New Big-Game Hunting Rifles

Springfield Armory Model 2020 Boundary

Springfield Armory Model 2020 Boundary

Long-action Springfield Armory Model 2020 rifles have arrived! Just released, the Model 2020 Boundary family of bolt-action rifles is so well done you’ll swear they are custom. With a refined carbon-fiber stock and a robust hinged floorplate design, the Boundary offers the sleek lines of a classic hunting rifle with premium, modern features. Built on the custom-grade Model 2020 action, the Boundary is available in long- and short-action configurations and backed by Springfield’s 0.75-MOA guarantee.

The action—fitted to a 100% carbon-fiber AG Sportsman stock with hand-painted Rogue camouflage—features dual locking lugs on a fluted bolt that runs smoothly down EDM raceways. An optimized extraction cam provides robust, reliable operation in any condition. The stock sports a 13.5-inch length of pull, along with two QD cups and a 1-inch Pachmayr Decelerator Pad for enhanced shooting comfort. The Boundary’s adjustable (2.5 to 5 pounds) TriggerTech Field trigger boasts a low-profile, non-snag safety and employs Frictionless Release Technology for a smooth pull.

The Boundary is available with either a carbon-fiber or traditional fluted stainless steel free-floated barrel. Calibers available include 7mm Rem Mag, 7mm PRC, 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5 PRC, .308 Win, .300 PRC, and .300 Win Mag.  MSRP: $2,173 (SS), $2,599 (CF).

Bergara B-14 Stoke

Bergara B-14 Stoke

The B-14 Series of Bergara rifles welcomes a new member to the already popular hunting rifle line. A good-fitting rifle is the key to overall performance and accuracy. Bergara’s engineers have designed the compact Stoke for smaller-statured shooters featuring its industry-leading 12.25-inch length of pull, plus it comes with .25-inch LOP spacers so that the rifle can “grow” with the owner. Ranking among the shortest in the bolt-action centerfire market, this achievement is the result of a comprehensive redesign that includes a shortened forend, grip refinement and the incorporation of a negative comb angle to diminish felt recoil. 

Featuring a hinged floorplate, the Stoke, depending on the caliber, gives shooters a capacity of 3+1 or 4+1. The 300 BLK, .223 Rem. and .350 Legend models are fed by AICS detachable mags (6+1). Other chamberings available include .300 Win, 6.5 Creedmoor, .243 Win, .22-250 Rem, 7mm-08, and 6.5 PRC. Overall lengths range from 35 to 38.5 inches, and weights range from 6 to 6.4 pounds. MSRP: $929.
