    in this video we review the Springfield 2020 Rimfire Springfield's take on a Rimfire PRS or NRL22 ready rifle for production class.
    what interesting about this rifle is on paper it looks great however the execution of the design led to what's likely going to be a commercial flop for Springfield entry into the rimfire market
    please Springfield make a GEN2!
    from Springfield's website:
    The Model 2020 Rimfire family offers shooters a refined rimfire rifle with all the quality and performance you’ve come to expect from Springfield Armory. Offered in both Classic wood-stocked and Target synthetic-stocked versions, the Model 2020 Rimfire carries an impressive accuracy guarantee and the heirloom quality of a firearm you will keep in your family for generations.
    Featuring a reinforced black synthetic stock modeled after the popular Model 2020 Waypoint, the Model 2020 Rimfire Target has free floated barrel and carries an impressive accuracy guarantee. The rifle and magazine are cross compatible with Ruger® 10/22® of the same capacity and the action features dual cocking cams for smooth, reliable operation. Guaranteed to shoot 1” or less at 50 yards with quality ammunition in the hands of a qualified shooter the Model 2020 rimfire easily outperforms other rifles in its class.

    Greetings 🇨🇦
    I know this rifle has gotten a lot of beef, and I’m not the one to take other people's words until I try it for myself and make my own conclusion that's always the best way to get your own opinion on something. So I purchased the wooden stock of the model 2020 and I absolutely love it. I haven't had any issues with it. It shoots well and it feeds well with the Ruger 10/22 magazines. I suited the rifle with Vortex diamondback 4-16x44 FFP MRAD it turned out to be a great match for the rifle. Who knows, maybe I got lucky with my rifle and I didn’t end up with a lemon like most people did. I’m not denying the hate about them nor the issues that people have claimed, I'm just saying my experience was a perfect one, and I’m very happy with my rimfire model 2020 Springfield.
    FYI I love the factory trigger 4.5lbs. But I am thinking about upgrading to a TriggerTech, Remington 700 Diamond Single Stage Trigger 0.25 lbs to 2 lbs.

  • @davidleatham296
    @davidleatham296 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Here is to hoping for a V2 or one they actually claim to be a Match version. Like you said, they did lots of things right. 700 compatible trigger, stock shape, smooth action and threaded heavy barrel. Sounds like they just need a match chamber/rifling. If they can do that and price it at $500 bucks, they will have a winner.

    Good review, Springfield should have sent the barrel blanks to savage for rifling. It's a nice looking rifle and everyone wants it to be a shooter. If your looking for a wall decoration this would be nice, especially with the high end wood. My question to Springfield is how could you deliver this to the market place? If you get the issues fixed in gen 2 it will be too late to save this rifle.

    I bought the satin walnut 2020 and its been a great rifle. Im no group shooter so i cant claim a moa but i shoot at a 1.5 inch steel round target at 50ish yards. Hits eveytime. Only problem i found is it doesnt like the ruger mags, and that shitty bolt shroud had to come on off. Ive noticed most of the bad reviews are coming from the synthetic stock model.

    Every honest test has junked this rifle. I own several .22lr rifles. One of them is a Norinco EM 332, it cost me $160 and it shoots sub MOA at 50 meters. My best .22 is a CZ 457 MTR 20" sub MOA at 50 and 100 meters. The 2020 rimfire is not even suitable for plinking. I would like to see someone put a bore scope through the barrel to see what it looks like in there, especially the crown

  • @jross13450
    @jross13450 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I'm confused a bit.
    You are shooting at 50 meters and the one average you said was sub MOA at .97, wouldn't you double that since MOA is 100 yards? Or were the groups actually under .5" and you already doubled the size for 100 meters?

    • @EpikArms
      @EpikArms  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yeah you are right, so all the numbers I'm reffering to is at 50m. Also from what ive been told springfeilds claim of sub moa was meant to mean sub 1" at 50yards. But in short, if you are looking at this rifle, skip it your best options are savage mark2, tikka t1x/cz457 this is not on the list

    Definitely Savage Mk 2 for a solid budget rig. People hate on Savage but they just shoot. Mine is in a Boyds Pro Varmaint stock with an Arken SH4 gen 2. It's a sweet rig but it weighs as much as Jupiter. I want to like the CZ as I'm a CZ fanboy but the lack of an ability to add a pic rail on anything but the competition trainer really kills it for me.

      Nah, the very cheapest CZ is actually about 28% more expensive than the 2020. Im horrible at math but the plastic stock CZ street price is about $539 while the 2020 is only about $419. Not that its not worth the extra $110, but at low price points 28% more is significant. Again, that being said, I would buy the CZ also.

    DO NOT BUY THIS RIFLE! I bought the 2020 rimfire soon after it was released. 5 shot groups at 50 yrds were ranging around 2" to 1" groups. When it did shoot 1" it wasn't repeatable like other rifles. It was difficult to find ammo that it likes. Ammo used were cci, sk, eley, aguila, and norma tac. I feel there is something off with these barrels. No ammo shot consistent with the 2020. I also shoot with a CZ 457 and use to own a Ruger RPR rimfire that I shoot with over the years. The springfield 2020 is not consistent at all. What did i do? I contacted Springfield and told them what happened. I sent the gun in and they said theres nothing wrong with it. My guess is that they dont care how it shoots. And they arent stupid. They know it isnt something theyd own themselves when you have cheaper rifles out there that are more accurate. Stay away.

    • @EpikArms

    Quick note on warranties... You are going to be hard-pressed to find any manufacturer guaranteeing anything other than a 3-shot group 1moa@100yds with factory match ammo. They all either don't guarantee it or say 3-shot groups. That said, MOA guarantee doesn't matter if you aren't an MOA shooter... As a gunsmith I will say I have yet to see a new gun perform worse than the shooter. Not saying they don't exist, but generally it's the operator. Clearly you got a bad rifle. Springfield is less than impressive recently.

For this rifle to be this poor of a proformer, Someone has without a doubt ( F ) up on this project. When it's bad, it's bad. And I have enjoyed many of Springfield products for many years. I have found their products to be accurate, solid built and reliable . If there ever had been a problem I've found their customers service department to be great people to deal with as well. How ever This is three times I have heard not so much of a good review of this rifle. I've always said, if I spend my hard earned money on one of your products, then you need to make sure that product is the best it can be, for what ever price point you are saleing them at, ( period ).
