Proof Research Elevation 2.0 6.5 PRC 20" 3rd Midnight Camo Rifle

The Elevation 2.0 is Proof Research's hunting rifle for the shooter who wants a light rig without a custom wait. This one is chambered in 6.5 PRC with a 20 inch Sendero contour barrel that is carbon fiber wrapped, match grade and threaded at the muzzle. Carbon fiber pulls weight out of the barrel while keeping it stiff, which is what allows a hunting rifle to stay accurate as it heats up instead of walking shots after the second round.

Underneath is a Zermatt Arms Origin action with Hawkins Precision BDL bottom metal in the M5 inlet, feeding 3 rounds, and a TriggerTech trigger sets the shot. The carbon fiber stock wears a Midnight Camo finish that reads well in western country. Proof backs the rifle with a sub MOA accuracy guarantee, which is a meaningful thing to put in writing on a hunting rifle at this weight. 6.5 PRC is the reason a 20 inch barrel makes sense here: it burns its powder efficiently enough that a short tube stays fast, and the long 6.5mm bullets it throws hold up in wind better than most of what shares a shelf with it.
