Precision rimfire rifles that deliver consistent, shootable accuracy are rare at this price point. For shooters seeking a reliable training platform, small-game rig, or accuracy-focused plinker, attention to action design and bedding matters more than cosmetics.

SPRINGFIELD ARMORY MODEL 2020 RIMFIRE (SAGE)

The SPRINGFIELD ARMORY MODEL 2020 RIMFIRE (SAGE) stands out because it pairs a thoughtfully engineered rimfire action with a reinforced synthetic stock. The dual cocking cams in the bolt provide a smooth, reliable cycle that reduces perceived friction and improves follow-up shots—an important trait when teaching fundamentals or running drills.

Key features that matter on the range

The action is mounted in a reinforced sage synthetic stock with black webbing, giving the rifle durability and a modern ergonomic feel without excess weight. A free-floated barrel is included to maximize accuracy potential by minimizing stock-to-barrel contact. Springfield Armory guarantees the Model 2020 rimfire will shoot 1″ or less at 50 yards with quality ammunition in the hands of a qualified shooter—this places it among the best-performing rimfires for precision work in its class.

Platform compatibility and practical benefits

Magazine and rifle cross-compatibility with Ruger® 10/22® magazines of the same capacity expands aftermarket options and logistics for range shooters who already run 10/22 platforms. That interchangeability reduces costs and simplifies magazine management. At a retail price of $361.99, this model presents a strong value proposition for shooters who want proven design features without breaking the bank. View product details and pricing
