About this product
The Proof Elevation MTR 2.0 7mm PRC 22″ TFDE Right Hand is a carbon-fiber precision rifle engineered for lightweight long-range shooting with sub-MOA accuracy. This rifle combines a Sendero-contour carbon-wrapped barrel with a Zermatt Arms Origin action and TFDE carbon stock, making it ideal for hunters and precision shooters who need to cover ground without sacrificing mechanical consistency. At 6.8 pounds unloaded, it's 2.1 pounds lighter than a typical steel-barreled precision rifle like the Stevens 334 Rifle | .308 Win, 20in Matte Black Synthetic while maintaining exceptional stability.
What is the Proof Elevation MTR 2.0 used for?
This rifle is designed for hunters and precision shooters needing lightweight, long-range capability. The 7mm PRC cartridge delivers 3,000 fps muzzle velocity with 180-grain bullets, making it effective out to 1,200 yards on game. Carbon fiber construction allows for extended carries in mountain terrain without fatigue compromising shot placement.
How does the Proof Elevation MTR 2.0 compare to the Stevens 334?
The Elevation MTR 2.0 outperforms the Stevens 334 in both weight savings and precision engineering. Where the Stevens 334 weighs 7.5 pounds and shoots 1.5 MOA, the Proof rifle weighs 6.8 pounds and guarantees sub-MOA accuracy. The Proof's carbon fiber barrel and stock provide better harmonic consistency than the Stevens' conventional steel and synthetic construction, though at nearly four times the price.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs 6.8 pounds with an empty magazine and measures 42.5 inches overall length. Barrel length is precisely 22 inches with a 1:8 twist rate, and the 5/8×24 threaded muzzle accepts suppressors up to 1.5 inches in diameter. The TFDE carbon stock has a 13.5-inch length of pull with minimal flex under load.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle isn't suitable for budget-conscious shooters or those needing heavy-barrel benchrest stability. The $3,799 price puts it in premium territory, and the carbon fiber construction, while lightweight, lacks the heat dissipation of steel for sustained rapid fire. For occasional range use, consider the more affordable the Stevens 334 Rifle | .308 Win, 20in Matte Black Synthetic.
What's in the box?
The rifle ships with one 5-round detachable magazine, thread protector, and manufacturer documentation. Unlike some competitors, it does not include scope mounts or cleaning kits. The TriggerTech trigger comes preset to a crisp 2.5-pound break from the factory.
Is the Proof Elevation MTR 2.0 worth it at $3,799?
At this price, it's justified for serious hunters and competitors who value weight reduction without accuracy compromise. The carbon fiber barrel alone costs more than many complete rifles, but delivers consistent 0.75 MOA groups with match ammunition. For those needing NFA-compliant configurations, the threaded barrel simplifies more on suppressor paperwork integration.

Pros & cons
What works
- Weighs 6.8 lb — 2.1 lb lighter than steel-barreled precision rifles
- Sub-MOA guarantee — consistently groups under 1 inch at 100 yards
- 22-inch carbon barrel — dissipates heat faster than stainless steel during strings
- 5/8×24 threaded muzzle — direct suppressor mounting without adapters
Trade-offs
- No included scope mounts — adds $150-300 for quality rings and base
- Carbon fiber shows scratches easily — requires careful transport in padded cases
- Limited aftermarket stock options — TFDE pattern is proprietary to Proof
- 7mm PRC ammunition costs $3.50-5.00 per round — expensive practice sessions

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with AICS pattern magazines?
- Yes, it uses standard AICS pattern detachable box magazines. The included magazine holds 5 rounds of 7mm PRC, and most aftermarket AICS magazines from manufacturers like Accurate-Mag or MDT will function properly.
- Does it fit in a standard rifle case?
- The 42.5-inch overall length requires a 44-inch or longer hard case for transport. Most Plano All-Weather cases in 44-inch or 50-inch configurations will accommodate it with scope mounted.
- How long does shipping take?
- Firearms ship via FedEx Ground with adult signature required, typically arriving within 5-7 business days after FFL paperwork clears. All shipments include tracking and require FFL transfer on receipt.
- Can I return it if it doesn't shoot accurately?
- Proof Research's sub-MOA guarantee allows returns within 30 days if the rifle fails to group under 1 inch at 100 yards with factory match ammunition. You must provide witnessed test targets and original packaging for evaluation.
