Proof Elevation MTR 2.0 Rifle 7 Backcountry 5rd Magazine 20" Threaded Barrel Carbon Fiber Black Granite Stock
Proof Research
The Proof Elevation MTR 2.0 is a lightweight mountain rifle built for hunters and precision shooters who refuse to compromise between pack weight and accuracy. This 7mm Backcountry model pairs a 20" threaded barrel with a carbon fiber stock and Zermatt Arms Origin action—a serious bolt gun designed for alpine hunts, backcountry missions, and long-range field shooting where every ounce matters. Proof Research engineered this rifle to deliver sub-MOA accuracy out of the box, backed by their accuracy guarantee, so you can focus on the shot instead of the gear.
The Elevation MTR 2.0 centers on Proof's proprietary carbon fiber-wrapped, match-grade barrel in a Sendero contour—a profile that keeps you light in the mountains without sacrificing rigidity or thermal stability. The carbon fiber stock, paired with a single-piece pinned rail base, minimizes weight while maintaining the stiffness modern precision shooting demands. At 6 lbs 7 oz to 7 lbs 2 oz depending on configuration, this is a rifle that won't punish you on day three of a high-country pack-in.
The action comes from Zermatt Arms, a maker known for smooth, reliable bolt guns. A TriggerTech trigger manages the break, and the detachable box magazine (5-round capacity) makes field reloads practical without the bulk of a magazine well. The 20" barrel sports 5/8-24 threading for suppressors or muzzle devices, and includes a thread protector. Length of pull measures 13 5/8 inches, and the modified ball bolt knob is clean and utilitarian. Every gun ships test-fired—Proof validates that sub-MOA guarantee on actual ammunition before it ships.
This is the rifle for the hunter who thinks in terms of altitude, distance, and whether the pack will fit in the truck. It's not entry-level pricing, but it's also not custom-shop money—Proof built the MTR 2.0 to deliver precision rifle credibility without the 12-week lead time.
