PROOF Research Ascension — 6.5 PRC, 4+1 | 24" Carbon Fiber–Wrapped Barrel | Black Titanium Action | TFDE Monte Carlo Stock (Raised Comb) | TriggerTech Trigger | Model 136300 | UPC 843068136300
Featherweight carry meets match-grade precision. The PROOF Research Ascension in 6.5 PRC is a premier ultralight mountain rifle that blends a 24" carbon fiber–wrapped barrel with a black titanium action, a TFDE Monte Carlo carbon-fiber stock featuring a raised comb, and a crisp TriggerTech trigger. Purpose-built for backcountry hunters who refuse to trade ounces for accuracy, this Ascension carries like a sheep rifle and shoots like a competition rig—delivering stable harmonics, superb thermal management, and outstanding first-shot confidence at distance.
Why Hunters Choose the Ascension (6.5 PRC)
Carbon fiber precision, without the weight: PROOF’s proprietary carbon fiber–wrapped barrel offers heavy-barrel stiffness and vibration damping at a fraction of the mass, preserving accuracy across temperature swings and long shot strings.
Modern 6.5 PRC ballistics: Higher muzzle velocities, excellent BC bullet options, and flat trajectories extend ethical range and reduce wind drift on big game.
Titanium action advantage: The black titanium action trims ounces while delivering exceptional strength and corrosion resistance—perfect for high-alpine and foul-weather hunts.
TFDE Monte Carlo stock with raised comb: Carbon-fiber Monte Carlo geometry provides a natural cheek weld and repeatable eye-to-optic alignment—especially with today’s larger objective scopes. The TFDE finish blends into desert, timber, and rocky terrain.
TriggerTech crispness: A clean, predictable TriggerTech break increases control in unstable positions and helps shrink group sizes.
Ready for recoil control: The 24" barrel is threaded (typical PROOF spec) for a brake or suppressor so you can stay in the scope and spot impacts.
Field Advantages You’ll Notice
Carry farther, climb higher: Ultralight titanium + carbon fiber minimize fatigue on sidehills and steep climbs.
Consistent cold-bore hits: Match-grade interior finish and carbon stability support reliable zero from dawn to dusk.
Steady sight picture: Monte Carlo comb height and a tuned TriggerTech pull promote smooth follow-through and faster second shots.
All-weather durability: Carbon, titanium, and protective finishes shrug off moisture, dust, and rough travel.
Ideal For
Western big game: Elk, mule deer, pronghorn, and sheep where wind, distance, and elevation matter.
Backcountry & high-elevation hunts: When every ounce counts but precision is non-negotiable.
Precision crossover: Hunters who also train on steel and want competition-level performance in a fieldable package.
Pro Setup Tips
Mounting optics: Use quality rings on a proven base; torque to spec and witness-mark fasteners to monitor travel wear.
Zero & validate: Establish a 100-yard zero, then confirm dope at 300–700+ yards with your preferred 6.5 PRC load.
Brake or suppressor: Install and reconfirm zero; verify thread concentricity and proper torque.
Chronograph your lot: Record MV and atmospherics to true your ballistic solver; PROOF consistency makes truing fast.
Periodic checks: Verify action screw torque and inspect stock-to-action interface after big temperature swings or flights.

Why PROOF Carbon + Titanium Wins
Stiffness-to-weight: Carbon’s engineered layup maximizes rigidity with minimal mass, maintaining POI stability across temperatures.
Thermal management: Carbon fiber aids heat dissipation and dampens vibration for consistent groups and limited thermal shift.
Weatherproof build: Titanium action resists corrosion intrinsically; combined with carbon and protective finishes, it’s ready for the harshest seasons.
Care & Maintenance
Clean the bore with a coated one-piece rod, quality solvent, and a bore guide; avoid aggressive steel tools.
Wipe carbon, titanium, and Cerakote surfaces with a soft cloth after wet/dusty hunts; apply a light oil to steel interfaces and fasteners.
Re-verify torque and zero after flights, long drives, or extreme temperature changes.
