Proof Research is best known for pioneering the carbon-fiber-wrapped rifle barrel, and the Elevation is the company putting that technology into a complete rifle rather than selling it as a component. The result is a lightweight, sub-MOA hunting rifle where the weight savings come off the barrel, the part that most affects how a rifle carries and balances.

This one is chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor with a short 18-inch barrel and a splinter camo stock. The short tube keeps it handy in timber and makes it far more manageable with a suppressor attached.
