View thread Contact supportOld thread I know, but adding beta to this. I had same experience yesterday. New-to-me Cross, blindly threw a scope in a NF 20MOA unimount and headed to the range, and same experience.I mounted a NF ATACR 4-16x42 using a NF 20MOA Unimount, and promptly ran out of elevation adjustment while trying to zero at 100m (it's about 0.6 mil high). It definitely seems that these things have shipped with a 20 MOA rail, and not the 0 MOA that I assumed.
Have you run a 308 at shorter lengths with this brass? I was thinking 178s @ 2800-2900 from a 16" would be awesome.Build your own, its easy... I'm running the Sig hybrid cases resized in 6.5 CM, 308 Win, 358 Win, & 8.6 Blackout.
The cases can be sized and reformed to anything with a 308 case head.
6.5 CM runs 140 match over 3150 fps with hybrid cases.
308 Win runs 200 SMK at 2900 fps, with long barrel.
Running these in Remington 700 actions, and Ruger precision rifle.
Already made in volume, I have about 1500 or more cases....and they are right the accuracy is great a bit down from the top.
Example, 6.5 CM is accurate at 2990 fps with 150 SMK...no use pushing to over 3050 area, if ya lose accuracy.
My bolt guns are 22 to 30 inches.Have you run a 308 at shorter lengths with this brass? I was thinking 178s @ 2800-2900 from a 16" would be awesome.
What barrel length for the 6.5?
I searched AW and a $93 magazine came up. I'd rather run an AR10 mag. Duramag makes a mag for like $22 that holds 20 rounds. 20 round mags don't typically get in the way of anything in the prone. I have a couple bolt guns with special mags and sometimes when a magazine is missplaced it's hard to find a mag. But double feed is nicer than single feed on any rifle that will reliably feed a double feed mag. The single feed mags are a pain to load. I realize most bolt guns can't reliably feed from a double feed mag so it's not an option for a lot of rifles.Do you know what an AW mag is? Does everything you just described.
I featured my Cross in this video, if anyone is looking for inspiration on how to set one up!
I wouldn't call myself a trigger snob (Though I run exclusively Timneys and higher end TTs on my other guns). Never once have I shot my Cross and felt like it really needed an upgrade.I’ve been looking at a Cross-PRS just as a cheap plinker. Are the triggers on these respectable? It’s my main reservation about picking one up.
Did you happen to get stock barrel vs proof barrel weights?Finally got my Proof for my Cross. 18" 22 cm gonna be one hell of a truck gun.

Proof weighted 2lb 6oz and my stock 6.5 18" weights 2lb 12oz. The proof is way thicker than the stock barrel.Did you happen to get stock barrel vs proof barrel weights?
Anyone get their hands on one of the long action 300 win mag versions?
With the adjustable cheek riser, it will all come down to what height over bore you want. I’ve used both, and both have worked just fine. I would guess the majority would prefer rings to allow the scope to sit a little lower.What is the better option for mounting a scope to the Crosngs or a one piece base?
I had Vortex Pro Medium Rings and recently switched to a WARNE -XSKEL thinking it would be better. What has worked best for the group?
Both. If you mess with scope height in a ballistics app you can see it will have an impact on your trajectory. Nothing that can’t be accounted for with modern technology, so it’s mostly preference.@Bluedog82
Thanks you, I am trying to learn and appreciate the help. What is the benefit of the scope sitting lower? Is it shooter preference or to get the body as low to the gun for better body position, or is it scope elevation related?
Likely only on a new rifle until Sig puts it up for sale for an insane price.Hi there,
I am looking for a Sig Cross a TRAX handguard.
Any idea where I can find one?
Thx
Hey- Where did you get the round bolt knob? Looks like it would fit the hand well.Finally got my Proof for my Cross. 18" 22 cm gonna be one hell of a truck gun.

It was sold briefly on their site, obviously it's gone now. Best bet if that doesn't come back is an extended model from Made Rifle.Does anyone know where you can buy the paddle mag release lever (as they put on the PRS and STX models)? Seems like they would sell those like they do the upgraded safety selectors.
Its just off an old sterk knob i had for a tikka. Had to grind the bolt a little to make it fit but i like it alot more than the factory knob.Hey- Where did you get the round bolt knob? Looks like it would fit the hand well.
Thanks. I saw those and may need to get one. Was just thinking that I may be able to get the paddle a bit cheaper (Sig sells their upgraded selector switch fairly reasonably). The paddle mag release should be standard on all of them. The baseline releases are a pain in the finger (literally)!It was sold briefly on their site, obviously it's gone now.

Cool. I think I may have one of them laying around in my parts box from a Tikka build. Those are just about perfect for operating.Its just off an old sterk knob i had for a tikka. Had to grind the bolt a little to make it fit but i like it alot more than the factory knob.
Maybe check out Murphy Precision, they might have a titanium base but not sure it will be lighter than aluminum just stronger.View attachment 8464309View attachment 8464328
Some tripod shooting practice with the Cross. Big fan of the Arca handguard.
Does anyone have any recommendation for a lightweight scope base? I don't mind the MDT rings, but I'd like to try a lightweight base instead.
Tier One 30mm height or Spuhr's SCP-3001. Warne's precision unimount is a good option. That's what I'm running on my Cross.View attachment 8464309View attachment 8464328
