[Schnee's]

Are there any .308 barrels not spoken for yet?

yep! give us a call to reserve one. 800-922-1562.

Shot my first NRL Hunter match over the weekend, and it was my first with the carbon barrel cross...it did not disappoint. That rifle + the KILO10K together helped me shoot the best I ever have in a match. - Matt

6.5cr = 2660 with 140gr ELDM's
338 Fed = Approx 2550 with 210gr Partitions

My 20" 6.5 barrel sped up a bit. Now going 2690 with 140's. At about 200rnds. - matt

Heads Up:
Just got a shipment in, there are a few 6.5x47 and .243 barrels available.

What are the barrel lengths and twist rates? Interested in the x47. 22" perhaps?

Would it be possible to get a 6.8 western barrel?

Sure, but it won’t do you any good. 6.8 western requires a magnum bolt face and at this time, that’s not an option for the cross.

From initial talks with gunsmiths and some folks at SIG, it was not recommended. This is because there isn't a lot of "meat to work with.' Looking around the edges of the bolt face, you can see it is already relatively thin. A replcement bolt face is a better option i think and something we are also looking into. I'd love to put a 7SAUM in these things.. - Matt

I know that y'all have been a little busy, but any more info on this? I read some conversation over on SnipersHide suggesting that the Cross might be too thin where the barrel and receiver join to support a magnum chambering. Any truth to that?

Thin? The bullet seats into the barrel so I'm not sure this is true. Semi auto sure but on a bolt gun the barrel and bolt/stops take the force.

I communicated that poorly-I think the concern was that the the magnum chamber would thin out the barrel walls too much for safe operation.

It's not all about bolt thrust if that is what you are alluding to, there is hoop strength to deal with as well. Tenon diameter matters. A Sig Cross if I'm not mistaken is a 1" dia tenon. Not much wall thickness for a magnum chambering. Sounds like asking for headaches.

And if you tell me it threads into and extension and that will make it stronger, sorry it doesn't work quite that way. It may help to keep you from blowing yourself up in an over-pressure situation but it won't help you from having brass issues and the resultant clickers from too small of a tenon for the pressure.

 

[khuber84]

The cross operates on an extension that's threaded onto the barrel tenon, similar to an AR barrel. Yes the tenon od is smaller than standard 1-1/6" remington, but tikkas run 1" shank as do ruger American. They're all available in magnums. I've tikkas up to pretty high velocity in short magnums without much issue. I think you'll have problems with the bolt lugs/barrel extension holding psi vs the shank diameter.

Just a heads up, we got a fresh batch of barrels in. Many are already spoken for, but currently we have the following available, although I expect them to go quickly:

308-16"-1:10T-Sendero
308-20"-1:10T-Sendero
6 Creed-20"-1:8T-Sendero
6.5 Creed-18"-1:7.5T-Sendero

Dang, that 20" 308 went fast. Any guesses on the next round?

 

[AkRyan]

Can we order from carbon 6 or you? Having to get what's available is kinda a pita

Just give us a call, we can order whatever, whenever. The barrels on our website are just the ones we try and stock.. but they sell out quickly. 800-922-1562

They did go fast. More are supposed to be coming in a few weeks
