Sig Cross Magum 300WM released

[Larry100]

Just trying to get everyone’s initial thoughts on the gun. At 8.9lbs dry would you take it on a mountain hunt ?

I was excited for sig to release this gun in more calibers. But the weight makes me question my interest.

I’m personally not interested. Too heavy for a mountain gun. Plus the comments I’ve heard about the cross in general arent that great.

A 6.5 prc would have made me give it a serious look.

I’m pretty interested but I’m not seeing a definitive price yet. Any info on pricing? I have a feeling it will be pushing over $2k……if that’s the case I’m probably out.

Still intrigued by these as a value folding chassis gun. However, the bare gun weighs as much as my tikka 300 WM topped with an nx8. Tough to justify if you are counting ounces IMO.

 

[zrodwyo]

that is in the realm of appropriate weight for a .30 cal magnum.

That is crazy they chambered in .300 wm??? Wth…

my fully scoped regular Seekins PH2 in 300 wm weighs less. Im not a weight weenie, but wouldn't want to be humping that at 12000 feet. I will say its kinda fun that they chambered it in 300wm.

I can't remember where I saw it, but they are saying it'll be around the $2500 MSRP and that the action is long enough for 300 PRC and the barrels swap easier. I think this'll end up being more of a "value-minded" (and I use that term loosely) person who doesn't want to fork over Barrett MRADs money. If this thing came wiht a sendero light carbon barrel it'd be more attractive to me.

Regarding the current Sig Crosses. I have one in 6.5 cm and it's absurd how accurate it is. I know they crapped the bed on the initial rollout, but it's been a solid performer for me. I wish I would have gotten it in a .308 and it's a bummer that Sig hasn't released the .277 fury barrels (part only) yet.

I would call Sig and ask how much the barrel weighs. When proof comes out with a carbon barrel that will probably save you a pound

 

[Larry100]

With around $2500 price for this and a new barrel in the ball park $500-$900…we’re getting a little out of hand price wise for this.

I was disappointed to see the weight gain. Short-action crosses are multiple lbs lighter. I am still hoping we get to see short mag caliber crosses with weights similar to the .308 and 6.5 versions.
