SBA capabilities narrative
Proof Research began as a custom rifle company with a simple goal-to create world-class precision rifle systems that set a new standard within the industry. Building on that foundation we then brought together the finest minds and innovations in the industry to create rifle systems that are lighter, stronger and more accurate than anything else available. By combining our next-generation carbon fiber barrels with our hand-laid carbon/Kevlar composite stocks, custom actions and the best components available, we're building rifle systems that impress even the most veteran shooter. Our Montana facility produces the world's finest composite barrels, stocks, and complete rifles. Our technology is scalable to medium and large calibur as well.
