Attendees at this weekend’s SIG Freedom Days in Phoenix got the chance to check out the upcoming CROSS PRS built for out-of-the-box competition use.
SIG Pro Shooter Daniel Horner showed me his personal gun and gave me the chance to shoot a magazine through it. He had just picked it up the day before and only had seven rounds through it. It’s a hammer. At 15.4 lbs it’s not moving when you shoot.
It features 24″ barrel, enlarged safety, full-length removable steel ARCA rail and steel bag rider at the stock.
His rifle is equipped with a SIG Optics BDX 5×25 scope and SLHC Ti suppressor.
Coming soon for $2499 in 6.5 Creedmoor from SIG SAUER.
This is what the SIG Cross should have been all along. Assuming they fixed the Cross rifle trigger issues, having a light weight bolt gun with 24in barrel is on point. Hopefully will be available in .277FURY (Yes I am on the bandwagon)
Not sure I would consider a 15.4 pound 6.5creedmoor lightweight.
It’s a PRS gun
They should have designed this rifle to use Remington 700 triggers.
I wonder when the ARMY or Military as a whole is going to announce the SIG CROSS chambered in 6.8×51 as the new Sniper Rifle. I know Barrett won with the MK22 but the way military contracts are going these days I’m willing to bet it’s gonna happen.
They announced back in April the army selected Sig Sauer 6.8×51 or ” civilian 277 Fury”
