Designed for serious backcountry and long-range shooters, this rifle combines a titanium receiver, PROOF’s patented carbon fiber–wrapped match-grade barrel, and a carbon fiber Monte Carlo Ascension stock in Tactical Flat Dark Earth. Backed by a sub 1/2 MOA accuracy guarantee, the Ascension is made to reach far, hit hard, and carry light in the mountains.
Built Around 7mm PRC for Modern Long-Range Hunting
Chambered in 7mm PRC, this Ascension configuration is tailored for today’s high-BC hunting bullets and real-world long-range performance:
Caliber: 7mm PRC – optimized for heavy, high-BC projectiles that fight wind and retain energy at extended ranges.
Intended role: Western big-game hunting, extended cross-canyon shots, and precision steel work out to truly long distances.
If you’re chasing elk, mule deer, or other big game in huge country, 7 PRC in the Ascension gives you a flat trajectory, manageable recoil, and outstanding downrange performance.
22" PROOF Carbon Fiber–Wrapped Sendero Barrel – 1:8 Twist, 5/8-24
Accuracy and weight savings start with the barrel, and PROOF is famous for theirs:
22" PROOF patented carbon fiber–wrapped, match-grade barrel in Sendero contour – combines a stainless core with an advanced carbon wrap for stiffness and reduced weight.
1:8" twist rate – ideal for the long, heavy 7mm bullets commonly used in 7 PRC for long-range hunting and precision.
Threaded muzzle, 5/8-24 with a thread protector installed from the factory, ready for brakes or suppressors.
The PROOF carbon barrel offers excellent rigidity, fast heat dissipation, and repeatable cold-bore and hot-bore performance—exactly what you want when your once-a-season opportunity presents itself.
Titanium Receiver by Zermatt Arms – Custom-Grade Action
At the center of the Ascension is a titanium receiver from Zermatt Arms, giving you custom-rifle performance in a factory package:
Right-hand titanium action keeps weight low while maintaining strength and durability in harsh mountain conditions.
Precision machining and PROOF’s extreme-accuracy bedding system work together for consistent lock-up and tight groups.
Clean, modern lines and a black Cerakote finish on the metal give the rifle a premium, weatherproof look and feel.
Titanium helps push the Ascension into true mountain-rifle territory without sacrificing the precision you expect from PROOF.
Ascension TFDE Monte Carlo Carbon Fiber Stock
The Ascension stock takes the classic Monte Carlo profile and brings it into the modern, carbon-fiber age:
PROOF carbon fiber Ascension stock with a timeless Monte Carlo design, reimagined for better ergonomics and aesthetics.
Higher comb and refined grip geometry come together for an exceptionally comfortable fit and natural eye alignment with today’s optics.
Finished in TFDE (Tactical Flat Dark Earth), giving you a modern earth-tone look that blends into real backcountry environments and pairs well with a wide range of optics and accessories.
Carbon fiber construction offers outstanding strength-to-weight ratio and long-term durability in wet, cold, or rough conditions—perfect for a rifle that lives in the high country.
Sub 1/2 MOA Accuracy Guarantee
Like other top-tier PROOF rifles, the Ascension is built and tested to an extremely high accuracy standard:
Sub 1/2 MOA accuracy guarantee – PROOF backs this rifle to shoot under 0.5 MOA 3-shot groups at 100 yards with quality ammo and a capable shooter.
Each rifle is rigorously test-fired at the factory to verify performance before it leaves PROOF’s facility.
That means you’re not just buying a lightweight hunting rifle—you’re getting a precision instrument ready for long-range work the moment you mount glass.
TriggerTech Trigger & Extreme-Accuracy Bedding
Shootability and consistency are critical when shots get long and conditions get tough:
Equipped with a TriggerTech trigger, providing a crisp, clean break with minimal creep and over-travel, helping you call shots with confidence on steep angles and improvised rests.
PROOF’s precision extreme-accuracy bedding system ensures the action is perfectly mated to the stock, promoting repeatable harmonics and a stable point of impact through varying conditions.
This pairing brings custom-rifle trigger and bedding performance to a production rifle built for real field use.
Lightweight, Ready-for-the-Mountains Package
Despite its heavy-hitting caliber and precision pedigree, the Ascension is impressively light:
Overall weight around 6 lbs. 4 oz. in this 7mm PRC / 22" TFDE configuration, depending on exact setup.
Designed to fall in the 5 lb 5 oz – 6 lb 4 oz range across the Ascension line, before optics and accessories.
Slim Monte Carlo stock and Sendero contour barrel create a rifle that balances well and shoulders quickly, even when you’re winded and wearing a pack.
Add a lightweight scope and rings and you still have a mountain-capable rig you’ll actually want to carry all day.
Practical Hunting Features – Magazine, Capacity & Layout
The Ascension is purpose-built as a hunting rifle, not just a range toy:
Bolt action, right hand, with smooth cycling and a hunting-friendly safety layout.
Capacity: 3+1 in 7mm PRC, giving you three in the BDL-style internal magazine plus one in the chamber—ample for real-world hunting scenarios.
No open sights – set up for quality optics right out of the gate, and the titanium receiver is typically topped with a Picatinny rail for easy scope mounting (model/retailer dependent).
Everything here is geared toward a serious hunter who wants maximum capability without unnecessary bulk.
