Springfield Armory Model 2020 Redline Rifle: First Look

Springfield's Redline is the latest addition to their Model 2020 family of rifles, with a lightweight design ideal for hunting in the backcountry.

Springfield Armory have unveiled the Model 2020 Redline, a lightweight and easy to maneuver bolt-action rifle. Embracing attributes of the classic scout rifle, the new Model 2020 Redline realizes the concept with the use of modern materials and design. The result is a lightweight and compact rifle ready for hunts where weight is a major factor.

A unique skeletonized Grayboe Trekker stock has been implemented to cut down on weight without impacting the durability of the rifle. With an overall weight of just 28 ounces, the stock features an adjustable length of pull system featuring .25-inch adjustment increments, with a range of 13.25-14.25 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 forend and buttstock.

“The Model 2020 Waypoint set the standard for precision manufacturing, performance and accuracy from a premium, American-made rifle,” said Steve Kramer, Vice President of Marketing for Springfield Amory. “The new Model 2020 Redline continues that tradition by offering backcountry hunters a rifle perfectly suited to their demanding needs.”

The Model 2020 Redline will be initially available in .308 or 6.5 Creedmoor. Offered with a choice of 16” or 20” carbon fiber-jacketed barrels, the threaded muzzle as well as the compact dimensions of the rifle — with a minimum overall length of 36.5 inches.

Also of note is the fact the stock features an 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 allows shooters to maintain their cheekweld and maintain a sight line through the optic without their eye leaving the reticle.

Springfield notes that heart of the Redline is the Model 2020 action. It features dual locking lugs on a fluted bolt that runs smoothly down EDM raceways for better engagement. In addition, an optimized extraction cam aims to let the action be run repeatedly without issue.

The free-floated BSF barrel of the Model 2020 Redline is jacketed in a roll-wrapped carbon fiber sleeve and loaded under tension. In addition, fluting under the sleeve reduces weight and increases surface cooling area. Topping off the threaded muzzle is an SA 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 and adjustable from 2.5 – 5 lbs. Springfield Armory guarantees a .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 suppressor through that company. 

MSRP of all variants of the Redline is $2,299.
