First Look: Springfield 2020 Boundary Rifles
Springfield is expanding the Model 2020 rifle line with the Boundary, featuring carbon fiber stocks and a sub-MOA accuracy guarantee.
The Springfield Model 2020 series of rifles has so far included the Waypoint, the Redline and the Rimfire, but the company has just announced the latest addition to the lineup in the form of the Boundary. Compared to the Redline or the Waypoint models, the 2020 Boundary trends towards the look and layout of more traditional hunting rifles while still retaining some excellent modern features.
The Model 2020 Boundary features an AG Sportsman carbon fiber stock with a sleek, classic hunting rifle profile and a hand-painted Rogue camouflage pattern. The stock also sports QD sling cups and a Pachmayr decelerator pad. The one-piece hinged floorplate bottom metal is compatible with Remington 700-pattern receivers, and its design allows for a single setup to be used for all short-action-caliber Boundary rifles. For the long-action 2020 Boundary rifles, the use of different follower lengths and spacers allows the same bottom metal to be used for both PRC and non-PRC calibers. Available chambering options at launch include .308 Win., 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5 PRC, .300 PRC, .300 Win. Mag., 7mm Rem. Mag. and 7mm PRC. The capacity of the internal magazine varies by chambering.
Besides the choice of caliber, each 2020 Boundary is also available with two barrel options—traditional fluted stainless steel or BSF carbon fiber. Other features worth mentioning include the rifles’ threaded muzzles with SA Radial brakes, their TriggerTech adjustable triggers and Springfield’s 0.75-MOA accuracy guarantee (measured by a three-shot group at 100 yards using quality match-grade factory ammunition in the hands of a skilled shooter).
Steve Kramer, Vice President of Marketing for Springfield Armory, said this about the new rifles:
The Model 2020 family of rifles has established itself as a pre-eminent option for the serious hunter who demands the best … With the addition of the Boundary to the Model 2020 line, hunters have a new option that combines the appeal of a traditionally configured hunting rifle with the benefits of cutting-edge performance.
Springfield Model 2020 Boundary rifles are available now and the MSRP ranges from $2,173 to $2,599.
