Springfield Armory Releases Model 2020 Redline Rifle

GENESEO, ILL. – New from Springfield Armory® is 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 takes the concept into the 21st century with the use of modern materials and cutting-edge design. The result is a lightweight and compact rifle ready for hunts where every ounce counts.

Designed to deliver a lightweight, custom-grade hunting rifle, the Model 2020 Redline is available chambered 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 an overall length as short as 36.5” — make the Redline an ideal host for a suppressor on your next backcountry hunt.

Further enhancing the capabilities and light weight of the Redline is the use of a unique skeletonized Grayboe Trekker stock, combining light weight with unyielding performance. With an overall weight of just 28 ounces, the stock features an adjustable length of pull system — featuring .25” adjustment increments, with a range of 13.25” to 14.25” and adjustable up to 16” with additional spacers — for customizing it for a perfect fit. 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 the radically relieved buttstock. Read more

The refreshed Merino base layer collection creates a simple, intuitive and easy-to-shop system featuring all of the properties consumers love about wool with the added value of a more durable, longer lasting ArmorSpun wool material.

BOZEMAN, MT. – Merino wool base layers have long been relied on for key features like temperature regulation, breathability and odor resistance properties, with one drawback—longevity.

The Core Merino Collection features a simple, intuitive and easy-to-shop three-tiered system that allows consumers to easily adapt their comfort level given their day-to-day needs.
