Proof Research Elevation 2.0 7mm Backcountry 20″ Bolt Action Rifle

Looking for a rifle that won’t slow you down on a Montana elk or deer hunt? The Proof Research Elevation 2.0 in 7mm Backcountry delivers the accuracy you need with a weight that won’t wear you out. This rifle pairs a Zermatt Arms Origin action with a TriggerTech trigger and Proof Research’s signature carbon-fiber-wrapped barrel – a configuration designed for consistent, sub-MOA performance right out of the box.

Who Is This Rifle For?

This rifle suits the Montana hunter prioritizing lightweight performance for backcountry hunting. It’s also a solid choice for anyone engaging in precision rifle competitions where weight is a factor.

What To Expect

• Pros: Under 6 pounds with a 20-inch barrel and threaded muzzle. The 7mm Backcountry cartridge offers flat trajectories with manageable recoil.
• Cons: The carbon-fiber forend is relatively narrow; larger bipod mounting systems may require an adapter.
