SIG is showing off the new CROSS Bolt Gun in 277 SIG FURY, a new caliber developed based on work on the US Army’s Next Generation Squad Weapon.
The cartridge case is a new 3-piece design with stainless steel head and brass body with an aluminum washer to hold the pieces together.
With velocities above 3000 fps, this is one you’re going to want to check out. The 277 SIG FURY offers about 25% more energy than 6.5 Creedmoor.
Looks like a really nice rifle and for only $1600 it is a lot of rifle for the money. .277 Fury looks like a rocket of a caliber and will be much more interesting if they are officially adopted as a US Army caliber.
I think Sig has a chance.
If for some reason the NGSW flops the Army could still use the case tech in 5.56 and 7.62.
