Cross STX grip upgrade and range report

[TacticalPlinker]

Ergo vertical grip feels excellent to a medium sized hand over the factory offering. Added palm swell and soft rubberized finish is the shizzel.

I want to change my Cross grip to the "soft rubberized" grip just not the zero angle style. Are the Cross grips the same as a standard AR-15/10 grip?
After this year white tail deer season the Cross has moved to the top of my hunting rifle list.

How is the STX in general? enjoying the rifle?

I love the thing. It fels like a bolt action SR25 . So far with only break in rounds of 140gr S&B ball ammo its been a very nice purchase. I'm shooting for groups in a week or so. I'll update accordingly.

Range day conditions were less than ideal . High winds and low temps. It was the first after initial break in period.

Shooting Berger 140 Hybrids (factory loads) I managed to print .65 to .75" five shot groups despite the strong gusts and 38 degree ambient temps. The real limiting factor other than my skillset was the G2h reticle. Clearly too thick for groups. But great for its intended roll as a long range hunter. Planning on throwing on an NX8 4-32 when funds free up. Measured 2706 FPS @ Muzzle.

Thank you. Just changed it out and love it. I put a Griffin Arm. Explorr taper mount can, and a Vortex Hog Hunter 2 4-12 on it. That is my new absolute favorite white tail deer gun. I don't get into load development or anything like that. I shoot 165g Hornady SST.
