Proof Research Elevation 2.0 .300 Win Mag 22 in Carbon Fiber Stock
The Proof Research Elevation 2.0 .300 Win Mag 22 in Carbon Fiber Stock is a lightweight hunting rifle built for guys who want to carry less weight up the mountain without giving up accuracy. It pairs a Zermatt Arms Origin action with a carbon fiber-wrapped match-grade Sendero contour barrel and a fixed carbon fiber stock finished in Black Granite. You get a TriggerTech trigger, hinged floorplate, and a threaded muzzle with protector — all backed by a sub-MOA accuracy guarantee from Proof Research.

Key Features
- Carbon Fiber-Wrapped Match-Grade Barrel — Why it matters: The Sendero contour keeps weight down while maintaining stiffness for consistent accuracy shot after shot, even during strings.
- TriggerTech Trigger — Why it matters: Crisp, adjustable pull means you can dial in the break to your preference, reducing shooter error at the moment of truth.
- Zermatt Arms Origin Action — Why it matters: This is a proven, smooth-running action that feeds .300 Win Mag rounds reliably and gives you a solid platform for customization.
- Fixed Carbon Fiber Stock (Black Granite) — Why it matters: The stock is rigid and lightweight, with a texture that helps you maintain a solid grip in wet or cold conditions.
- 5/8-24 Threaded Muzzle with Thread Protector — Why it matters: You can quickly attach a suppressor or brake without any gunsmith work, making it range-ready right out of the box.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for recreational hunters who cover ground on foot — think spot-and-stalk elk hunts or backcountry mule deer trips. It’s also a solid pick for the long-range shooter who wants a lightweight platform that still holds tight groups at 500+ yards. First-time buyers looking for a premium hunting rifle that won’t weigh them down will appreciate the balance of weight and accuracy.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Sub-MOA guarantee from Proof Research — you know it shoots before you buy.
- Pro: 6.5 lbs unloaded makes it one of the lightest .300 Win Mag rifles in this price range.
- Pro: Threaded barrel gives you suppressor or brake options without extra gunsmithing.
- Con: The fixed stock limits adjustability for length of pull and cheek height — you can’t swap it easily if you need a different fit.

FAQ
Does the Proof Research Elevation 2.0 come with a scope base?
Yes, the rifle ships with a Picatinny-style rail already installed on the Zermatt Arms Origin action, so you can mount your optics right away.
What twist rate is the barrel?
The barrel uses a 1:10 twist rate, which stabilizes bullet weights from 150 to 220 grains in .300 Win Mag.
Can I use this rifle for target shooting or just hunting?
It works great for both. The sub-MOA guarantee and match-grade barrel make it a solid choice for long-range target work, but the lightweight build is optimized for hunting.
Is the stock adjustable for length of pull?
No, the fixed carbon fiber stock is not adjustable. If you need a custom fit, you may want to consider a chassis-style stock instead.
What magazines does it accept?
It ships with a hinged floorplate magazine that holds 3 rounds of .300 Win Mag. It does not accept AICS or detachable box magazines.
