Springfield Armory New 22LR Rifle

Hey guys,
I just now came across a new 22LR rifle, the Springfield Armory Model 2020 Rimfire. Price looks competitive. According the SA,"The rifle and magazine are cross compatible with Ruger® 10/22® of the same capacity." I think the Ruger rotary magazine is the best rimfire magazine around and like the fact the gun is designed to use the rotary magazine. It has a 20", heavy barrel that's threaded. Weighs 7# 7oz. MSRP for the least expensive model (black synthetic stock w/ blued barrel and action) is $434. Comes w/ a Picattiny rail. It has an "Adjustable Remington® 700 Style Trigger Group w/ Hanger System for Compatibility." It carries an "accuracy guarantee" of 3 shot, 1" group at 50 yards w/ quality, match-grade factory ammo and qualified shooter. TBH, I'm not impressed by the accuracy guarantee, but that should qualify them for a "participation trophy."
The reviews I've seen online are not very favorable. Looks to be more of a "plinker" than budget "target shooter." Bud's has the least expensive model in stock for $384. I'm always a sucker for a new 22LR. Someone please buy one of these and check it out for me so I don't have to buy it myself. 
ETA to clarify accuracy "guarantee" is at 50 yards.

@ 50yds
And the rifle seems to have issues feeding with ruger 10/22 mags.

I just got a Waypoint 2020 in 308 and it’s been incredible. I’m actually in the market for a 22lr bolt gun and was about to get the Bergara BMR carbon. I’ll have to compare the 2 now.

All new 700s come factory with Timney triggers. Is that what they’re referring to?

I’ll upgrade to Triggertech if I get one

Yes, 50 yards. Somehow left that out. Thx, I'll make the correction.

I didn't read that.

Nah, what they’re saying is that they made their own trigger but with 700 compatibility, so you can swap it out with any trigger group that fits a 700. It’s just an odd choice, there’s nothing particularly great about the 700 trigger design besides that it fits the most popular action of all time. The 10/22 has the same amount of aftermarket options, looking closer though it seems like they tried to model the action off a shrunken 700, so they probably couldn’t get a 10/22 trigger to fit.
