GENESEO, ILL. (05/20/25) – Springfield Armory® is proud to announce the new Springfield Armory® Model 2020 Heatseeker, a compact 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 rifle — offered in .308 Win. or 6.5 Creedmoor (CM) — features 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. It includes a 14" free-float handguard that weighs just 10 oz., with M-Lok on all four sides and 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.
The foundation for the Model 2020 Heatseeker is Springfield’s custom-grade Model 2020 stainless steel action. This action features dual locking lugs, a fluted bolt and EDM raceways. Mated to that action is a free-floated 16” BSF barrel jacketed in a roll-wrapped carbon fiber sleeve and loaded under tension. The muzzle is threaded 5/8x24 to accept the suppressor or muzzle device of your choice, and features a thread-protector muzzle cap.

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 rifle with an impressive .75 MOA accuracy guarantee, making it ideal for demanding and serious shooters. “The Model 2020 line of bolt-action rifles has established a solid reputation for uncompromising performance and quality,” said Steve Kramer, Vice President of Marketing for Springfield Armory. “This new Model 2020 Heatseeker adds a new dimension to the line, one that is as equally at home in the field as it is on the range.” With an MSRP of $2,355, the Model 2020 Heatseeker stands ready to deliver on the hunt or at the range.
