The prototype I had was solid, so I’ll be excited to see how final production units look and feel. Lastly, the whole thing with SIG suppressor and SIG Sierra 3 BDX 6.5-20×52 optic weighed a whopping 10.2 pounds - that’s insane. That was promising but the 100-yard results show a consistency that I didn’t think was likely in such a small, lightweight package. In Idaho I shot the Cross to 1,000 yards with ease, never having laid hands or eyes on the platform. I manage to blow a good group whenever I can, cause hey, this is America. I must add that the last two groups both had four rounds under 0.3 inches with one having four consecutive rounds at 0.22 inches. This is a solid 1/2 minute rifle with a consistent shooter at the helm. I threaded a SIG SRD-762 Ti suppressor for testing. It also features a tapered shoulder adapter for those using direct thread cans. ![]() SIG threaded and tapered it to work with its line of muzzle devices and suppressors. My test sample had an 18-inch 6.5 Creedmoor barrel affixed. However, a fairly light profile version will initially be available for the Cross’ hunting promotional efforts. So when you move the lever the piece won’t fall down, forcing you to hold an awkward position while you fight to properly adjust.īarrels will eventually be plentiful. Also, adjusting is easy, utilizing a tensioning knob and button for the LOP and a well-executed lever for the comb height, which is spring assisted. The skeletonized folding stock borrows parts from the MCX line, but features a fully adjustable butt with plenty of travel in the length of pull, as well as comb height areas. The handguard is a 14.75-inch M-LOK attachment type, and the full-length rail will run across it, which leaves options for night vision or other attachments. Zero and 20 MOA cants are also available. While 8-inch versions are available now, a full length version will be available in the future. The receiver features a direct attach Picatinny rail. You need to “run” the bolt, but I digress. I’ve never understood the “minimalist” knobs, especially if you have large or gloved hands. The angled bolt handle features large, oversized knob that is comfortable and effective. The throw is also a short 60 degrees it’s smooth and interruption-free, just the way a good bolt action should be. There are three lugs that are further reinforced for some upcoming cartridges that are sure to put a smile on everyone’s face. The bolt body is robust and the floating bolt head aids in its excellent accuracy. So what you have is a backpack gun with ballistics that can take down elk and other large North American game. Both versions I’ve piloted were 6.5 Creedmoor.Īlso, for you hunters on the move, the Cross folds down to just a mere 25 inches. ![]() Different lengths, calibers and profiles, will be part of the Cross-adaptability landscape. the head spacing is also accomplished this way. The barrels utilize an AR-15 type barrel extension, which makes it lighter. If you’re a fan of user configurability, then you may be looking at your next bolt action. This moves improves feeding and allows for longer cartridges to be mag-fed. This type of design allows for controls familiar to an MCX/AR-15 platform it has an ambi thumb safety selector, user swappable pistol grips, and a skeletonized folding stock.Īnd while it would be easier to make the magazine an SR25 compatible version, SIG took the high road and made it AICS compatible. It’s best to think of it as a marriage of a MCX upper and lower in to one unit, redesigned as a bolt action instead of a semi-auto. The Cross is a bolt-action rifle, built on a lightweight and very strong one-piece receiver. SIG designed the gun as a hybrid, designed around a precision platform it looks like a precision rifle, yet performs just as well as a hunting rifle. SIG Cross Bolt-Action Rifle DetailsĪs SIG’s Patrick Hanley told our friends at, “Cross” has a specific meaning. The all-new SIG Cross certainly fits the bill, as it performs maybe better than originally intended. With all that brain power, and resources to back it, SIG can enter just about any segment it wants to, and nearly be assured a success every time that comes from designing an exciting and well-built end product.
