The Model 2020 Rimfire is a refined rimfire rifle that exudes the quality craftsmanship and reliable performance Springfield Armory has been known to offer.
Available in Classic wood-stocked (offering four grades of Turkish walnut sporting a satin finish) and Target synthetic-stocked versions (boasting a reinforced polymer stock modeled after the popular Model 2020 Waypoint). And, of course, the Model 2020 Rimfire comes with the accuracy guarantee and that essential family hand-me-down value.
Outperforming other rifles in its class, the Model 2020 Rimfire action features dual cocking cams for rapid and smooth cycling. The hard chrome bolt enables slick and effortless bolt throw with 60-degree lift, enhancing speed and ease of use while its Picatinny rail delivers a solid foundation for any optic.
Each Model 2020 Rimfire is shipped with Springfield’s 22-caliber rotary magazine holding 10 rounds. It’s composed from a durable polymer and feeds cartridges smoothly into the chamber. The rifle and magazine feature a cross compatibility with Ruger 10/22 pattern magazines of the same capacity. Such versatility without any compromise is an invaluable attribute to any rifle.
At 20 inches long and free-floated for its full length, the Model 2020 Rimfire premium barrel will not succumb to impact shift. The Classic Model features a sporter contour for a day afield while the Target Model is threaded for suppressors and muzzle devices.
Factory set at 4.5 pounds, the Model 700-style trigger is optimized for the 22-caliber action. The trigger is adjustable, can be fit to personal preference, delivers a crisp, clean break and accepts many aftermarket 700-pattern triggers for further customization.
This is a rifle you will want your children passing down through the generations. Look for a full review in a future issue of Sporting Classics magazine.
