Proof Elevation

It uses the Zermatt origin action with a proof barrel, in a quality stock, put together by Proof. Pretty much all goodness.

Looks good.
I would want to build my own for the same $ or a little less.
For my own specs.
Better stock.
Hawkins Hunter DBM.
My choice of trigger.
Or do that with a 3b prefit from PVA and save a little more.
And have wider variety of cartridge options.
Like the 280 or ‘06.

What stock and scope?
Looking at McMillian Game Warden with Edge fill (have one for Tikka) and Mesa Precision stocks currently.
I have a Defiance anti-x with a proof barrel and a proof stock put together for me by GAP, I also have a Seekins Element.
They are both really nice, but ultimately, the proof stock has too long of a grip for me (I wear medium gloves), and I have concluded that as much as I like classic lookin rifles, the vertical grip is just a superior design for the kinds of hunting and shooting I do. Consequently, I much prefer the Seekins stock.
I'm waiting for the stock Manners is announcing at SHOT this year, then I'm gonna swap out the proof stock for it.

I dont have that model but I have their elevation mtr in 6.5 PRC. It's been an awesome rifle. I swapped it out with Hawkins hunter dbm. I think it is really solid price rifle for the components your getting. Zermatt has their interchangeable bolt faces and proof is making replacement barrels.
I got one for my brother as a getting out of the marine corps gift. It’s an awesome rifle. First group out of it was in the .3’s @ 100yds with the first factory ammo we tried. It will consistently shoot .5 moa or less. Overall it’s a comfortable rifle and shoots great, for the price I think it’s a good deal vs custom especially if you can find the caliber you want in stock somewhere. Hope that helps man.
First off yes I had a chance to shoot one at the range about a years ago. It was a 6.5CM and only had that day to mess around with it but liked it enough I was ready to buy one especially when Proof announced that they would be building a 7MM-08. Well I waited and waited and they never did make any that I'm aware of so had 2 "faux" Elevations built. Their stock is pretty traditional in overall feel I suppose but is extremely lightweight which I liked. Its become one of my favorite stocks for a light hunting rifle.
Here are the "Twins". Other than the stock color they are both the same and now also have the same NF NXS Compact scope.

Its the same stock they use on their Elevation rifles and I believe its the same or similar to the one they us on their higher end Glacier rifles, really a nice stock and super light.
