Proof Research Elevation MTR 2.0 6.5 PRC 22″ Carbon Fiber Rifle
The Proof Research Elevation MTR 2.0 6.5 PRC 22″ carbon fiber rifle is a factory-built precision bolt gun that splits the difference between a lightweight mountain rifle and a match-ready tack driver. It pairs a carbon-fiber-wrapped Sendero-contour barrel with a Zermatt Arms Origin action and a TriggerTech trigger, all in a fixed Black Granite carbon fiber stock. This is a ready-to-hunt, ready-to-compete platform backed by a sub-MOA accuracy guarantee from Proof Research.

Key Features
- Carbon Fiber-Wrapped Sendero-Contour Barrel — WHY IT MATTERS: This barrel profile keeps weight down without sacrificing stiffness, so you can carry it all day in the backcountry and still ring steel at 800 yards.
- Zermatt Arms Origin Action — WHY IT MATTERS: It’s a proven, smooth-running action with a floating bolt head that gives you consistent ignition and easy follow-up shots, whether you’re on a cold bore or a hot barrel.
- TriggerTech Trigger — WHY IT MATTERS: Adjustable from 1.5 to 3.5 pounds with zero creep, this trigger lets you break clean shots without pulling the crosshairs off target — critical for precision work.
- Fixed Black Granite Carbon Fiber Stock — WHY IT MATTERS: It’s rigid enough for a bipod and bag, but contoured to fit a pack frame. No hinge, no rattle — just a solid platform that tracks with your natural point of aim.
- Sub-MOA Accuracy Guarantee — WHY IT MATTERS: Proof Research test-fires every rifle and guarantees it will shoot under one minute of angle. That’s not a marketing line — it’s a promise backed by a 22″ match-grade barrel.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the hunter who wants a single rig for elk season and local PRS matches. It’s also for the shooter who values a light, packable build but won’t compromise on precision. If you’re running a 6.5 PRC for its flat trajectory and retained energy at distance, this platform gives you that edge in a package that won’t weigh you down.
Pros / Cons
- Pros: Lightweight at roughly 6.5 pounds, sub-MOA guarantee from the factory, smooth Zermatt action, TriggerTech trigger is crisp out of the box, threaded barrel for suppressor use.
- Cons: The fixed stock limits adjustment for length of pull and cheek height — you may need a custom fit if you’re outside average dimensions. Also, the 6.5 PRC ammo can be harder to find and pricier than 6.5 Creedmoor, so stock up early.

FAQ
Is the Proof Research Elevation MTR 2.0 available in left-hand configuration?
As of the current production run, this rifle is offered only in right-hand configuration, as shown. Left-handed shooters may need to look at custom builds or other models from Proof Research.
What is the barrel twist rate on the 6.5 PRC model?
Proof Research specs a 1:8 twist rate for the 6.5 PRC chambering. This stabilizes heavy-for-caliber bullets like the 147-grain ELD-M and 156-grain Berger EOL, which is ideal for long-range hunting and match use.
Does the rifle accept aftermarket triggers or stocks?
The TriggerTech trigger is user-adjustable and can be swapped for other drop-in triggers compatible with the Zermatt Arms Origin action. The fixed stock is not easily changed without significant gunsmithing, but the chassis itself is rigid and well-suited for precision work.
What is the magazine capacity of the detachable box magazine?
The factory detachable box magazine holds 3 rounds of 6.5 PRC. It’s a steel, single-stack design that feeds reliably and is compatible with AICS-pattern bottom metal.
