's pretty fine. I like this Springfield Waypoint and would make a nice edition to my Hunting L.R. builds that are versitilal for any situation. Springfield has been a go to for many different needs , with their 1911s and M1A rifles , Springfield is at the top ! Thanks for a great review Stay Strong 💪 🇺🇸😎
Springfield has been really hitting it outta the park lately
Well made video, thank you
Great review as always! Springfield used to be a company I pretty much wrote off a few years ago but now they’ve got a lot of great products and a much wider portfolio. It’s clear they’ve been listening to market demands.
They really are, and I was blown away by this offering! Thanks for watching!
Wow. Thow shalt not covet.
But there must be an exception for the waypoint and your set up.
Someday. Someday.
Great video
LOL! Appreciate you watching man!
Your videos are always improving & impressive.
The change of music from the sad stuff of the past is very welcome.
Thank you very much! Yeah we're trying some new music and I'm liking it too. Thanks for watching!
Awesome video once again guys. Simply top notch. You have the best filmed and editing of any gun channel I have viewed. I am watching the video on an iPhone 12 Pro. I noted the beginning says 720p60fps and in the middle it switched to 1080p60fps. Did you film at different resolutions or was this a TH-cam algorithm? Do you film at 4K and then resize? Thx again cheers!
Thank you very much sir for this great review. I enjoy your video
Excellent video Tim! I think I need one in 7mm RemMag with a 1:8 twist, or a 7mm-08 with a 1:8 twist... 😏
That would be cool! Thanks for watching!
Great video. I will be looking at this rifle.
This channel is impressive!
Really appreciate that man! Be sure to tell your friends! Thanks for watching!
Great video s guys keep up the good work
Really appreciate that! Thanks for watching man!
Every time I watch one of your vids, I run up my credit card. This one is no exception.
Thank YOU !
Nice Review Brother! Carry on
Thank you brother!
would love to see them expand the line into some more cartridges. then6.5 prc is really interesting though and would fit right along side may 6.5 Grendel and 6.5 swede
Excellent review.
Appreciate that ! Thanks for watching!
Excellent review thankyou! Had to laugh at some of the questions you've been asked.
Did you do 3 & 5 shot groups with this rifle, did the groups open up after 5 shots? Just curious to see if these carbon barrels perform just as Springfield Armory do.
Thank you for the video
Thanks for watching!
Fer reals!? Damn that's what I'm talking about Willis!
LOL! Thanks for watching brother!
Great video super rifle love SpringField Armory..👍🏻 💕 🇺🇸
Appreciate that! Thanks for watching!
Always a pleasure watching your reviews we have similar great tastes in fire arms I was a Ex sniper in 🇬🇧Special Forces 22nd 👍🏻 Accuracy international was my go to in my service, I just appreciate your channel 💯 %. 🇺🇸 🌎 🇬🇧
I love 🇺🇸America & a big fan of President 🇺🇸Donald J Trump
I don’t know if you check comments on older vids but after watching this and your review of the Daniel Defense Delta 5 Pro, I wanted to ask which one you gave the edge to straight out of the box? Thank you for dropping the knowledge!
Tactile and audible. Great video thanks for content gonna buy one
bro you are funny! I am laughing... You have good sense ov humor!
You can find these street value for about 1900/1800 right now. Get the fixed stock with carbon barrel. Deadly accurate. Wish they made one in 7mag.
Another masterpiece of story telling. The Q and A section was next level. Well done.
Great review! Been interested in a waypoint for a while now but cant find one in .308
They're still a little hard to find, but definitely worth looking at! Thanks for watching!
Nice been meaning to go up to that range. If you ever want to shoot a video down in mobile we have a 1000 yard range over at silvercreek range.
Might take you up on that someday! Thanks for watching!
So may nice rifles in this price range. This one, DD 5 Pro, Masterpiece arms....
There are a lot of great choices, but this is definitely a serious contender. Thanks for watching!
Cool video thanks.ps nice shooting!
Great video!! Please let us all know when this will be available in full semi auto 😂 🤦🏼
For their entry into bolt gun they crushed it... I ordered the carbon fiber 6.5 Creedmoor about a week ago and I can't wait to get my hands on it!!!
I think you'll be blown away! Thanks for watching!
There damn nice, I’ve played with some at gun shops but mines been on order since November and they still don’t have a delivery date.
Ohhhh it’s got a little pic rail on it, to make it tacticool! That’s 5,280 feet of AWESOME right there! Thanks for sharing guys!
Thank you for watching man!
6.5 PRC is the guy your girlfriend told you not to worry about!!! OMFG, that’s a great description, and what I’m using from now on!!!
I guess I’ll buy one to ad to the collection when it’s more available. Gotta grab the sig cross in 308 next.
Great video. I have a Waypoint on order but who knows when I’ll actually get to meet her. Question: what kind of tripod are you using?
10$ a round. Insane. I too am hoping it gets better.
lol'd at 6:40
Very nice video! Had to subscribe! How does Waypoint stack up against b14 hmr? I knw the way point is lighter but anything else?
Very Nice ! 🇺🇸🗽👍
Thanks for watching!
Good sh*t buddy!!!
Appreciate that! Thanks for watching!
I love it
I want to shoot at that range so bad. What a hoot.
Its a lot of fun! Thanks for watching!
Good video
Appreciate you watching brother!
