Springfield Armory took the hunting world by storm a few years back with the introduction of its first hunting rifle: the Model 2020. Since then, Springfield has continued to innovate this new-for-Springfield bolt-action rifle. The latest exciting iteration is called the Boundary. These classic big-game rifles are expertly crafted in Geneseo, Illinois, delivering unrivaled precision and quality.

The Boundary boasts a modern carbon-fiber stock with the the sleek lines of a classic hunting rifle for a combination of classic and traditional styling ... but with the advantages of modern materials and performance innovations. It was engineered from the ground up to deliver the accuracy expected from a custom-grade rifle, hunt after hunt. Naturally, Springfield Armory guarantees .75 MOA accuracy guarantee — for a three-shot group at 100 yards with quality match-grade factory ammunition, in the hands of a skilled shooter.

The heart of the Boundary is the Model 2020 action, precision manufactured from premium materials. It features dual locking lugs on a fluted bolt that runs smoothly down EDM raceways for perfect, repeatable engagement. In addition, the Boundary’s TriggerTech Field trigger — adjustable from 2.5 to 5 lbs.— boasts a low-profile, non-snag safety and uses what Springfield refers to as "Frictionless Release Technology" for a smooth pull.

The Boundary is available with either a BSF carbon fiber or a traditional fluted stainless steel barrel. The BSF barrel of the Model 2020 Boundary is jacketed in a roll-wrapped carbon fiber sleeve and loaded under tension, meaning 95 percent of the carbon fiber sleeve doesn’t contact the barrel. The rifle — offered in short- and long-action configurations — is available in .308, 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5 PRC, .300 PRC, .300 Win. Mag., 7mm Rem. Mag. or 7mm PRC.

Additionally, purchasers of a Boundary rifle can take advantage of the “Gear Up with the Model 2020” program. Any Boundary purchased between now and December 31st, 2024, will entitle the owner to receive a free Model 2020 Rimfire Target Rifle (BART92022B), a $434 value. MSRP ranges from $2,173 to $2,599, depending upon model chosen. Springfield-Armory.com
