The carbon fiber barrel and stock are impervious to typical environmental fluctuations that can affect traditional steel and wood components, ensuring consistent performance regardless of the weather.
• Extended Range Precision: With a match-grade barrel and the potent 6.5 PRC cartridge, this rifle is designed for ethical long-range engagements. It provides the confidence needed to make difficult shots when opportunities arise, whether on a distant elk or a challenging target.
• Superior Ergonomics for Field Use: The rifle's design prioritus comfort and usability in a field setting, from its comfortable Length of Pull to its efficient recoil management, allowing for quicker follow-up shots and reduced shooter fatigue.

Unpacking Key Features: The Core of Proof Research Excellence

At the heart of the Elevation MTR's superior performance are its meticulously selected and expertly integrated components. Each element plays a crucial role in delivering the rifle's renowned accuracy, durability, and user experience.

The Revolutionary PROOF Carbon Fiber Barrel

The most distinctive feature of the Proof Research Elevation MTR is its 24-inch Carbon Fiber Match Grade Carbon Fiber Barrel. This isn't just any carbon fiber barrel; it features PROOF Research's patented carbon fiber-wrapping technology.

Why is PROOF's carbon fiber barrel technology so significant?

• Exceptional Weight Reduction: By wrapping a lightweight steel core in high-strength carbon fiber, PROOF achieves a barrel that is significantly lighter than an all-steel counterpart of the same contour and length. This is paramount for a mountain rifle, where every ounce matters.
• Enhanced Stiffness and Accuracy: The carbon fiber wrap adds an incredible amount of stiffness to the barrel, which is crucial for maintaining accuracy during rapid fire or extended shooting sessions. A stiffer barrel vibrates less, leading to tighter groups.
• Superior Heat Dissipation: Carbon fiber is an excellent thermal insulator. However, PROOF's unique process allows for rapid heat dissipation away from the bore, preventing heat buildup that can cause "walking" groups and maintaining cold bore shot consistency over longer strings of fire. This means your first shot, and every subsequent shot, will be precisely where you aim.
• Durability and Longevity: The carbon fiber composite provides an additional layer of protection to the stainless steel core, making the barrel more resistant to dings, scratches, and environmental corrosion. This translates to a longer service life and consistent performance over thousands of rounds.
• Match Grade Precision: Despite its lightweight nature, this barrel is "match grade," meaning it's manufactured to the highest tolerances to ensure exceptional accuracy suitable for competitive shooting and demanding hunting scenarios. The 1:7.50" twist rate is optimally chosen to stabilize a wide range of popular 6.5mm projectiles, particularly the heavier, high-BC bullets favored in 6.5 PRC. The barrel is also threaded 5/8"x24, ready for a muzzle brake or suppressor, further enhancing shooting comfort and versatility.

The Zermatt Arms Origin Action: A Foundation of Reliability

The Elevation MTR features the highly regarded Zermatt Arms Origin Action. Known for its robust construction and smooth operation, the Origin action is a favorite among custom rifle builders and serious shooters.

What makes the Zermatt Arms Origin action a premium choice?

• Exceptional Smoothness: The bolt cycles with remarkable fluidity, allowing for quick and seamless follow-up shots. This is critical in hunting scenarios where a fast second shot might be necessary.
• Robust and Reliable Design: Machined from high-quality steel, the Origin action is built to withstand extreme pressures and repeated use, ensuring long-term reliability in any condition.
• Precision Machining: Tight tolerances and superior machining ensure consistent lockup and precise cartridge feeding, contributing directly to the rifle's inherent accuracy.
• User-Friendly Features: Designed with shooters in mind, it often features an integral recoil lug and a Remington 700 footprint, making it compatible with a vast array of aftermarket stocks and components for future customization, although the PROOF stock is already superb.

The TriggerTech Trigger: Uncompromised Break

Complementing the superior action is a TriggerTech Trigger. TriggerTech is renowned for its innovative Frictionless Release Technology™ (FRT), which provides an incredibly crisp, clean break without any creep or overtravel.

Why is a TriggerTech trigger so important for precision shooting?

• Crisp, Predictable Break: The clean break of a TriggerTech trigger eliminates any uncertainty or "mushiness" often associated with factory triggers. This predictability allows the shooter to execute precise shots consistently.
• Zero Creep: The frictionless design means there's no perceptible movement or "creep" before the hammer falls, which is vital for maintaining aim and preventing last-second flinches.
• Enhanced Accuracy: A superior trigger allows the shooter to focus entirely on fundamentals like sight picture and breath control, directly translating to tighter groups and improved accuracy.
• Adjustability: TriggerTech triggers are typically adjustable, allowing the shooter to fine-tune the pull weight to their preference, optimizing it for their specific shooting style and application.

The PROOF Carbon Fiber Stock: Lightweight Durability

The Elevation MTR also comes standard with a lightweight PROOF carbon fiber stock finished in striking Black Granite.

What are the benefits of the PROOF carbon fiber stock?

• Unrivaled Weight Savings: Just like the barrel, the carbon fiber stock significantly reduces the overall weight of the rifle, making it a dream to carry over long distances.
• Exceptional Rigidity: A stiff stock provides a stable platform for the action and barrel, preventing flex that could negatively impact accuracy.
• Durability and Weather Resistance: Carbon fiber is highly resistant to temperature changes, moisture, and impact, ensuring the stock remains stable and performs reliably in all environments. Unlike traditional wood stocks, it won't warp, swell, or shrink with changes in humidity or temperature.
• Comfort and Recoil Management: The stock is designed with ergonomics in mind, providing a comfortable and stable shooting position. It's also fitted with a Pachmayr recoil pad, which effectively absorbs and dissipates recoil energy, making the powerful 6.5 PRC more comfortable to shoot, even during extended range sessions. This helps reduce shooter fatigue and allows for quicker recovery between shots.

The Power of 6.5 PRC: Performance and Versatility

The 6.5 PRC (Precision Rifle Cartridge) is a modern, short-magnum cartridge that has rapidly gained popularity among hunters and long-range shooters for its exceptional ballistic performance.

Why choose the 6.5 PRC for the Elevation MTR?

• Flat Trajectory and High Velocity: The 6.5 PRC propels high ballistic coefficient (BC) bullets at impressive velocities, resulting in a very flat trajectory and minimal wind drift, especially at extended ranges. This simplifies holdovers and makes long-range shot placement more forgiving.
• Excellent Terminal Performance: Despite its relatively light recoil for a magnum, the 6.5 PRC delivers ample energy for ethical hunting of medium to large game, including deer, elk, and moose. Its efficient bullet design ensures reliable expansion and penetration.
• Accuracy Potential: The cartridge was designed from the ground up for precision, making it a natural fit for a match-grade rifle like the Elevation MTR. Its efficient case design and consistent performance contribute to sub-MOA accuracy.
• Manageable Recoil: While a magnum, the 6.5 PRC's recoil is often described as manageable, especially in a rifle equipped with a good recoil pad and the option for a muzzle brake. This allows shooters to maintain focus and comfort during long practice sessions or critical hunting moments.
• Versatility: The 6.5 PRC is a versatile cartridge suitable for a wide range of applications, from competitive precision rifle series (PRS) matches to diverse hunting scenarios across various terrains.
