I’m liking the looks of the SA 2020 Waypoint, the Tikka T3xUPR and the Sako S20 hunter in 308.

Use would be mostly on the range at some further distance if I can find a place. My normal range is only 100 yards.

SA is 1:10 twist. Tikka and Sako are 1:11.

What are everyone’s thoughts and experiences with these three?

I wouldn’t let the twist sway you. 1:11 will be just fine.

Personally, I’d go Tikka.

Personally i think you would be better off with a tikka lite and buy an aftermarket stock of your choosing. The waypoints do look like a very well made rifle though iv only handled one and not used one

The Aero Precision Solus is at least worth consideration. The Aero rifles I've seen shot very well. Conversely, I don't know if sa puts match grade barrels on waypoint rifles or not. If most of your time is spent at a range and you want to hunt with it occasionally a little bit heavier rifle will be easier to shoot well. But get what you like and shoot the barrel out if you can. That's highly unlikely with the 308.
