 Hey there friends, thanks for checking in today. We're looking at a new release rifle from Springfield Armory called the 2020 red line It's in 308 and another model is available in 6.5 Creedmoor I went with the 308 with the 16 inch barrel 20 inch barrels are also available in each The models 308 and 6.5 Creedmoor. It is very light six pounds without the Bipod or the optic and so if you're the type of hunter that's going to park and walk a distance to your blind or wherever It is you're going you're going to like the features that this offers and you're gonna like the weight savings that This offers now the optic that I have here is a Bushnell 4,500 elite It's a two and a half by ten Magnification with a 40 millimeter lens. I think this setup is Amazing and I already took it to the range put a lot around through it The optic rifle bipod combination was excellent Let's start at 125 yards that will move back from there Holes right on top of each other If I'm not mistaken those were holes right on top of each other. That was nice 125 yards, let's take a closer look at the 2020 red line 308 rifle As I mentioned this is available with a 16 inch or a 20 inch barrel This is a 16 inch barrel the idea here is to maximize the weight savings Making it easier to tow it around now the stock is called gray bow trekker You can see it's olive with some black wedding throughout and The buttstock is hollow all right once again saving weight the Recall pad is pretty squishy. You may notice there are two spacers there other spacers are available You could adjust the length of pull quite a bit with this The receiver is green like an olive drab green. I think it looks cool The 16 inch barrel is Threaded it has a SA radial brake which disperses the gases even though it's lightweight It doesn't jump around too much. I was able to control it quite well without having to decrease the intensity of my Magnification with the optic the barrel itself is free-floating and It has this carbon fiber roll wrapped sleeve throughout it makes no contact with the barrel at all So it that also keeps the weight down. This is so light I can hold it right up to my shoulder shoot into this berm and Charge it while on my shoulder It has three sling mounts Right there. They're studs this one here. I attached the Harris bipod I picked this up at Cabela's believe it or not on the way up here a Harris bipod I like it. I like Harris bipods. I went with this And so that attaches there then you could run a sling with that stud mount and The one in the rear of the stock the action is based off a Remington 700 So there is plenty of aftermarket support. You can see the bolt itself is Fluted it has dual locking lugs and the bolt handle rotates down to 90 degrees The knob can be removed. I don't know why anybody would want to do that, but They they could if they choose but it has a level right there So when you mount the optic you can make sure it squares up just the way you want it So there are no surprises at the ring action very smooth I like the way that operates a couple times at the range. I tried to bring it down a little too soon But you can see that It operates just as it should the magazine releases right there on the bottom of the trigger guard All you do is hit that the magazine comes out. It's the three-round magazine For 308. It's an MDT magazine And just throw it up there. You have three rounds available. It has a non-snag thumb safety right there So when the safety is forward it is fire and then Back here is safe eight inch hand side a little bit high Okay Ten inch With the exception of the optic and the bipod this rifle weighs six pounds out of the case That is that's extremely light especially for a heavy load like 308 Winchester The trigger mechanism is a trigger-tack trigger. We'll take a closer look there move the Safety forward this adjusts from two and a half to five pounds just like that Very light trigger out of the case very light The Bushnell Elite 4500 did exactly what I needed it to do I stretched out to 300 yards and I realized that the capacity with the 308 is much further than that However, it gives you that more Magnification when you want it even at the 300 to stretch out further than a three to nine Magnification this will get it done the MSRP on this is only 300 bucks and I I'm very happy with it I felt that I had complete control of the rifle and the optic choice was very nice where I'm at in Michigan Any hunting purposes will keep you closer to 50 to 100 yards and I felt I felt great with this Ready yeah Right at the top of the plate that time center windage That's good hit. I can't tell so that's the new 2020 red line by Springfield Armory Let me know if you like it see the way it looks with that composite stock It has a definitely different look to it a different feel to it You actually have to feel it to get a true sense of how light it actually is but it's also a shooter and That SA radio muzzle brake certainly helped cut down on the recoil even by holding it up to your shoulder It really isn't that bad. So I'm curious to know your thoughts. Would you go through eight six point five creed more? Would you go with the 16 inch barrel 20 inch barrel?
