Proof Research Elevation MTR .22 ARC Bolt Action Rifle

Description

The Proof Research Elevation MTR 2.0 is built for hunters and long-range shooters who want a rifle light enough to carry over rough country without giving up the barrel quality that makes distant shots repeatable. The platform centers on a carbon fiber-wrapped barrel, which sheds heat faster than a steel tube of equivalent weight, keeping point of impact consistent across a sustained shooting session rather than walking as the barrel warms. The TFDE finish on both barrel and stock keeps the profile muted in field conditions where a bright surface would be a liability.

Chambering this rifle in .22 ARC reflects a deliberate choice for shooters who want a cartridge that extracts more velocity and energy from a compact action than legacy small-bore options. The 1-in-7 twist rate is on the faster end of the spectrum for this bore diameter, which stabilizes heavier, high-BC projectiles that .22 ARC was designed around — if you intend to run lighter varmint bullets, you may see some accuracy degradation, but for the 60-grain-and-up range where the cartridge earns its keep at distance, the twist is well matched. The 20-inch barrel gives the cartridge enough dwell time to develop meaningful velocity without pushing the rifle into an awkward handling length for backcountry carry. A threaded muzzle leaves the option open for a muzzle device of your choice. The five-round magazine capacity fits the hunting-oriented profile of the build, where a compact, legal-for-most-jurisdictions count matters more than capacity.

The camo carbon fiber stock keeps overall weight down while providing enough rigidity to support the consistent cheek weld a precision bolt gun demands. This is a purpose-built precision hunting rifle, not a range toy dressed for the field.
