Proof Research is the company that made carbon fiber-wrapped barrels a mainstream option, and the Elevation is the rifle it builds around its own barrel technology. The carbon wrap over a match-grade steel core delivers the stiffness of a heavy barrel at a fraction of the weight, and it sheds heat faster than steel — which is exactly what a mountain hunter wants from a rifle he has to carry to 10,000 feet.

This Elevation 2.0 is chambered in .300 PRC with a 22-inch barrel and the Midnight stock finish. The .300 PRC was designed around long, high-BC .308 bullets for extended-range performance, making this a legitimate long-range elk and open-country rifle.
