Proof Research Debuts Tundra Rifle

The latest long-range platform from Proof Research, the Tundra rifle has been designed with challenging hunting environs in mind, and a further eye to weight savings. Combining the adjustability and performance of a tactical rifle, with the design necessary to meet the demands of high-country hunting, the Tundra is a bolt-action in Proof's Terminus rifle family. With a starting weight of only 7 pounds 3 ounces, a carbon-fiber stock and Sendero-contour carbon-fiber barrel keep weight to a minimum, while retaining sub-½ MOA accuracy.

A BDL-style magazine has been utilized to better seat cartridges, while a TriggerTech trigger boasts a crisp break and short reset. Machined to tight tolerances, the Defiance Ruckus bolt-action has a guaranteed headspace of +/-.001-inches. Completing the rifle is the aforementioned Sendero-profile carbon-fiber barrel, the muzzle of which comes threaded to 5/8-24 TPI with a thread protector, and is ready for the installation of any aftermarket muzzle device.

Tundra Grassland on white“The design of a Monte-Carlo stock is timeless and a long running staple for hunting rifles. We took this timeless design to the next level by adding adjustability. At 7lbs., the Tundra is an already incredible hunting platform, before the addition of any optics or muzzle devices,” Kelly Streiff, vice president of sales & marketing for Proof Research, said. “The last thing a hunter needs to worry about is the weight of their rifle system. There are many lightweight rifles out there, but many come sacrificing accuracy for weight. The Tundra embodies everything that we stand for, which is to develop a lightweight rifle that maintains and delivers extreme long-range accuracy.”

Not a fan of that stock - it could just be the pictures but for some reason it reminds me of the plastic used by Fisher Price.
 
The name Tundra drew my attention, but that stock looks like it would better off a bench, not in the field. My hunting shots have been standing, sitting and kneeling - never prone or using a support.
 
Me too. Also 25-06.

In Inuvik the 243 very popular with local trappers whom are often alone on the land.

No trappers native to Inuvik are buying this rifle... .243 or no.

I would buy a dozen of these if it was offered in Shadow Grey Granite with a 9/16" thread in 7mm B&L.
 
At 7 pounds 3 ounces it's not even that light.

And for $7K USD it's in now way a bargain.

You could build a similarly spec'd custom rifle on a titanium action and be both under 6 pounds and $5K Canadian.
 
I've emailed our Proof Research sales rep. Looks like you're in luck for that quantity

You may have taken the bait?
Before the excuse factory gets fired up to full capacity, do you really think there is any interest? It clearly isn't pot metal junk, it doesn't have mediocre wood, and it doesn't start with R...
And its $7k US... That buys hundreds of Ruggers, you know...Times 12, and its probably thousands...
Just sayin'

R.

Thats exactly what I was thinking. This rifle probably costs more than most of their entire kit combined - including snow machines!
