Description
Proof Research built its name on carbon fiber barrels, and the Elevation MTR 2.0 is what happens when they wrap that expertise into a complete rifle. This one comes chambered in 6.5 PRC, a cartridge that has earned its spot with hunters and long-range folks alike for pushing high-BC bullets fast without beating you up. The 22 inch Sendero contour barrel is Proof's patented carbon fiber-wrapped, match-grade design with a 1:7.5 twist, so it stabilizes the heavy 140 to 156 grain bullets that make this cartridge shine past 500 yards. The muzzle is threaded 5/8-24 and ships with a thread protector, so adding a suppressor or brake is a five minute job.
What Sets the Elevation MTR 2.0 Apart
The MTR stands for Mountain Tactical Rifle, and the parts list reads like a custom build sheet. You get a Zermatt Arms Origin action, one of the smoothest and most respected Remington 700 footprint actions out there, mated to a crisp TriggerTech trigger. A single-piece pinned Picatinny rail sits up top ready for glass, and a modified ball bolt knob makes running the action fast and positive with gloves on. Feeding comes from a detachable box magazine, which is a real convenience when you are loading up at the truck or topping off in a stage. Every rifle is test fired and backed by Proof's sub-MOA accuracy guarantee.
Carbon Fiber Where It Counts
The TFDE carbon fiber stock keeps the whole package rigid and light without the flex you get from cheap injection-molded stocks. Between the carbon-wrapped barrel and carbon stock, this rifle sheds serious weight compared to a steel-barreled precision gun of similar contour, which matters a lot on day three of an elk hunt. Length of pull sits at 13 5/8 inches, comfortable for most builds.
Who the MTR 2.0 Fits Best
This is the rifle for someone who wants one gun that does double duty: steel at distance on the weekend and a mule deer tag in the fall. It brings custom-shop components in a package that is ready to hunt straight out of the box.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Elevation MTR 2.0 accurate enough for long-range shooting?
Yes. Every Elevation MTR 2.0 is test fired at the factory and backed by Proof Research's sub-MOA accuracy guarantee. Between the match-grade carbon fiber-wrapped barrel, Zermatt Arms Origin action, and TriggerTech trigger, this rifle has the component quality to hold its own well past 1,000 yards with good ammo and glass.
Can I run a suppressor on the Proof Elevation MTR 2.0?
You can. The 22 inch barrel comes threaded 5/8-24 from the factory with a thread protector installed, so it accepts most common suppressors and muzzle brakes without any gunsmith work. The 6.5 PRC also suppresses nicely for a magnum-class cartridge.
What twist rate does the 6.5 PRC MTR 2.0 use, and what bullets does it like?
The 6.5 PRC version runs a 1:7.5 twist, which is quick enough to stabilize the long, high-BC bullets this cartridge was built around. Factory loads in the 140 to 156 grain range, like ELD Match, ELD-X, and Berger offerings, are where this rifle tends to do its best work.
Does the Elevation MTR 2.0 come with a scope mount?
It ships with a single-piece pinned Picatinny rail already mounted on the receiver, so you just need rings and an optic. Since the Zermatt Origin action uses a Remington 700 footprint, aftermarket support for accessories is about as broad as it gets.
