The SIG SAUER Cross delivers precision rifle performance in a lightweight, compact package that challenges traditional bolt-action design. This 6.5 Creedmoor rifle combines advanced materials with innovative engineering to create a hunting and precision shooting platform that weighs significantly less than comparable rifles while maintaining sub-MOA accuracy potential.
What Makes This Different
Unlike conventional bolt-action rifles built on steel receivers, the Cross utilizes a precision-machined aluminum receiver paired with a carbon fiber-wrapped stainless steel barrel. This construction reduces overall weight to just 6.5 pounds while maintaining the structural integrity needed for consistent accuracy. The folding stock design allows for compact transport and storage, making it 25% shorter when folded compared to traditional fixed-stock rifles.
