New Sig CROSS

Second season for me hunting with the Cross. It packs small, is easy to carry and shoots well, but there are many better choices for precision rifle.

I'd agree, it's a good hunting rifle with some adjustability and features that make it a good generalist as well, but hopefully no one was thinking a 6.5lb shorter barreled rifle was going to be equivalent to 23lb, long barreled PRS rigs for that kind of gaming.
 
Took my Cross out for elk and deer in CO's 2nd rifle season. Connected with both! Muley at 307, elk at approximately 275. I forgot to grab the rifle for the deer pic. He was quartering away pretty hard so while the entry was spot on, that is the exit you can see in front of his shoulder. Also did a photo shoot because it's just a damn good looking gun.

edit: Thought it was worth adding that the little buck was shot through his rear left ankle when he approached me so I put him out of his misery. The leg injury was not Cross related lol.

Anyone with a 6.5 have some rough CBTO measurements? Doing some quick loads with a 123gr SST so I can hunt with it this next week while I'm off. I usually do the wheeler method but couldn't find anything on getting the ejector out of the bolt head and I don't want to be the first to try it :oops:
 
As well as a Magnum bolt head. The bolt heads swap so easy. No idea why they aren't jumping all over this 6.5 PRC Hype Train
Someone here had mentioned that the cross won't support a magnum bolt face as the barrel wall would be too thin around the chamber. I don't personally know, but I remember it mentioned way earlier in the thread.
 
Dave Tooley said it wasn’t strong enough for a magnums earlier in this thread. I would love one in PRC also, but probably not in the cards. Looking at the bolt, I am sure he’s right, there isn’t a lot of room to grow the bolt face.
