Proof Research

The Proof Research Elevation 2.0 is a lightweight hunting rifle built for shooters who demand accuracy without compromise. Chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor with a 22-inch Sendero contour barrel, this rifle combines proven long-range performance with the modern materials and engineering that serious hunters expect. Whether you're glassing from a ridge or setting up for a shot at distance, the Elevation 2.0 delivers the balance of precision, handling, and reliability that separates a workhorse rifle from just another gun in the safe.
At its foundation is a Zermatt Arms Origin action paired with a TriggerTech trigger—components chosen for their track record in precision rifles. The carbon fiber barrel is where Proof Research's reputation truly shines; it's lighter than steel while maintaining the match-grade accuracy that backing a sub-MOA guarantee demands. That same weight-conscious design runs through the carbon fiber stock, keeping the overall package nimble enough for real-world hunting without sacrificing rigidity or control.
The rifle ships in Black Granite finish and includes a single-piece pinned rail for optic mounting. The 5/8-24 threaded muzzle accepts suppressors and muzzle devices, and you'll find a thread protector in the box. The BDL-pattern bottom metal (Hawkins Precision inlet, M5 compatible) feeds reliably while maintaining the classic hinged floorplate design many hunters prefer. Length of pull is 13⅝ inches—well-suited to most shooters in standard gear.
Every rifle is test-fired before it leaves the shop and carries Proof Research's sub-MOA accuracy guarantee. The Elevation 2.0 won't be the absolute lightest or most customizable rifle on the market, but it offers genuine precision at a level that makes sense for hunters who want to spend their budget on glass and ammunition rather than custom work.
