About this product
The Springfield Armory 2020 Redline is a compact, lightweight bolt-action rifle chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor, designed for mobile shooters who demand precision without the bulk. This 20-inch carbon-fiber jacketed model delivers the ballistic efficiency the 6.5 Creedmoor is known for in a package that's easy to carry in the field. It represents Springfield Armory's focused execution of a modern, modular hunting and precision rifle platform.
What is the Springfield Armory 2020 Redline used for?
This rifle is engineered for the hunter or precision shooter who covers ground on foot, where every ounce matters over miles. The 6.5 Creedmoor chambering and 20-inch barrel provide exceptional external ballistics for medium to large game or mid-range target work. Its compact 40.5–41.75-inch overall length and threaded 5/8x24 muzzle make it a natural candidate for suppressor use, reducing both report and overall length further.
How does the Springfield Armory 2020 Redline compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The Springfield 2020 Redline is a superior precision instrument when compared directly to a budget-conscious option like the the Stevens 334 Rifle. The Redline's primary advantages are its heavier, floated carbon-fiber jacketed barrel for better heat dissipation and consistency, and its fully adjustable TriggerTech unit, which is leagues ahead of the Stevens' factory trigger. The Stevens 334 is a reliable, no-frills tool, but the Redline is built for repeatable, sub-MOA accuracy under field conditions.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle has a trim and travel-friendly physical profile. With its Grayboe Trekker stock, it weighs approximately 6.8 pounds (3.08 kg) unloaded, making it over a pound lighter than many comparable steel-barreled hunting rifles. Its overall length adjusts from 40.5 inches to 41.75 inches thanks to the stock's modular length-of-pull spacers, and the 20-inch barrel keeps the balance point manageable for off-hand shooting.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle is not for the traditionalist who favors classic walnut and blued steel, nor is it the tool for a purely benchrest shooter who would prefer a heavier, varmint-style barrel. If your primary use involves firing hundreds of rounds in a single sitting, a full-steel bull barrel will handle sustained heat better than the carbon-wrapped design. It's also not ideal as a first rifle for a novice, given its premium price and focus on specialized performance.
What's in the box?
The rifle ships from the factory ready for optics and includes the essentials for immediate function. You'll receive the rifle itself, mounted with the SA Radial Brake in Mil-Spec Green Cerakote. The package includes a single 3-round AICS-pattern short-action detachable magazine, the correct tool for adjusting the TriggerTech trigger's pull weight from 2.5 to 5 pounds, and the spacers for the stock. Notably, it does not include scope mounts or rings—you'll need to source those separately.
Is the Springfield Armory 2020 Redline worth it at $1615.99?
At this price point, the value proposition hinges on the necessity of its specific features. For the shooter who requires a lightweight, suppressor-ready, and highly accurate package for backcountry hunting or tactical-style matches, the Redline justifies its cost against custom builds that can easily exceed $2,500. The inclusion of the premium TriggerTech trigger and the carbon-fiber barrel are significant value-adds. However, if lightweight isn't a critical factor, you could acquire a very capable Stevens 555 Sporting shotgun and a standard rifle for a similar total investment.

Pros & cons
What works
- Weighs approximately 6.8 lbs (3.08 kg) – a 1.3 lb advantage over similarly configured steel-barreled rifles.
- Features a fully adjustable TriggerTech trigger with a 2.5–5 lb pull weight range for a precise, crisp break.
- 20-inch carbon-fiber jacketed barrel provides stiffness and heat dissipation while shaving significant weight.
- Direct 5/8x24 muzzle threads for suppressor attachment without additional machining or adapters.
Trade-offs
- Includes only one 3-round magazine; additional AICS magazines must be purchased separately for $40-70 each.
- The Grayboe stock, while lightweight, has less inherent rigidity for bench shooting compared to a chassis or laminated stock.
- The Mil-Spec Green Cerakote on the radial brake shows carbon fouling and heat discoloration more readily than a flat dark earth or black finish.

Frequently asked questions
- What is the muzzle thread pattern?
- The pattern is 5/8x24 pitch, which is the standard thread for .30 caliber and larger rifle cartridges. This allows for direct threading of most common 6.5mm and .30 caliber suppressors or muzzle devices without an adapter. It comes pre-installed with Springfield's SA Radial Brake.
- Is it compatible with all AICS short-action magazines?
- Yes, the action is designed to feed from any AICS-pattern short-action magazine. This is a significant advantage as it opens up compatibility with numerous aftermarket offerings from brands like Magpul and Accuracy International offering capacities from 3 to 10 rounds.
- How long does shipping take to an FFL?
- For in-stock items, we process and ship within 1 business day. Transit time via our contracted carrier is typically 3-5 business days to the continental US, though final delivery is contingent on your selected FFL's processing speed. We provide tracking immediately upon shipment.
- Does this have a Remington 700 footprint for optics mounts?
- Yes and no—it's specifically a Springfield Armory Model 2020 footprint. While Springfield markets it as 'patterned after the Remington 700,' the screw spacing has minor proprietary differences. You must use dedicated Springfield Armory 2020 scope bases, which are widely available from EGW, Seekins Precision, and others.
