Proof Research Black Granite 137833 Elev 2.0 Mtr 65Crd 22 8Tw 5/8-2 Bgr

The Proof Research Elevation MTR 2.0 in 6.5 Creedmoor is a lightweight tactical rifle built for hunters and precision shooters who refuse to compromise on accuracy or pack weight. This is a factory-complete rifle engineered around Proof's reputation for sub-MOA precision and carbon fiber innovation—meaning you're getting a rifle that's ready to hunt or train right out of the box, without the custom-build markup.

What makes the MTR 2.0 stand out is the combination of smart engineering choices that actually matter in the field. The Sendero contour carbon fiber barrel is a Proof Research design staple, known for delivering accuracy while keeping overall weight manageable for mountain hunts or long days glassing. The carbon fiber stock does the same—it shaves ounces without sacrificing rigidity or feel. Under the hood, you're getting a Zermatt Arms Origin action (one of the smoothest, most reliable bolt actions in production) paired with a TriggerTech trigger that breaks clean and predictable. The detachable box magazine system means you can reload fast or swap configurations without breaking down the rifle.

This particular build is set up as a 22-inch barrel with an 8-twist rate, threaded 5/8-24 (thread protector included), and a single-piece pinned rail for optic mounting. Length of pull runs 13⅝ inches, which works for most shooters but is worth verifying against your build if you run a larger cheek rest or comb riser. The rifle ships test-fired and carries Proof's SUB MOA accuracy guarantee—a promise they back because of how these rifles perform on the bench.

In 6.5 Creedmoor, you're looking at a cartridge that's proven itself in hunting and competition alike: accurate, wind-resistant, and effective on game from varmints to elk depending on bullet choice and distance. It's not a magnum, which means less recoil, easier shooting practice, and lower component costs than something like 6.5 PRC or .300 WM.

Frequently Asked Questions

What optics rail or mounting system does this rifle use?

The Elevation MTR 2.0 features a single-piece pinned rail that accepts standard Picatinny-pattern scope mounts and rings. This setup is proven and gives you plenty of flexibility in optic choice without proprietary mounting requirements.

Is this rifle ready to shoot out of the box?

Yes. The rifle is test-fired at the factory and ships with a thread protector on the muzzle. You'll need to add a scope and rings, and then it's ready to zero and hunt or train. No gunsmithing required.

What's the weight advantage of the carbon fiber barrel and stock?

While we don't have an exact weight spec, Proof Research's carbon fiber construction (both barrel and stock) is specifically designed to reduce overall rifle weight compared to traditional steel barrels and composite stocks. This makes it a strong choice for mountain hunting and long days in the field where ounces matter.

What ammunition does the 1:8 twist rate in 6.5 Creedmoor work best with?

The 1:8 twist is fast enough to stabilize the heavier, longer-range bullets favored in 6.5 Creedmoor (140-grain and up), making it ideal for long-range hunting and precision shooting. It will also handle lighter bullets, though faster twists are typically reserved for heavier projectiles in this caliber.
