The Proof Research Elevation FDX 6.5mm Creedmoor Rifle (brand part no. 153932) is built for hunters who want a genuinely lightweight rifle without giving up long-range capability. Finished in Proof Research’s Splinter camouflage over a carbon fiber stock, this bolt-action platform pairs a Falkor Defense LW7 action with an 18-inch Sendero-contour carbon fiber barrel to keep weight down without sacrificing accuracy. It’s built for backcountry mountain hunts where every ounce on your back matters, and for shooters who still want to stretch their effective range at distance. The carbon fiber barrel uses Proof Research’s own PXT rifling geometry, engineered to reduce throat erosion and extend service life well beyond a conventional barrel.

Key Specifications

• The barrel measures 18 inches, balancing weight savings with usable velocity for 6.5mm Creedmoor.

• The Hawkins Precision M5 Hunter bottom metal feeds from a 3-round detachable box magazine for reliable cycling in the field.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Proof Research’s PXT barrel technology do? It reduces rifling lead angle and smooths projectile engagement into the bore, which lowers engraving force and throat erosion. In controlled testing, PXT barrels have shown 30-100% longer barrel life before accuracy degrades.

Can I mount a bipod without an adapter? Yes. The SRS Combo Rail forend has both ARCA and Picatinny interfaces built in, so ARCA and Picatinny bipods and tripods both mount directly.

Is the muzzle threaded for a brake or suppressor? Yes, it’s threaded 5/8-24 and ships with a thread protector already installed.
