The Redline – The New Backcountry Model 2020 from Springfield Armory
Luke Cuenco 07.19.23
Dedicated backcountry hunters prioritize certain crucial aspects in their hunting rifles, namely weight, and accuracy across diverse conditions ranging from alpine conditions to remote wilderness. Addressing these priorities, Springfield Armory introduces the latest addition to their Model 2020 line – the Springfield Model 2020 Redline edition, purposefully designed for these same hunters, which come in as light as 6lbs. This new edition incorporates the fundamental features of the 2020 line while enhancing it with a range of additions, such as the Grayboe Trekker stock, a lightweight carbon fiber barrel, and an adjustable Triggertech trigger. Moreover, Springfield offers buyers of the Redline edition a special opportunity to reduce the cost of purchasing a suppressor for the rifle by providing a complimentary $200 tax stamp from Silencer Central to round out your new hunting rifle.

Below is the full list of specifications and features as presented to us from the Springfield website.
Leave no territory unexplored with the Model 2020 Redline from Springfield Armory®. Designed to deliver a lightweight, custom-grade hunting rifle the Model 2020 Redline is available in .308 and 6.5 Creedmoor. Featuring a minimalist Grayboe Trekker stock, and outfitted with a 16” or 20” carbon fiber barrel, the Redline is suppressor ready and carries a .75 MOA guarantee. Precision manufactured for performance and reliability the Model 2020 Redline is perfectly suited for backcountry hunts where days are measured in miles.
The heart of the Redline is the Model 2020 action, precision manufactured from premium materials. It features dual locking lugs on a fluted bolt that runs smoothly down EDM raceways for perfect, repeatable engagement. In addition, an optimized extraction cam provides robust, reliable operation in any condition.
Designed with backcountry hunting in mind, the Grayboe Trekker is ideal for hunts where light weight as well as unyielding performance are not goals but necessities. The uniquely shaped buttstock ensures light weight as well as rigidity and strength, and an adjustable length of pull system allows the rifle to be customized for a perfect fit.
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, providing cooling air gaps and promoting consistent point of impact during shot strings. In addition, fluting under the sleeve reduces weight and increases surface cooling area.
The trigger is the most important interface between the rifle and shooter. The Redline’s trigger from TriggerTech features a low-profile, non-snag safety and employs the company’s Frictionless Release Technology™. It’s adjustable from 2.5 – 5 pounds with a patented, free-floating roller for a crisp, clean and repeatable pull.
Under the rifle’s muzzle brake topping off both the 16” and 20” barrels is 1/2×28 pattern threading, ensuring that you can easily equip the Model 2020 Redline with a wide range of suppressors. The result is a lightweight and compact rifle ready for hunts where every ounce counts.
Due to its combination of cutting-edge design with state-of-the-art materials, the Model 2020 Redline is designed to consistently deliver the accuracy expected from a custom-grade rifle. Accordingly, Springfield Armory stands behind the rifle with a rock-solid .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.
