Description
There's a reason 22 Creedmoor has become the darling of serious predator and varmint hunters, and the Proof Research Elevation 2.0 might be the best factory platform yet for taking advantage of it. Necked down from the 6.5 Creedmoor case, the 22 Creedmoor pushes heavy .224 bullets at serious velocity with a flat trajectory and less wind drift than just about anything in its class. Proof spins this one with a 1:8 twist, so it stabilizes the long, high-BC bullets like 75 to 80 grain match and hunting loads that make this cartridge shine at distance.
What Makes the Elevation 2.0 Worth a Hard Look
Proof built its name on carbon fiber wrapped barrels, and the 20 inch Sendero contour barrel on this rifle is the real deal: match-grade stainless core wrapped in carbon fiber for rigidity and quick cooling without the weight penalty of a full steel tube. It sits in a lightweight carbon fiber stock finished in Midnight camo, a dark, subdued pattern that looks sharp and disappears in low light. The action is a Zermatt Arms Origin, a favorite in the custom rifle world for its smooth cycling and consistent lockup, and the TriggerTech trigger breaks clean with zero creep. Every Elevation 2.0 ships with Proof's sub-MOA accuracy guarantee, so the accuracy claims aren't just marketing talk.
A 22 Creedmoor Built for the Field
The muzzle comes threaded 5/8-24 with a protector, ready for your suppressor or brake right out of the box. That matters with a cartridge like this, because a suppressed 22 Creedmoor is a genuinely pleasant rifle to shoot, with mild recoil that lets you spot your own hits. Between the light overall weight, the weatherproof carbon construction, and 4+1 capacity, this is a rifle you can pack all day in coyote country or across a high-elevation ridge without paying for it in the morning.
Elevation 2.0 in Midnight: The Bottom Line
If you've been wanting a factory rifle with custom-shop components in one of the flattest-shooting .22 caliber cartridges ever standardized, this one checks the boxes without needing a single upgrade.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is 22 Creedmoor good for, and why choose it in the Elevation 2.0?
The 22 Creedmoor is a 6.5 Creedmoor case necked down to .224 caliber, and it launches heavy-for-caliber bullets at very high velocity with a flat trajectory and reduced wind drift. That makes it a standout for coyotes, varmints, and long-range steel, and plenty of hunters use it on deer-sized game with the right bullet. The Elevation 2.0's 1:8 twist stabilizes the long, high-BC bullets that make the cartridge worth shooting.
Is the Proof Research Elevation 2.0 suppressor ready?
Yes. The 20 inch barrel comes threaded 5/8-24 from the factory with a thread protector, so most common .22 and .30 caliber suppressors and muzzle brakes will spin right on. With the mild recoil of 22 Creedmoor, running it suppressed makes for a very comfortable rifle where you can watch your own impacts.
Does the Elevation 2.0 come with an accuracy guarantee?
It does. Proof Research backs the Elevation 2.0 with a sub-MOA accuracy guarantee, meaning it should print groups under one inch at 100 yards with quality ammo. Between the carbon fiber wrapped match barrel, Zermatt Arms Origin action, and TriggerTech trigger, the components are the same caliber of parts you'd find on a full custom build.
What does the Midnight finish look like on this rifle?
Midnight is a dark, subdued camo pattern applied to the carbon fiber stock, paired with a black carbon fiber barrel. It gives the rifle a low-visibility, blacked-out look that hides well in timber and low light, and it holds up well to field abuse since the color is part of a durable finish rather than a coating that peels off with hard use.
