Proof Research 136201 Ascension | .308 Win | Bolt Action

The Proof Research Ascension (model 136201) is a bolt-action rifle chambered for .308 Win / 7.62 NATO built for precision. It combines a carbon-fiber wrapped, match-grade barrel with a Zermatt TI3 titanium action and a TFDE Monte Carlo stock with a raised comb, and it ships with a TriggerTech trigger. This configuration is intended for precision-oriented shooters who prioritize accuracy and consistency. A suitable optic under $1,000 that pairs well with this platform is the Vortex Viper PST Gen II 3-15×44, which balances magnification range and optical quality for typical .308 engagements.

Applications: precision target shooting and medium-range field or match use.