Hope you saved your brass! You should spend that money on dies, powder and primers. I hardly ever get to the range much anymore but I couldn’t afford to go at all if I didn’t roll my own. Tuned rounds to your particular barrel with that gun could have you banging out single hole groups at 100 yards!
I guess now I have to compare this new rifle to the bergaras I have been looking at.
Definitely worth a look! Thanks for watching!
Never even shot a rifle and probably never will. But man, your videos are so good I watched it. Lol
LOL! really appreciate that man! And thanks for watching!
@@AlabamaArsenal After watching one of your video about sig cross 6.5 creedmoor i ended up buying 1 along with a suppressor 😁
I gotta put my hands on one
Hi, what is the make/model of the bipod mount and the tripod mount used?
Nicely produced video! One question for you: I have three Atlas bipods but none have the adjusting lever that is facing to the rear on your Atlas? Is it an aftermarket accessory; if so, where can I find one? ( I have seen one for a Harris bipod...but not for an Atlas)
Thank you so much!
I think he has an Atlas CAL (cant and lock) that has a egw pod lock that allows you to adjust the tension.
The more I watch this channel the better I like it...now if you can talk Springfield into doing 30.06 and .300 win mag Ill buy one...Damn Im tired of hearing about 6.5 anything.
lol. Im with you on that and Im done with the 6.5. Everyone and his sister thinks its the only thing your supposed to be shooting now.
Im definitely going back to 308 as it does everything I want and is easy to find.
I like the rifle every since it came out.I wish it came in a solid color maybe black or OD.
Any problems with brass shavings getting into the ejector hole and keeping the ejector from functioning?
when it comes time to barrel does it use remington or savage thread pattern?
That might be my next deer rifle In 308!
Looking into a new bolty. When they release a long action version I’m in.
I've heard this is coming out in 7Prc ...I'll be getting one if so.
I have a waypoint in .308 that I want to put a suppressor on. The BSF barrel states you can’t use more then 15ft/lbs on a muzzle device and the suppressor company wants you to use 45 ft/lbs on their muzzle device. What did you end up doing to mount yours?
Hello, thanks for this great video! In this video it appears in some footage that you are using an extended 10 round magazine with this rifle. You never touched upon that when you got to the 'accessories' portion of the video could you give us some information on that. Thanks!
Sorry about that I should have. They’re MDT 6.5PRC tuned mags from MDT. If you have a different caliber any AICS compatible magazine should work, but the tuned ones work better with the 6.5PRC. Thanks for watching!
@@AlabamaArsenal Oh no need to apologize, I really appreciate the reply. Especially for an older video. I'm impressed that you guys are still monitoring the discussion and replying to your viewers questions on a vid that's over a year old. Glad I discovered your channel, I subscribed!
I'm vary Intrested in the waypoint but I think I fall over when you said 10 bucks a round damm
I loved my bergara b14 wilderness hmr 6.5 creedmoor a good bit better than the waypoint that I shot. The bolt was hanging up with me and the groups at 100yards were not as good as my bergara. But it was definitely a nice gun, just not as nice as the hmr.
Love The internet questions Part 😂 And I’m not exactly sure but at the end of listening to your reviews all my clothes are off 🤔 but seriously love the channel 🍻
Damn!!!
I really need you to take a few of these rifles and identify which you think is best.
Right now I have 3 different guns on my list and at least 1 more suppressor based on your reviews. I have the Nomad-L in jail now.
These really are expensive videos to watch.🤣
awesome rifle !!!! have you tested this against any other other 6.5 prc rifle yet ?
To be honest this is my first and only 6.5PRC to date. Thanks for watching!
Did you have any issues with the action function? Feeding extraction, bolt drag?
Maybe I just missed it, but what kind of 6.5 PRC magazines are you using, the larger ones? Thanks!
Do you guys think its better then a ridgeline? Thinking of getting this in 6.5 prc
Are you direct thread the Hyperion? Using a shoulder ring?
Waypoint vs tikka t3s tact a1... Watched both review. Which would you get?
Is this superior to something like the bergara b14?
After watching vids on the waypoint and the desert tech srs a2 I just can’t justify spending 2x as much on the srs over the waypoint. Thing is just too good to pas sup for the price.
great video，and I do have a question，does it come with suppressor thread on the barrel or you have to customize it for specific CANs？
it comes threaded with a break installed
@@TimKollat thanks just。bought it three weeks ago
What are your thoughts on SA's history of supporting gun control in their home state of IL? As nice of a rifle as the Waypoint is (and I'm definitely not gonna tell you how I'm drooling over your setup), how does it stack up against other bolt actions you've reviewed? Such as that Bergara 300 PRC that you took out to a mile?
Also, how is the Riton scope working out? I saw another channel using it also and I'm a bit curious
Well of course I'm not fond of what happened, but I feel a lot of time has passed and I'd like to think they learned from their mistakes. I'd say that the waypoint is more in line with a premiere Bergara, meaning that its nicer than the HMR you're referencing, but it also costs more. Only you can decide based on your budget what is right for you, the HMR will definitely get the job done, but the waypoint like a Bergara premiere are a little more refined. The Riton X7 is very impressive! More to come on that one! Thanks for watching!
What do you recommend for action screw torque?
At the top of my list of wants atm. SS or carbon barrel is the debate.
Either way I’ll think you’ll be very impressed! Thanks for watching!
