Description
Left-handed rifle builders tend to treat southpaws like an afterthought. Proof Research went the other way with this Elevation MTR 2.0, giving lefties a true left-hand action wrapped in the same premium components as the right-handed version. MTR stands for Mountain Tactical Rifle, and that name fits. It splits the difference between a lightweight hunting rig and a precision rifle, so you get one gun that works for backcountry hunts, steel matches, and everything in between.
What Makes the Elevation MTR 2.0 Different
The heart of this rifle is Proof's patented carbon fiber wrapped, match-grade barrel in a Sendero contour, 20 inches long and chambered in .308 Win with a 1:10 twist. Carbon fiber wrapping sheds serious weight compared to an all-steel barrel of the same contour while keeping the stiffness that helps groups stay tight when the barrel heats up. The muzzle comes threaded 5/8-24 with a thread protector, so adding a suppressor or brake is a two-minute job. Feeding is handled by a detachable box magazine, which is a big practical upgrade over a blind mag when you want quick reloads or a fast unload at the truck.
Zermatt Origin Action, TriggerTech Trigger
Proof built this rifle on the Zermatt Arms Origin action, a favorite in the custom rifle world for its smooth cycling and consistent lockup, and topped it with a TriggerTech trigger that breaks clean shot after shot. A one-piece pinned Picatinny rail comes installed, so mounting glass is straightforward. The carbon fiber stock wears Proof's TFDE finish, and the ergonomics, including the raised comb and modified ball bolt knob, are set up for shooting from field positions, not just a bench.
A Sub-MOA Guarantee You Can Count On
Every Elevation MTR 2.0 is test fired before it leaves the factory and backed by Proof's sub-MOA accuracy guarantee. Pair it with quality match or hunting ammo and this rifle will shoot better than most of us can hold. For left-handed hunters and precision shooters who are tired of running a right-handed bolt, this one is worth a serious look.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Elevation MTR 2.0 LH a true left-handed action?
Yes. This is a genuine left-hand Zermatt Arms Origin action with the bolt handle and port on the left side, not a right-handed gun with a swapped stock. Lefties get the same smooth cycling and ejection right-handed shooters enjoy, without reaching over the receiver to run the bolt.
Can I run a suppressor on the Proof Elevation MTR 2.0?
Absolutely. The 20 inch barrel comes finished and threaded 5/8-24, which is the standard thread pitch for most .30 caliber suppressors and muzzle brakes. A thread protector is included to keep the threads clean when you're shooting without a can.
How accurate is the Elevation MTR 2.0 in .308?
Proof Research test fires every rifle before it ships and backs the MTR 2.0 with a sub-MOA accuracy guarantee. The carbon fiber wrapped match barrel is single-point cut rifled, and the 1:10 twist stabilizes the full range of common .308 bullet weights, including heavier 168 and 175 grain match loads.
Is this rifle better suited for hunting or precision shooting?
It genuinely does both, which is the whole point of the Mountain Tactical Rifle concept. At well under 8 pounds bare, it carries like a mountain hunting rifle, while the Origin action, TriggerTech trigger, detachable magazine, and raised comb give it the manners of a precision rig. Plenty of owners run one rifle for hunting season and range days alike.
