New from Springfield Armory is the Model 2020 Redline, a lightweight, easy to maneuver bolt-action rifle with elements of the classic scout rifle. However, the new Model 2020 Redline takes the concept into the 21st century with the use of modern materials and design.
Designed to deliver a lightweight, custom-grade rifle, the Model 2020 Redline is available chambered in .308 Win. or 6.5 mm Creedmoor. Offered with a choice of 16- or 20-inch carbon-fiber-jacketed barrels, the threaded muzzle as well as the compact dimensions of the rifle—with an overall length as short as 36.5 inches—make the Redline an ideal host for a suppressor.
Further enhancing the capabilities and light weight of the Redline is the use of a unique skeletonized Grayboe Trekker stock, combining light weight with performance. With an overall weight of just 28 ounces, the stock features an adjustable length of pull system—featuring 0.25-inch adjustment increments, with a range of 13.25 to 14.25 inches and adjustable up to 16 inches with additional spacers. In addition, the stock features three sling studs (one in the rear and two in the front), as well as lightening cuts in both the fore-end and the relieved buttstock.
Also noteworthy is the integral bubble level/thumb rest located at the rear of the action. Rather than being positioned atop the scope, the location of the bubble level in the stock keeps you from having to break your cheekweld or lose your sight line through your optic.
The heart of the Redline is the Model 2020 action, manufactured from premium materials. It sports dual locking lugs on a fluted bolt that runs smoothly down EDM raceways for repeatable engagement. Plus, an optimized extraction cam provides reliable operation.
The free-floated BSF barrel of the Model 2020 Redline is jacketed in a roll-wrapped carbon-fiber sleeve and loaded under tension. This means 95 percent of the carbon fiber sleeve doesn’t contact the barrel. In addition, fluting under the sleeve reduces weight and increases surface cooling area. Topping off the threaded muzzle is a Springfield Armory Radial Brake to help minimize muzzle rise and ensure fast follow-up shots. A thread protector is also included.
The Redline features a TriggerTech trigger with a low-profile, non-snag safety. It’s adjustable from 2.5 to five pounds with a free-floating roller. And the high-quality trigger helps coax the best possible accuracy out of the rifle, which Springfield Armory gives a 0.75-MOA accuracy guarantee—for a three-shot group at 100 yards with quality match-grade factory ammunition, in the hands of a skilled shooter.
In addition, a partnership program with Silencer Central offers all purchasers of Model 2020 Redline rifles (where legally applicable) a free $200 “Tax Stamp” for acquiring a Banish 30 titanium suppressor through that company.
MSRP for all variants of the new Springfield Armory Model 2020 Redline is $2,299. Go to springfield-armory.com.
