Anyone turned a SIG Cross into a 22 CM

I’m exploring the option of turning my wife’s 6.5 CM sig cross into a 22 CM. There’s nothing wrong with the 6.5 and it’s only been shot about 100 rounds so far but she’s really come to like the small recoil from my 22-250. It’s obvious that she shoots the 250 better too.

I’m going to eventually switch to the 22 CM in my Tikka, so I figure switching her rifle first will be a good excuse to buy quality brass and dies.

I was looking into buying a prefit from PBB or maybe buying a quality blank and having a local smith do the chambering. Right now it’s about $100 difference so no big deal either way. Thinking a 1:7.5 twist and going about 20-22 inches. It’ll be suppressed with a TBAC U9 or Banish 30.

Just looking for someone’s experience that might have already done this. Anything you would have done different?

Check out straight jacket arms, they seem to be heavily invested in the cross.

I ordered a blank from PBB a few months back. Got a 1:7.5 twist 22inch barrel and had my smith ream it.

How do you like it? I have Straight Jacket doing me a Cross in 6.5CM & 7Saw but I saw Proof has 22CM prefits now for the Cross.

I haven’t got a chance to shoot it. Hopefully this weekend. But right now it’s weighing in at 10.8 lbs. I think it’ll be great for my wife to shoot and have minimal recoil.
