PROOF Research Glacier Ti — .308 Win | 4+1 | 20" Carbon Fiber Match-Grade Threaded Barrel | Black Cerakote® Titanium Receiver w/ Picatinny Rail | Fixed PROOF Hunter TFDE Carbon-Fiber Stock | SKU: 118450 | UPC: 843068118450
Featherweight feel. Heavyweight performance. The PROOF Research Glacier Ti in .308 Winchester is a premier, backcountry-ready bolt rifle that blends a titanium receiver with a 20-inch carbon-fiber match-grade barrel and a rigid carbon-fiber Hunter stock (TFDE) to create a mountain rifle that carries light, points fast, and shoots with confidence-inspiring precision. Finished in Black Cerakote® and topped with an integrated Picatinny optics rail, this 4+1-capacity Glacier Ti is the top-tier choice for hunters who demand cutting ounces without sacrificing accuracy or reliability.
Why the Glacier Ti Stands Out
Ultralight, All-Day Carry: Titanium action + carbon-fiber barrel + carbon-fiber stock means mountain-friendly weight while maintaining stiffness where it counts.
Match-Grade Precision: PROOF’s cut-rifled, carbon-wrapped barrel is engineered for thermal stability and consistent harmonics for repeatable downrange accuracy.
Field-Durable Finishes: Black Cerakote® on the titanium receiver and corrosion-resistant componentry shrug off foul weather, sweat, dust, and extended hunts.
Ready for Optics & Suppressors: Factory Picatinny rail streamlines scope mounting; threaded muzzle is suppressor/brake ready (verify thread pitch for your exact rifle).
Key Features & Advantages
Caliber & Capacity: .308 Winchester, 4+1 rounds—versatile, widely available, proven on deer, elk, and hogs with excellent ammo selection.
20" Carbon-Fiber Match-Grade Barrel: Carbon wrap over a match stainless core offers rapid heat dissipation, barrel stiffness, and reduced weight for long treks and quick follow-ups.
Threaded Muzzle (factory): Accepts a muzzle brake or suppressor to tailor recoil/flash (thread pitch typically 5/8x24—confirm on your rifle).
Titanium Receiver (Black Cerakote): Ultra-strong, corrosion-resistant action with a silky bolt throw and integrated Picatinny rail for solid optic mounting.
PROOF Hunter Carbon-Fiber Stock (TFDE): Lightweight, rigid, and weatherproof with ergonomics designed for natural point of aim and consistent cheek weld.
Precision Trigger (factory-tuned): Crisp break aids precise shot release in field positions.
Detachable Box Magazine / Internal (varies by configuration): Field-friendly loading; follow your rifle’s manual for specifics.
Smart Geometry for Field Use: Balanced weight distribution yields fast target acquisition offhand, over packs, or on tripods.
Note: Small-part specs (trigger model, thread pitch, mag type) can vary by production. Always verify your rifle’s included components on the box/owner’s manual.
Mountain-Grade Performance You Can Feel
Stays Accurate, Shot After Shot: Carbon-wrapped barrels help manage heat so POI stays stable during cold-bore and follow-up shots.
Less Weight, More Control: A nimble, balanced chassis makes awkward angles and steep-side shots more achievable—with less fatigue.
Confidence in Any Weather: Carbon-fiber and Cerakote® finishes resist swelling, warping, or corrosion through rain, snow, and temperature swings.
Ideal Use Cases
Backcountry & Mountain Hunts: Carry an ultralight rifle to the glassing knob and still have the precision to capitalize on fleeting shot windows.
Western Big Game: .308 Win is a proven performer on mule deer, pronghorn, black bear, and elk (with quality bullets and sound shot placement).
Precision-Ready Hunting: Pair with a dialable scope and quality ammo to ring steel during dope validation and verify your ballistic solutions before the hunt.
Setup Tips
Optics: A compact 3–15x or 4–16x scope complements the rifle’s do-all range; mount low with quality rings on the included rail.
Muzzle Device: Add a lightweight brake for maximum recoil control or a suppressor for reduced blast—re-torque and re-zero after installation.
Ammo Selection: Test premium .308 Win hunting loads (e.g., bonded, monolithic, or controlled expansion) to find your rifle’s preferred accuracy node.
Zero Strategy: Establish a 200-yard zero (common for .308 hunting) and confirm at distance; record dope for your expected density altitude.

Maintenance & Care

Torque & Bedding: Verify action screw torque per PROOF specs; re-check after travel or big temperature swings.
Zero Integrity: Any change to muzzle device/torque or ring/base torque requires a re-zero; keep a logbook with round count and dope.
Compliance & Safety
Know Your Laws: Verify local regulations for hunting seasons, magazine capacity, and suppressed hunting.
Transport & Storage: Use a locked case and store ammunition separately; maintain a clean, lightly oiled bore before long-term storage.
Ethical Shots: Validate ballistic solutions at field distances and practice positional shooting for clean, responsible harvests.
