Hello all, here is today's article posted on TheArmoryLife.com. It is titled “Springfield Model 2020 Boundary Review” and can be found at https://www.thearmorylife.com/springfield-model-2020-boundary-review/.
I have oversized bolt knobs on most of my rifles. It's a personal preference thing. I like the feel in my hand as it give me more grip area and most over sized knobs extend the lever a slightly which offers a bit more leverage. just my 2cI prefer traditional sporting rifles for hunting and don’t quite understand the drift toward “tactical features” on a hunting rifle. This particular rifle seems to hold to the sporting tradition while incorporating some modern upgrades that would strengthen its durability afield. That’s a plus. However, what is the reason for a 2-piece bolt? And further, I have always found that a simple smooth round bolt knob is the easiest and fastest to operate as well as being the most aesthetically pleasing. So, I don’t know what the advantages of a “pear-shaped bolt knob” would be, and I have even less understanding, or appreciation for these over-sized bolt knobs appearing on tactical rifles that look like a lug nut on an 18-wheeler. Maybe some of you folks in the tactical community could educate me? Would appreciate the added understanding.
You and me both, those evil black things scare me.don’t quite understand the drift toward “tactical features” on a hunting rifle.
