Would you be willing to share the .STL file? I'm going to start printing my own carbon fiber mags at some point this spring.My son and I designed a follower for the cross. I couldn’t stomach the extra cost of the Magpul mag from sig for the extra cost. Now, I have converted some other mags so I can single feed if I have to.
If anyone is interested, my son will print and mail for small cost.My son and I designed a follower for the cross. I couldn’t stomach the extra cost of the Magpul mag from sig for the extra cost. Now, I have converted some other mags so I can single feed if I have to.
Still hoping in this rifle…Hello BELLYCRAWL
I have the same issue with my Sig Cross after zero @ 100 YRD
I only have 4.5 mil left windage usable
8 mill right windage usable almost complete turn of the turret
Using 34 mm scope Burris XTR ii
The same scope I removed from Ruger Precision Rifle was almost center for windage value L and R.
I send email to Sig and back and forth on the emails they want me to send it back but I am still against that.
Just to help you try this might work might not
Normally when we mount scope ring we always butt them FWD against the slots on the rail to prevent recoil moving the scope when all tightened up
Try to split the distance between the rail slots and have the rings cross pin or screw in the middle between 2 rail slots and see if you gain anything
Please all of you experts don’t hold that against me if I miss explained just trying to help based on a case I run to in the past
I run to a case on a different rifle and it worked perfect that rifle was very low recoil. Did not care much about replacing the rails Becuse it was not machined correct center
Regards
What do you need to know?Can you talk about the bbl extension
What does it weigh now? Where did you get the heavy steel barrel?Installed a new barrel today. 24” heavy. Looks weird on a cross but I can’t wait to shoot it.
There was talk earlier they were hard to find or scavage, so just wondering how you sourced it and what wrench used etc.
Apologies if this is dumb Qs !
Mine is the original like M4’s. I used a DMPS AR wrench on the extension nut and a 12 point 1-1/6 box end wrench on the barrel nut. I ended up changing the barrel nut to a longer one to install the barrel the way I wanted to.There was talk earlier they were hard to find or scavage, so just wondering how you sourced it and what wrench used etc.

I don’t have a scale handy but she’s a porker. Especially with the Gen II on it. I’m less concerned with weight than I am length. This way I can fold the stock and it’s not too long for my pack.What does it weigh now? Where did you get the heavy steel barrel?
In my opinion this is classic Sig. Promise the world and never fully deliver. Who knows when or if ever all of their hype over the Cross will ever come to fruition.So how do we get cross to be multi bbl? Is SIG not providing support if you want eg 2 cals or profiles? IE working at same time?

I’m considering picking one up for hunting. Suggestions on the 6.5 vs .308 given short barrel? What lightweight scopes are people leveraging on this? I would like to keep it as light as possible while still having decent optics.
For hunting at close to middle distances, I would probably vote for the .308. I mainly shoot targets to 1000 yards, so I picked up one in 6.5 CM.I’m considering picking one up for hunting.

I'm using the NF NXS 2.5-10x42. I tried a few different "lighter" scopes I had lying around and eventually bit the bullet and bought the NF. I think it's the perfect match for the gun.I’m considering picking one up for hunting. Suggestions on the 6.5 vs .308 given short barrel? What lightweight scopes are people leveraging on this?

I did briefly put on a NF 2.5-10x24 on it and thought it was a good match as well. At least at distances at 800 yards or less.I'm using the NF NXS 2.5-10x42.

That's pretty much exactly where I am with mine. My "real" purpose for the rifle is hunting shots out to 400 or so. At my place I have steel out to about 800 that I shoot just for fun, and that's about as far as I shoot the Cross on a regular basis.I did briefly put on a NF 2.5-10x24 on it and thought it was a good match as well.

I only switched because I wanted greater magnification for the distances I planned on target shooting.
Vortex had not yet released the 4.5-22x50 FFP or I probably bought it, as it would be a better fit for my purpose.

The barrel is from International Barrels. This is pretty much a Tikka prefit barrel. The barrel nut I used is also for a Tikka prefit. Tikka and Sig use the same thread size, 1”x16 TPI.
Sorry man, been burned by that in the past.Will you post the .stl on a site like Thingiverse so those of us with printers can print it? I've been meaning to design a copy of the Sig follower myself, but haven't had time.
That's very interesting, so a Tikka barrel nut pre-fit and a standard barrel mated up to the cross barrel extension and fit under the receiver nut/handguard with no issue? Was it hard getting the barrel nut loose from the extension? I would really like to try a 7mm-08 or 7mm-08 AI barrel in my Cross, maybe snagging a Tikka pre-fit would be the easy button. Something like Cross in .22 GT would probably bea hoot too.
The nut from IBI fits however I ordered a barrel for the Cross from them. Looking at the specs I don’t see why a Tikka pre-fit won’t fit the Cross. I would call IBI to confirm that. I called them regarding the nut and they confirmed that theirs would fit. Getting the extension off was a piece of cake with a barrel vise.Will you post the .stl on a site like Thingiverse so those of us with printers can print it?

How would you get burned, it's a copy of a Sig follower anyway? Do you ever print stuff you pulled off of Thingiverse for your own use? If so, somebody bothered to posted those .stl's up. I should be able to draw something up and get it posted at some point anyway I guess.Sorry man, been burned by that in the past.
I got burned by putting it on there, then someone downloading it, and printing it for profit without changing a thing.How'd you get burned?

Any chance you could make some followers that fit the footprint of an AICS mag?I got burned by putting it on there, then someone downloading it, and printing it for profit without changing a thing.
I love thingiverse and print off of there all the time. However I do not print anything off of there for profit.
Any mag in particular? This one is for the Magpul AICS. I have an mdt and it looks stamped closed so I’m not sure if I can open it up to change out the follower I’ll look at it more though.Any chance you could make some followers that fit the footprint of an AICS mag?

I'll start working on it. I must have not looked at it too close. it looked like the bottom plate was going to be a pain to remove so I set it aside. I prefer these mags in my other rifles so I'll put it high on my list to dissect.AICS style metal mags come apart with the floor plate by sliding the floor plate forward.

Manual states 40ftlbs on the barrel nut. Didn't see anything about the jam nut. But I wouldn't hesitate to use 60+ on the jam nut.Can anyone share the torque values for the Cross barrel nut and barrel extension jam nut?
I received my Schnee's 6 creed barrel and would like to start stacking some hogs and dogs tomorrow.
Thanks in advance
The ramp serves pretty much one purpose and that is when you are single feeding a round. I run a mdt in mine without issues but if I single feed, it will not chamber.I’m just about to get a SiG Cross up and running with 6.5 CM and was very drawn to the nice ramp on the follower supplied with the factory (PMAG) mag. Sounds like any AICS PMAG will do, but that ramped follower just seems to be the cat’s meow for slick feeding in all varieties of bullets and conditions, especially cold weather coyote hunting. New Mexico offers up a nice mix of both cold and dusty environs to test the best of rifles.
Nice! I’ve got plenty of MDT mags on hand and it’s good to know they’ll feed as well. The weight and balance characteristics of the Cross are very compelling. Sometimes yote hunting in my backyard involves lots of shoe leather express work, so very much a player. Be very interested in what sort of precision reach this rifle is capable of. A buddy and me have been deadly effective out to the 400ish mark recently with heavier set ups.The ramp serves pretty much one purpose and that is when you are single feeding a round.
