A target with a liberal boundary (7)

I believe the answer is:

abuttal

'boundary' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'a target with a liberal' is the wordplay.
'target' becomes 'butt' (synonyms).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'liberal' becomes 'l' (abbreviation).
'a'+'butt'+'a'+'l'='ABUTTAL'

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
