Description
The Proof Elevation MTR 2.0 Rifle in 6.5 PRC with a 5rd magazine and 22″ threaded barrel is a lightweight tactical rig that doesn’t compromise on precision. Built around a Sendero-contour carbon fiber barrel, a Zermatt Arms Origin action, and a TriggerTech trigger, this rifle delivers sub-MOA accuracy out of the box. The TFDE carbon fiber stock keeps the weight down for mountain hunting or PRS-style competition, making it a practical choice for shooters who need to move fast but hit hard.

Key Features
- PROOF Carbon Fiber-Wrapped Barrel — The Sendero contour balances stiffness and weight savings, allowing you to carry this rifle all day without fatigue while still holding a 0.5 MOA group at 100 yards.
- TriggerTech Trigger — A crisp, adjustable trigger with zero creep and a clean break, which translates to better shot placement under match pressure.
- Zermatt Arms Origin Action — A controlled-round feed action with an integrated rail and recoil lug, giving you a rock-solid platform for consistent bolt manipulation and extraction.
- PROOF Carbon Fiber Stock — The TFDE stock is stiff, lightweight, and features a full-length bedding block, so your action stays torqued and your point of impact doesn’t shift with temperature changes.
- Sub-MOA Accuracy Guarantee — According to Proof Research specs, each rifle is test-fired and guaranteed to shoot under 1 MOA with match ammunition, saving you the hassle of barrel break-in guesswork.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for the precision shooter who needs a lightweight rig for mountain hunting, PRS matches, or long-range steel. If you’re tired of lugging a 12-pound bench gun up a ridge and want something that shoots like a custom build but costs less, the Elevation MTR 2.0 fits that gap. It’s also for the reloader who wants to push 6.5 PRC bullets fast with a 1:7 twist barrel that stabilizes 140-160 grain slugs.
Pros and Cons
- Pro: Sub-7-pound weight with a full-length carbon barrel — you won’t find many production rifles in this weight class that hold sub-MOA accuracy.
- Pro: TriggerTech trigger is one of the best factory triggers on the market, adjustable from 1.5 to 4 lbs without any take-up.
- Con: The 6.5 PRC chamber has a shorter barrel life compared to 6.5 Creedmoor — expect around 1,500-2,000 rounds before accuracy starts to drop, which is a trade-off for the velocity gain.

| Barrel Material | Carbon fiber-wrapped Sendero | Stainless steel, fluted | Carbon fiber-wrapped, fluted |
| Weight | 6.8 lbs | 7.2 lbs | 6.5 lbs |

The Seekins Havak PH2 is a solid steel-barrel alternative at a lower price, but the Proof’s carbon barrel saves nearly half a pound and the Zermatt action has a smoother bolt lift. The Christensen Ridgeline FFT is lighter but uses a proprietary stock that’s less rigid than the Proof’s full-length bedding block.
What is the twist rate on the Proof Elevation MTR 2.0 6.5 PRC?
The barrel has a 1:7 twist rate, which stabilizes bullets from 140 to 160 grains. This is ideal for heavy-for-caliber match bullets like the Berger 156 Grain EOL or Hornady 147 Grain ELD-M.
Does this rifle come with a scope or rings?
No, the rifle is sold as a barreled action with a stock and trigger. You’ll need to add a scope, rings, and a base — the Zermatt action has an integral 20 MOA rail, so you just need rings or a one-piece mount.
What type of magazine does it use?
It uses AICS-pattern 5-round detachable box magazines. The rifle is compatible with Magpul, Accurate-Mag, and other AICS-style mags.
Is the barrel threaded, and what thread pitch?
Yes, the 22″ barrel is threaded 5/8×24, so you can attach a suppressor or muzzle brake directly without an adapter.
What is the weight of the rifle exactly?
Per Proof Research specs, the Elevation MTR 2.0 weighs approximately 6.8 lbs without a scope or magazine. This makes it one of the lightest production 6.5 PRC rifles on the market.
