| Columbia Falls, Mont. (September 2025) – PROOF Research®, a leader in advanced firearms technology and carbon fiber barrel manufacturing,is proud to announce that two world-class stocks, the Lightweight Hunter Stock and the Mountain Tactical Hunter Stock, are now available to shooters and hunters as standalone products. Built on PROOF’s reputation for cutting-edge innovation, these carbon fiber stocks deliver the ultimate in weight reduction, ergonomics, and performance without compromise. PROOF Research has built its reputation on the groundbreaking use of carbon fiber technology, creating rifles that are lighter, stronger, and more accurate than traditional designs. That same innovation is at the core of its stock offerings. Hand-laid for precision, PROOF’s carbon fiber stocks dramatically reduce weight, often weighing only a fraction of traditional rifle stocks, without compromising durability or performance. For hunters, that difference matters: every ounce saved in the field adds up, making these stocks the foundation of some of the lightest hunting rifles available today. “Hunters and shooters have always known PROOF Research for pushing boundaries in rifle technology,” said Rich Hunter, CEO at PROOF Research. “Our carbon fiber stocks are at the core of what makes our rifles so light, strong, and accurate. With this launch, we’re excited to make these stocks available as individual products, so more hunters and marksmen can experience the PROOF difference in their own builds.” Weighing in at less than 21 ounces, the Lightweight Hunter is designed for backcountry hunters who measure every ounce in their pack. Engineered with bedded pillars and a molded-in carbon fiber V-block, it delivers a secure fit that enhances accuracy shot after shot. Pair it with PROOF’s Sendero barrel, and hunters can expect a rifle that is both durable and dramatically lighter than traditional builds. Featured on the Elevation MTR, the Mountain Tactical Hunter Stock combines mountain-ready weight savings with tactical-level control. At under 28 ounces, it features a near-vertical grip and a raised comb for excellent ergonomics and consistent cheek weld to deliver superior comfort and consistency. Delivering all the benefits of a tactical stock at just a fraction of the weight of traditional designs, it is engineered with a carbon fiber V-block and bedded pillars to ensure rock-solid durability and precision whether on the range, in competition, or deep in the backcountry. |
