GENESEO, ILL. – Springfield Armory® is proud to announce that the Model 2020 Rimfire .22 LR bolt-action rifle has been chosen as NRA Publications’ American Rifleman 2024 Golden Bullseye Rifle of the Year.

Now in their 22nd year, the NRA Publications Golden Bullseye Awards acknowledge the finest products available in the shooting sports. The winners are selected by a committee of NRA Publications staff, representing more than a century of collective experience in the shooting and hunting industry.

“With its Model 2020 Rimfires, Springfield has proven that visual elegance and mechanical excellence in a bolt-action chambered for the beloved .22 LR cartridge doesn’t have to cost an arm and a leg,” said Brian C. Sheetz, Editor In Chief of American Rifleman. “This is why our staff selected them for the 2024 Golden Bullseye Awards ‘Rifle of the Year.’”

The Model 2020 Rimfire bolt-action rifle is offered in two primary versions — the wood-stocked Classic Model and the synthetic-stocked Target Model. The Classic is offered in four grades of Turkish walnut with a satin finish, while the Target features a reinforced polymer stock in two colors — black or sage with black webbing — modeled after the popular Model 2020 Waypoint.

Each Model 2020 Rimfire ships with a .22-caliber rotary magazine. Read more

The January 2024 NSSF-adjusted National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) figure of 1,197,294 is a decrease of 5.6 percent compared to the January 2023 NSSF-adjusted NICS figure of 1,268,236. For comparison, the unadjusted January 2024 FBI NICS figure 2,180,262 reflects a 16.6 percent decrease from the unadjusted FBI NICS figure of 2,612,736 in January 2023. January 2024 marks the 54th month in a row that has exceeded 1 million adjusted background checks in a single month.

Please note: Twenty-four states currently have at least one qualified alternative permit, which under the Brady Act allows the permit-holder, who has undergone a background check to obtain the permit, to purchase a firearm from a licensed dealer without a separate additional background check for that transfer. The number of NICS checks in these states does not include these legal transfers based on qualifying permits and NSSF does not adjust for these transfers.

The adjusted NICS data were derived by subtracting out NICS purpose code permit checks and permit rechecks used by states for CCW permit application checks as well as checks on active CCW permit databases. NSSF started subtracting permit rechecks in February 2016. Read more
