We first met PROOF Research at SHOT Show and I’m impressed with the lower weight and improved performance exhibited by their Carbon Fiber wrapped barrels.
At Modern Day Marine they have this .50 BMG Reduced Weight Sniper System. In addition to the PROOF Research barrel with AAC brake, it incorporates a McMillan Action, Steiner 5-25×56 optic and Cadex Chassis. They’ve been able to shave about 55% on barrel weight bringing the total weight down 25.3% (37 lbs to 27 lbs 10 oz).
This is Caylen Wojcik, Precision Rifle Instructor for Magpul Dynamics with a MagnetoSpeed chronometer mounted to a PROOF Research TACII in .300WM.
PROOF Research uses a patented manufacturing processes using carbon-fiber wrapped barrels to offer the disciplined shooter proven accuracy, longevity and durability. It’s pretty cool. I fired a couple of their weapons at SHOT Show 2013.
If you’ve ever used a chrono, then you know what a pain they can be. That’s why I’m so stoked about the MagnetoSpeed because its barrel mounted, right to the gun. Rather than using screens, it relies on magnetic sensors. Check it out.
I was fortunate enough to learn about PROOF research during SHOT Show 2013. They are a fairly new company located in Northwest Montana that designs and produces innovative barrels and firearms.
PROOF Research combines cutting-edge, patented carbon-fiber barrels, the space-age laminations of Lone Wolf Riflestocks, and the rifle making genius of Jense Precision under one roof. This combination provides unsurpassed accuracy and durability from rifles weighing a fraction of traditional firearms.
The mission of the research and manufacturing facility is to prove what transpires with thermal management and heat dissipation, barrel stiffness and mass reduction, as well as giving us the ability to test and create new ammunition.
They are currently seeking several new team members including Director of Sales, Marketing Manager, Marketing Coordinator and Engineering Manager as well as numerous productions and quality assurance positions.
