The designers designed the bolt handle in such a way that its curved shape leaves sufficient room for the hand to cycle the action. Because the rifle is designed as a multi-caliber rifle, as engraved on the receiver, the bolt head can be changed if necessary. T he Cross bolt locks into the barrel extension by means of three lugs with a 60-degree throw. SIG Sauer manufactures the barrels from rust-resistant stainless steel and adds a UNEF thread (5/8 x24) on the muzzle to accept a silencer or compensator. In 6.5 Creedmoor, the rifle has an 18-inch barrel and a 1:8" twist. 308 Cross comes with a 16-inch barrel, with a 1:10” twist. The matte black versions are priced at around 2,700 euros each, with the FLC finish costing an additional 330 euros. With the Cross, by the way, customers have the choice of whether they prefer to have the aluminum parts protected by a matte black hard anodized coating or an Armakote coating in brown and sand tones called FLC (First Lite Cipher). 277 Fury caliber developed by SIG Sauer itself and also offered in the USA, is not available there due to the lack of C.I.P. 308 Winchester caliber and, like the test gun, in 6.5 Creedmoor. In European countries, the Cross is currently only available in. Unlike the popular gas-operated rifle, however, the magazine release is located in front of the trigger guard.Ĭross with an AICS-compatible PMAG 5 magazine from Magpul that holds five The safety selector, which can be operated from both sides here, is also in the AR style. In addition, there is an M-Lok handguard in the form of an octagonal aluminum shroud around a free-floating barrel, as is found in principle on many ARs today. The AR was even the inspiration for the barrel removal system and you can use the same tools as on the AR-15. The Cross is fed from an AICS-compatible PMAG 5 from Magpul. On the other hand, the design of the receiver, including the magazine well itself, originates from the common ARs. Even the M4-style grip features the rough and very grippy texture on its sides, familiar from the grip modules of SIG Sauer pistols. Common to all variants of the Cross, for example, are the one-piece receiver (unlike the AR) and the folding stock, both machined from a forged aluminum block. But although there are parallels to the popular semi-automatic rifle, the Cross bolt-action rifle also brings some elements developed by SIG Sauer itself. On the other hand, there is also a huge range of accessories and tuning parts. On the one hand, even SIG has such models in its catalog. manufacturer deliberately based its design on the Black Rifle, which is more than common in its home country. I strongly recommend it, and I look forward to shooting it more in the future.The left side of the SIG Sauer Cross, you could mistake it for an AR.Īt first glance, the Cross resembles an AR-type rifle. I’ve got a lot of rounds down range with my Cross, and I love it. If you want to take it to some long range shooting, you absolutely can do it. While I wouldn’t call this the best long range rifle ever built, I would call it an outstanding hunting rifle with longer legs than most of us will ever need. LOOSE ROUNDSĪ SIG Cross isn’t a cheap rifle, but it is a good rifle. 70 MOA using 140gr ELDM bullets, H4350 powder, and Alpha Precision brass. With barely any load development, I’ve been getting. Most of my match shooting has been using handloads. Note I said 10-shot groups, these aren’t cherry-picked 3-round groups – this is a real representation of the rifle’s accuracy. With great factory ammo, I shoot about 1.2 MOA 10-shot groups. My rifle likes 140gr Hornady American Gunner pretty well but hates Sellier & Bellot 140gr. Lower-grade ammo can be really hit-and-miss with most of it missing. SIG Elite Hunter ammo is also a flavor that the Cross likes (normally.) Normally, Hornady ELDM and ELDX are pretty safe bets. As NutNFancy found out on YouTube, the first wave of Cross rifles had the ability to fire with the safety on “safe.” That is, obviously, very not good.
Let’s talk about the elephant in the room – while the Cross was released in 2020, it was quickly recalled due to a major problem with the safety.
