Proof Research
The Proof Research Elevation 2.0 is a premium lightweight hunting rifle built for shooters who demand accuracy without compromise. Chambered in .65 PRC with a carbon fiber barrel featuring a 7.5-inch twist rate and threaded 5/8-24 muzzle, this rifle delivers the ballistic performance serious hunters need for long-range game. The Elevation 2.0 combines a PROOF match-grade carbon fiber–wrapped barrel, carbon fiber stock, and Zermatt Arms Origin action into a rig that's both fast to the field and fast out of the hand—ideal for alpine hunts, backcountry pack-ins, and anywhere weight matters.
What sets the Elevation 2.0 apart is the integration of proven components backed by PROOF's sub-MOA accuracy guarantee. The rifle ships test-fired and ready to shoot, with a TriggerTech trigger tuned from the factory. The Sendero contour carbon fiber barrel is PROOF's proprietary design—engineered to manage heat and maintain precision across strings of fire. Hawkins Precision BDL bottom metal (M5 inlet) feeds reliably from a hinged floorplate, while the single-piece pinned rail provides a solid foundation for your optics. A modified ball bolt knob and 13⅝-inch length of pull round out a package that handles naturally in the field.
This isn't a rifle for shooters who want trendy or flashy—it's for hunters who understand that carbon fiber, match-grade barrels, and tight tolerances translate to clean kills at distance and confidence in variable conditions. The .65 PRC chambering reflects modern long-range hunting demands, offering velocity and sectional density in a platform that won't wear you down on the pack.
