Conviction Ti Rifle Proves A Heavyweight Tactical Contender
Utilizing cutting-edge materials, the Proof Research Conviction Ti rifle provides the utmost in mobility and accuracy.
What Set The Conviction Ti Apart From Other Precision Rifles:
- Lightweight and rugged titanium receiver
- Rigid, featherweight carbon-fiber wrapped barrel
- Weight reducing laid carbon-fiber stock
If you haven’t heard about Proof Research, you haven’t been paying attention. The firearms world lousy with the cutting-edge manufacturer’s lightweight, high-strength barrels. Seem nearly every featherweight rig to hit the scene recently—whether destine for backcountry adventure or match gold—wears one. A little secret, you don’t have to turn to another gunmaker to reap the benefits of Proof’s carbon-fiber wrapped gems. They’ll sell you the complete package—lock, stock and, of course, barrel.
The latest in the Montana concern’s impressive and growing lineup is the Conviction Ti Long-Range Precision Tactical Rifle. A lightweight precision bolt-action, the rifle is long on carbon fiber, not unusual for a company that has made its name working in the material. What is is the composition of Conviction Ti’s receiver. If you paid attention to the gun’s name and are up on the Periodic Table you might have already guessed, it’s titanium.
Known for its low density and high strength, as well as corrosion resistance, the metal is an ideal material for a lightweight and rugged shooter. It goes a way in keeping the Conviction Ti frivolous in heft, despite sporting a sizable precision stock. Tipping the scales at 6.4 pounds to 8.1 pounds depending on caliber, the rifle weighs a fraction of most in its class. Even when decked out with optic, suppressor and bipod, the rifle comes in under 13 pounds, nearly half of other traditional tactical systems. An asset that makes it a superlative option where accuracy and mobility are at a premium, be it hunting or a tactical endeavor.
