TFB Review: Springfield Armory Model 2020 Boundary 7mm PRC with Carbon Fiber Barrel

For the early day-breakers among us, you will have noticed that the mornings are getting crisp and it’s getting to be “that time of year again” – hunting season. If you consider yourself a hunter or huntress, you will have noticed in the last decade how the landscape of bolt-action rifles has been evolving. While a wood stock can be gorgeous and classical, carbon fiber is all the rage. Strength, rigidity, lightweight, rad colors, you name it. Then, you tie in other modern accoutrements like a carbon fiber sleeved barrel, M-LOK attachments, and a custom action and it’s the stuff of dreams.

The Springfield Armory Model 2020 Waypoint is a phenomenal presentation of these new desired features, and I love the one I own, but what if you want something with more traditional contours? That is where the new Model 2020 Boundary might be right up your alley. A bevy of carbon fiber throughout yet you get a more streamlined profile for hunters. I deployed a Model 2020 Boundary for hunting black bear in Minnesota as well as several range sessions to see if it is worth its $2,599 asking price. Let’s see if this rifle delivers!
