The Proof Research Elevation MTR 2.0 7 mm Remington Magnum 22” RH is a purpose-built mountain rifle that balances extreme light weight with consistent sub-MOA accuracy. It pairs a carbon fiber-wrapped Sendero contour barrel with a Zermatt Arms Origin action and a fixed carbon fiber stock, making it ready for long-range hunting or precision steel without the usual weight penalty. This is the rifle you carry all day and shoot with confidence at dusk.

Key Features
- Carbon Fiber-Wrapped Sendero Contour Barrel – WHY IT MATTERS: The barrel sheds weight while maintaining the stiffness needed for consistent accuracy shot after shot, even during a long day in the field.
- Zermatt Arms Origin Action – WHY IT MATTERS: This action gives you a smooth, reliable bolt lift and a controlled round feed, which matters when you need a fast follow-up on a moving target.
- TriggerTech Trigger – WHY IT MATTERS: The trigger breaks clean and crisp with zero creep, helping you hold the crosshairs steady without pulling the shot off target.
- Fixed Carbon Fiber Stock – WHY IT MATTERS: A rigid, lightweight stock keeps the rifle balanced and stable on the bags or in your hands, reducing fatigue during long glassing sessions.
- Finished & Threaded Muzzle with Thread Protector – WHY IT MATTERS: You can mount a suppressor or brake directly without extra gunsmithing, cutting down on recoil and noise in the field.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for the hunter who hikes miles above treeline and still expects first-round hits on elk or mule deer at extended ranges. It also suits the precision shooter who wants a lightweight rig for PRS or NRL Hunter matches without sacrificing accuracy. If you’re a new gun owner looking for a do-it-all mountain rifle, the Elevation MTR 2.0 gives you a platform that grows with your skills.
Pros & Cons

- Pro: Weighs just over 6 pounds, so you can carry it all day without feeling it.
- Pro: Detachable box magazine makes reloading fast and safe.

Comparison
| Feature | Proof Research Elevation MTR 2.0 | Zev Technologies Z7 Hunter | Geissele Super 700 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weight | ~6.2 lbs | ~7.5 lbs | ~8.0 lbs |
| Barrel Material | Carbon fiber-wrapped stainless | Stainless steel, fluted | Stainless steel, heavy contour |
| Action | Zermatt Arms Origin | Zev billet action | Remington 700 clone |
| Stock | Fixed carbon fiber | Adjustable aluminum chassis | Adjustable synthetic |
| Price | $3,799 | $3,499 | $2,899 |
The Elevation MTR 2.0 is lighter than both competitors, making it the best choice for backcountry hunts. The Zev offers more adjustability, and the Geissele is more affordable, but neither matches the weight savings of Proof’s carbon fiber barrel and stock.
FAQ
What is the barrel length and twist rate on the Proof Research Elevation MTR 2.0 in 7mm Rem Mag?
The barrel is 22 inches long with a 1:8.5 twist rate, optimized for 7mm Rem Mag bullets from 140 to 180 grains. Per Proof Research specs, this twist stabilizes long, high-BC projectiles for better wind performance.
Does the Elevation MTR 2.0 come with a scope base or rings?

Can I change the stock on this rifle later?
The stock is fixed and bonded to the action, so it is not user-swappable. If you want a chassis system, look at the Elevation MTR 2.0 in the chassis version, or consider a different model from Proof Research.
Is this rifle legal for hunting in all 50 states?
Yes, the 7mm Rem Mag is a legal hunting caliber in every state. The rifle meets all federal and state regulations for hunting big game. Check your local laws for magazine capacity limits.
