Proof Research Elevation 2.0 Mtr 338Arc 16.5 Tfde

The Proof Research Elevation 2.0 MTR in .338 ARC is a lightweight tactical rifle engineered for shooters who refuse to compromise between precision, portability, and value. Built on a Zermatt Arms Origin action paired with Proof's proprietary carbon fiber barrel technology, this 16.5-inch rifle delivers sub-MOA accuracy from a package that weighs just over 6.5 pounds—ideal for mountain hunting, long-range competition, or anyone who's tired of lugging a heavy gun to the field. The .338 ARC cartridge punches above its weight class for medium-to-long-range work, and the compact Sendero contour barrel doesn't sacrifice velocity or ballistics despite the short length.

What sets this rifle apart is its thoughtful engineering: a PROOF carbon fiber stock keeps weight low without gimmicks, a TriggerTech trigger breaks clean and predictable, and the detachable box magazine system gives you flexibility in the field. The single-piece pinned rail is combat-proven, and the muzzle is already threaded (5/8-24) with a protector included, so you can suppress or brake it to suit your mission. Everything ships test-fired and backed by PROOF's SUB MOA accuracy guarantee—you get a rifle that's ready to work, not a project that needs tuning.

The 13 5/8-inch length of pull and modified ball bolt knob are designed for real-world handling, whether you're shooting from a backpack in alpine terrain or from a bench at distance. The Tan/FDE stock color blends into most hunting environments and won't stand out in a range bag. This is a rifle for the shooter who knows that "lightweight" and "accurate" aren't mutually exclusive—and who values a gun that performs over one that looks like it should.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's included with the Elevation 2.0 MTR, and do I need to buy anything else to shoot it?

The rifle ships with a thread protector on the muzzle and is ready to mount an optic on the single-piece pinned rail. You'll need to add a scope or other optic, ammunition, and a magazine (the DBM system uses standard detachable boxes; check PROOF's compatibility list for your preferred magazine). Everything is test-fired at the factory, so it's ready to shoot out of the box.

Is the .338 ARC good for hunting, and how does it compare to other calibers?

The .338 ARC is a modern, efficient cartridge designed for medium-to-long-range performance. We carry ammunition and can advise on ballistics for your intended game, but we don't have performance comparisons in our system—talk to the team at the counter for caliber recommendations based on your hunt.

Can I suppress or muzzle-brake this rifle?

Yes. The muzzle is threaded 5/8-24, which is a common standard. The thread protector is included, but you'll need to source a suppressor or brake separately. Make sure your choice is legal in your area and appropriate for .338 ARC.

How much does the Elevation 2.0 MTR weigh, and is it really lightweight for a tactical rifle?

The rifle weighs between 6 lbs 7 oz and 7 lbs 2 oz depending on magazine configuration. That's genuinely light for a full-power rifle thanks to the carbon fiber barrel and stock, making it ideal for mountain hunting or extended carry in the field.
