PROOF Research Announces New Stock Offerings
PROOF Research, the company renowned for pioneering aerospace-grade carbon fiber barrels that shave pounds off rifles while boosting accuracy and heat dissipation, has just dropped a game-changer for custom builders and backcountry enthusiasts. The company announced that its Lightweight Hunter Stock and Mountain Tactical Hunter Stock are now hitting the market as standalone components, giving shooters the freedom to integrate these ultra-light carbon fiber masterpieces into their own builds. Previously, these stocks have only been sold together with their high-end rifles.
The Lightweight Hunter Stock tips the scales at under 21 ounces, making it one of the featherweights in its class and ideal for ounce-counting mountain hunters chasing elk or sheep in rugged terrain.
It's engineered for minimalism without skimping on rigidity, often enabling complete rifles to dip below 6 pounds when paired with PROOF's Sendero Light contour barrels. In comparison, traditional laminate wood or injection-molded polymer stocks can easily weigh 32-48 ounces, adding unnecessary bulk that fatigues users on long treks.
Stepping up in versatility, the Mountain Tactical Hunter Stock clocks in at under 28 ounces but packs tactical features like an adjustable cheek riser for precise eye alignment with optics, M-LOK slots for accessory mounting, and QD sling points for quick carry transitions.
This stock bridges the gap between pure lightweight hunting and practical field use, maintaining PROOF's signature durability with carbon fiber that's tougher than steel per unit weight, resisting impacts and environmental extremes that could warp lesser materials.
For context, these stocks have already starred in PROOF's Elevation and Glacier rifle lines, where they've contributed to sub-6-pound builds achieving 1 MOA accuracy guarantees out of the box, as verified through factory testing.
“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.”
The prices are $949 and $999. For more information, check https://proofresearch.com/lightweight-hunter-stock/ and https://proofresearch.com/mountain-tactical-hunter-stock/
