I glade finally others noticing this miss alignment issue in the rail T slots cutsJust so you are aware, some guys on here have been posting about rails being out of alignment with the barrel, causing a major shift in zero from what would be expected with a scope.
I’m surprised no one has come out with a carbon fiber handguard to lighten things up, keep it quieter and they aren’t nearly as cold in the winter.I glade finally others noticing this miss alignment issue in the rail T slots cuts
Sig solution I was offered is they want me to send back the complete rifle to be checked by their experts
I hope soon after market rails starts to come out and hopefully made of steel not cheap aluminum
Asr1
The handguard is half the reason I sold mine. Touching aluminum when you're hunting sucks during most hunting seasons.I’m surprised no one has come out with a carbon fiber handguard to lighten things up, keep it quieter and they aren’t nearly as cold in the winter.
Looks good! I went with the same straight ergo grip on mine.Did a little painting last week.

It’s not a rumor, they posted it on their social media pagesWhat are some aftermarket barrel options besides the schnees barrels? I heard a rumor proof is going to start making them
Some folks are working on it. Schnees guys supposedly have a prototype.Is that something that someone could reverse engineer and then manufacture?
I don’t know how you would know exactly what material needs to be used but the hardness isn’t hard to measure.
Or would that be breaking some sort of rule or patent?

You guys will most likely beat sig at their own game.We have some 3d printed mock ups, doing some legwork in working prototypes now. stay tuned
Mine is an IBI 20” barrel.What are some aftermarket barrel options besides the schnees barrels? I heard a rumor proof is going to start making them
Agree. I love my cross and have been waiting for the 277 to come out. I need this rifle to be my all around hunting rifle which the 6.5 Creedmoor doesn't do for me. It works excellent for hogs but will need a well placed shot for my elk hunts. The 277 solves this shortcoming with its ballistics. My final setup will hopefully include a 22 inch carbon barrel and then i can send it out to get a paintjob. i cant wait to reload the 277 with a max chamber pressure of 120k ft lbs.Maybe it's just me, but I find the original Cross to be an excellent light, short hunting rifle with great accuracy.... Once you make it long and heavier, and $1,000 more, I can't see the appeal at all vs an Origin/pre-fit or the existing PRS focused turnkey options in the same price range. Who's going to buy a PRS rifle that requires a special barrel extension that no one can reliably get, even 2 years after it came out?
I hope they still plan on putting out a long action Cross in the short and light format instead of the Cross-PRS style.
The cross would have been a home run with a mag bolt face and chambered in 6.5prc with a 20" barrelAgree. I love my cross and have been waiting for the 277 to come out.

Ummm the cross barrels already have the tapered shoulder so you don’t need the adapter between the cherry bomb and muzzle…but yes it’s not the most efficient.
That’s Kahles looks at home on top!!!Picked up a 6.5 Creed today on an impulse purchase. For anyone wondering- as it sits with Omega 30, Atlas CAL, and Optic, it weighed in at 11.4 lbs on the bathroom scale. Can’t wait to see how it shoots and I see this being a perfect youth gun as well for my boys when they start shooting.

You can definitely have option 3…for now but in its current 16” configuration the 308 with 168gr tipped MkZ’s is safely pushing 2650 fps and staying supersonic passed 1,000y easily…but that’s not what I’m using it for. I don’t really see the mag release location being an issue unless you’ve got obese fingers and are accident prone or super shaky in that case you’ve got no business being around firearms anyways The mag release location was actually a great idea for hunters…who are the primary target customers. As for the hinge design…it could have been better designed but I’m pretty sure someone will start making aftermarket parts soon enough. It’s really a simple mechanism that can be made by any machine shop that’s willing to entertain the idea. There’s already 2 manufacturers turning barrels for them. I should know I ordered a 6mmGT from one of them. The bolt face can be sleeved and a Sako style extractor can be installed…if you wanted it that badly. Not to mention…it shoots well for me. I think it’s a great addition to Sig’s lineup just simply because it’s not another action bolted into a chassis.Considered buying one today...
Really went and felt it out
1. The magazine release SUCKS. I really really don't want to put my finger inside the trigger guard to release the mag. Who thought this was a good idea? At least make an extended one that goes outside of the trigger guard. I get for hunting you don't want an unintended activation, but IDK, seems like it needs a solution to me.
2. The unfold button for the stock either requires some swing technique I don't know, or, it's a prime canidate to pinch the crap out of fingers or something. It's not great and I expect a revision at some point.
Other than that, looks good to me, but I just really doubt SIG's ability to wise up and ship extensions and other bolt heads to who ever wants them and really support the product. Which is nuts to be because it's instant money.
Oh, well.... 3. I want a SIG Cross SBR. 12" 308 or 8" 300blk. And I would absolutely consider doing a Form1 on one, if SIG would reasonably support the gun.

we're going to be testing the 8.6blk in one of our rigs soon. goal being to have a 12" one soon....

Do you have access to 3 twist barrels? If so I’d really love to buy one!we're going to be testing the 8.6blk in one of our rigs soon. goal being to have a 12" one soon.
#1 I would say the mag release is perfect for hunting. Any larger or outside the trigger guard and you risk having something release it for you while your hunting.
#2 the hinge definitely could be better, but it's not that bad.
I got around the stock hinge by setting it up as a left hand fold. When slung, I can depress the button with the heel of my left hand and simultaneously press down on the stock. Folds up pretty quick.Considered buying one today...

Those look good. I got my .308 out to 600 this past weekend. She was throwing the 175gr Federal GMM really well. 700 was a wash, cause the wind was all over the place and the round was outta gas and getting pushed around, but out to six she was surgical. I’m really happy with it, because I won’t be shooting at any animals past 400 anyways.Definitely agree on #1, the mag release is perfect the way it is, within the confines of AICS mag functionality; nothing to snag, difficult to accidentally actuate in use. I haven't personally had any issues with the hinge.
I had the cross at the range Monday trying a 143gr ELDX load that I had worked up quickly out at 300 yds and 500 yds in comparison to my established 130gr TGK load.
Five each, 143gr on the left and 130gr on the right, same hold dead on the 300 yd stadia.

I'm pretty happy with the results from a light-ish hunting rifle with hunting bullets on a bipod (bag in back) using a BCD holdover reticle in a 2-10x scope. The reticle only has holdovers out to 400 yds (as far as I intend to hunt with it), so I actually had to hold on the hanger bar at 500. The 143gr has more vertical than the 130gr, might tune it some more or just call it good for the ranges I'll use it for.
nope, hard passing on the 3 twist. just not necessary imo. testing a 6 twist which will work very will with a wide array of bullets/weights. will report back on it as we do some testing.Do you have access to 3 twist barrels? If so I’d really love to buy one!
