PROOF RESEARCH ELEVATION 2.0 300WN MDNT 22″LH

Description

The Elevation 2.0 is Proof Research’s answer to a specific problem: building a bolt-action rifle that a serious hunter or long-range shooter can carry hard in the field without sacrificing the mechanical precision they’d expect from a bench rifle. It’s aimed at hunters and backcountry shooters who want a single platform capable of reaching out on open terrain without the weight penalty that typically accompanies that kind of accuracy.

The action is a Zermatt Arms Origin, a design built around tight tolerances and a smooth bolt cycle that rewards consistent technique. The barrel is carbon-fiber wrapped over a match-grade steel core — that construction sheds meaningful weight compared to a contoured steel barrel of equivalent stiffness, and it manages heat more predictably during a string of shots, which matters when you’re hunting at elevation and don’t have time to let a barrel cool between opportunities.

The 1-in-10 twist rate is well matched to the 300 Win Mag chambering, stabilizing the heavier projectiles — 200-grain and above — that make the cartridge useful at extended range, while still handling the 180-grain loads most hunters reach for first. The 5/8×24 threaded muzzle lets you mount a suppressor or a compatible muzzle device without an adapter. The rifle ships without sights, which assumes the buyer is mounting an optic — appropriate for the platform’s intended use. The Midnight Camo stock is a carbon-fiber chassis finish, not a painted synthetic, so it holds up in wet and abrasive conditions without flaking. Capacity is 3+1, which is standard for a magnum-length action in this class of rifle.
