Proof Elevation 2.0, Used Clymr, Other?

[Calbert05]

Looking to purchase a rifle to be a do it all western hunting rig. I'm looking at the Proof Elevation 2.0 right now. Should I go with this, a used Gunwerks, used Allterra, or something else? Looking for any and all input I can get!

Oh man, you’re going to get a lot of different opinions on this. They will all work and are all good rifles so pick your poison. The proofs are a good looking gun and you’ll find a lot guys on here say they’re the best shooters they’ve had. The stocks don’t give you a lot of modularity for attaching pic/arca rails but I’m sure there are rails that exist for it. Gunwerks are good rifles too but you can get a cheaper rifle to shoot just as well. I think you should add in Seekins element hunter, Alamo precision and I’m sure other brands will come up in the comments

Ok thank you! Yea my main holdback with the proof is the non-integrated pic rail on the action and the seemingly outdated stock. I'll definitely take a look at Alamo and Seekins.

I have never owned one, but I really really want a blue mountain precision ol broomer.

I think the proof elevation stock ergos are awful. I’d do a custom at price point. Even if it’s just a tikka in an aftermarket stock with a barrel o your desired spec.

I found an elevation for 2600... do you think the other components are nice enough to make it worth throwing an aftermarket stock on it at that price?

Gunwerks Glr action used on the clymer and magus is not integral rail. They fool you in pics as they use 2 piece rails.

Only the nexus has built in pic.
And it’s why I’m not buying a new gunwerks this year.

Oh what, that's disappointing. I wonder if a used Nexus would be worth looking at.
