Springfield Armory Launches New Longer-Barrel Model 2020 Heatseeker

GENESEO, ILL. (10/28/25) – Springfield Armory® is proud to announce new longer-barrel Springfield Armory® Model 2020 Heatseeker variants with 20” and 22” barrels. The Model 2020 Heatseeker — originally launched earlier this year with a 16” barrel — is a chassis-based rifle crafted for shooters who demand bolt-action precision and AR-style modularity in one uncompromising, suppressor-ready platform.

Featuring a rugged Coyote Brown Cerakote finish, the bolt-action rifles are available in .308 Win. or 6.5 Creedmoor (CM). The .308 Win. version is a 20” model, while the 6.5 CM versions are offered in either 20” or 22” models.

All Heatseekers feature a Sharps Bros. Heatseeker chassis machined from a solid block of 6061-T6 billet aluminum for strength without bulk. The chassis weighs a mere 1 lb., 3 oz., and includes a 14" free-float handguard that weighs just 10 oz. M-Lok slots are located on all four sides of the handguard, with dual QD sling mounts on each side.

In addition, the chassis is designed with AR-style features for maximum modularity. It’s outfitted with a buffer tube extension for mounting AR-pattern stocks and is designed to accept AR-pattern pistol grips. The Model 2020 Heatseeker comes outfitted with a B5 Systems Collapsible Precision Stock (CPS) that is adjustable for both length of pull and cheek height. It also comes with a matching CPS adjustable cheek piece. A B5 Systems P-Grip 23 is also included.

Underpinning the Model 2020 Heatseeker rifles is Springfield’s custom-grade Model 2020 stainless steel action. It features dual locking lugs, a fluted bolt and EDM raceways. Mated to the action are free-floated, carbon fiber-wrapped barrels with muzzles threaded 5/8x24 and featuring thread-protector muzzle caps.

A TriggerTech Field Trigger, adjustable for a pull weight from 2.5-5 lbs., and a metal five-round AICS-pattern magazine round out the package. The result is a family of rifles featuring an impressive .75 MOA accuracy guarantee, making them ideal for demanding and serious shooters. 

“The 16” Model 2020 Heatseeker bolt-action rifle’s combination of compact dimensions with modular adaptability and uncompromising performance made it an instantaneous hit,” said Steve Kramer, Vice President of Marketing for Springfield Armory. “These new Model 2020 Heatseekers add a new dimension to the line, extending the design’s already capable performance envelope even farther.”

With MSRP’s of $2,355, these new Model 2020 Heatseekers stand ready to deliver on the hunt or at the range.
