  4. New: Springfield Armory Model 2020 Heatseeker .308 Pistol

The new modular and adaptable Heatseeker bolt-action pistol from Springfield Armory stands ready to accept the user's choice of brace or is just a Form 1 away from being a great SBR. 

Springfield introduced its Model 2020 series bolt guns six years ago, followed shortly after by hyper-accurate Sharps Bros 1913 Heatseeker chassis-based variants. We've evaluated Heatseekers in the past and found them ready to deliver. 

Now, the newest Heatseeker in Springfield's line is a handgun variant in .308 Winchester that runs just 22.5 inches overall, with a compact 12-inch barrel.

The rear Pic rail allows easy attachment of a wide variety of aftermarket stabilizing pistol braces, or, post-Form 1, make it an easy candidate for conversion to an SBR. Feeding is via a five-round AICS magazine, with larger mags available.

"At its launch, the Model 2020 bolt-action rifle quickly established a reputation for offering custom-grade performance at a production rifle price," said Steve Kramer, VP of Marketing for Springfield Armory. "This newest pistol addition to the Model 2020 line adds an exciting new dimension to this ever-growing family of firearms."

The new Springfield Armory Model 2020 Heatseeker .308 pistol has an MSRP of $1,999.
