Description
Left-handed hunters know the drill. Most premium rifles come in right-hand only, and the lefty versions that do exist often feel like an afterthought. Not here. This Elevation 2.0 is a dedicated left-hand build from Proof Research, chambered in .308 Win with a 20 inch barrel and finished in Tactical Flat Dark Earth. At roughly 5 pounds 14 ounces bare, it is the kind of rifle you stop noticing on your shoulder about a mile into the climb.
Why the Elevation 2.0 Carries So Light
The weight savings come from carbon fiber in the two places it matters most. Proof's match-grade stainless barrel is wrapped in aerospace-grade carbon fiber in their Sendero contour, which gives you the stiffness of a much heavier barrel without the pounds. That wrap also helps the barrel shed heat and keeps your point of impact consistent through a string of shots, something most ultralight rifles struggle with. The barrel wears a 1:10 twist that handles the full range of .308 hunting bullets, and the muzzle is threaded 5/8×24 with a thread protector, so adding a suppressor or brake is a five-minute job.
Components That Pull Their Weight
Proof did not cut corners on the parts they didn't build themselves. The rifle runs on a Zermatt Arms Origin action, a slick two-lug design with a swept-back handle and fluted bolt that has earned a serious following in the custom rifle world. A TriggerTech trigger gives you that clean, zero-creep break, and Hawkins Precision BDL bottom metal with an M5 inlet rounds out the build. Every one of these names would be at home on a full custom rig.
Sub-MOA, Guaranteed
Proof Research backs the Elevation 2.0 with their sub-MOA accuracy guarantee, and each rifle is test fired before it leaves Montana. For a southpaw who wants one rifle that can hump into elk country and still print tight groups at the range, this checks every box.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Elevation 2.0 LH a true left-handed action?
Yes. This is a dedicated left-hand configuration built on the Zermatt Arms Origin action, so the bolt handle and ejection port sit on the correct side for a southpaw. It is not a right-hand rifle with a swapped stock, which makes cycling from the shoulder natural and fast.
Can I run a suppressor on this rifle?
Absolutely. The 20 inch barrel comes threaded 5/8×24, which is the standard pitch for most .30 caliber suppressors and muzzle brakes, and it ships with a thread protector installed. The stiff carbon fiber barrel handles the added weight of a can better than most pencil-profile ultralight barrels.
What does the Proof Research sub-MOA guarantee mean?
Proof guarantees the Elevation 2.0 will shoot groups under one minute of angle, which works out to under an inch at 100 yards with quality ammunition. Each rifle is test fired before it ships. In practical terms, the rifle will outshoot most of us on a windy day.
What scope mounts fit the Elevation 2.0?
The Zermatt Arms Origin action uses the Remington 700 footprint, so any 700-pattern bases or one-piece rails will bolt right up. Just make sure you pick up left-hand friendly hardware if a base has offset features, and keep the overall setup light to preserve the rifle's easy-carrying balance. No optic is included, so budget for quality glass that matches the rifle's capability.
