So I already can guess what the hide community will think about this one, but my local gun store has the ability to get me a new Sig cross 6.5 Creedmoor for a decent price with the LEO discount. $1400 out the door.
I personally just think they look great and I like the design features, folding stock, 60 degree throw, 3 lug bolt, and ability for the end user to be able to change the barrels easily. Coming from the AR world that familiarity is a draw too. But I want to get a bolt gun to shoot long-distance with and get into some local ish competitions. I’ve never done any formal PRS type shooting before. Match ammo is obviously available, not cheap but available. And I do reload already so that won’t be an issue if I want.
Clearly the major con would be it’s lightweight rifle and it shoots a 6.5 Creedmoor, which makes recoil management and the ability to see trace, harder compared to 6mm guns.
I don’t hunt so it’s really it’s only purpose will be a fun range or comp use gun.
So is this decent idea or just a misguided direction for my funds? Thanks
