The distance to a target detected by the rangefinder is transferred to the BDX Riflescope where the holdover is calculated and a precise point of aim rendered in the form of an illuminated reticle-dot on the vertical axis.Īfter setting up targets at 100 and 650 yards, it was time to shoot. Used correctly, the rangefinder and optic are wirelessly connected. The SIG Cross we tested included a SIG SAUER BDX riflescope and rangefinder combination. With an accurate wind call, we expected good, repeatable results. In the world of precision shooting, conditions like ours are average at worst. Our Cross experience began on a mild Saturday morning with a beginning temperature at 70 degrees Fahrenheit and manageable wind consistently blowing at 10 mph and gusting to 15 mph from 9 o’clock. With several of us shooting the SIG Cross during a range event at the iconic Triple C Shooting Range, the stock’s LOP and comb-height adjustability were more than welcomed-all adjustments were quick and on-the-fly easy.īefore our final range day at Triple C, we had the opportunity to run the SIG Cross at our official Hook & Barrel Testing facility deep in the heart of the Kiamichi Mountains, near Honobia, in Southeast Oklahoma. The trigger is adjustable from 2.5-4.5 lbs.-the trigger on our test rig broke crisply between 2.5-3 lbs., on average at 2.75 lbs. The Creedmoor we tested weighed 6.8 pounds, and overall length was 38.5 inches. The bolt knob was nicely sized to mitigate snagging or uncomfortable carry via a sling, and the short bolt-throw makes for both pleasant cycling and more rapid follow-up shots. To close out fit and form here, it’s worth noting the Cross features AR-style controls but with a bolt-action. barrels and 6.5 Creedmoor rigs come standard with 18-in. 308 (in black and FLC finish options) and another 6.5 Creedmoor in black. We tested the 6.5 Creedmoor Cross Model 65-18B-FLC with a First Lite Cipher ArmaKote finish however, the Cross is currently available in five additional models: two each chambered in. What it lacks in weight and length, it makes up for in badassery everywhere else.Īs a short list of features, the SIG SAUER Cross boasts a SIG Precision chassis and folding Stock stainless steel, threaded, match-grade barrel two-stage match trigger polymer AR-style grip and a precision-machined, M-LOK-style, alloy handguard. Honestly, I don’t see or feel a single component of the rifle that suggests SIG took any shortcuts in the Cross. While it doesn’t look like any of my hunting rifles or long-range rigs, we do get that same feeling from the SIG SAUER Cross without the weight or length-a match-worthy barrel, premium finish, and precision-machined components. Of course, most of our long-range rigs are, well, on the long side, too-take, for example, a precision rifle with a 26-in. There is no denying the warm and fuzzy feelings we get when we feel the heft of a match-grade barrel and the textured finish of the precision-machined chassis it sits in. Like many premium precision rifles, feel speaks volumes. Sig Sauer CROSS Chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor.
