Title: Springfield Armory Free Rimfire Rifle
Post by: dreadi on November 18, 2024, 06:36:38 PM: I just came into knowing about this rebate. If you buy any new Waypoint, Redline, or Boundary, you can get a free Rimfire Target rifle.

A precursory look at one of my distributors, they have 43 different UPCs (rifles) that qualify for this rebate.

That's interesting because the waypoints I've sold have had no issues. Was it only that caliber?

Interesting. I know a good handful of people that have the Waypoint rifles (not the rimfire) and they have nothing but good to say about them. I wonder how widespread that problem is or if it was just a specific timeframe the firing pins were an issue? Sweet rifles, at least if you get one with no problems.

Yeah I’m not sure? I didn’t check all the dates on the forums to see if it was all happening around the same time? I’ve read from others that they’re great rifles so hard saying.

If anyone would like to order a qualifying rifle before the end of the year, let me know.
