    New Sig CROSS

    I do really like it, I may look for something super light in the future and move this to more of a range rifle just due to weight though. I'm taking it to Colorado at the end of November for a last season mule deer hunt, so we will really see how it holds up to some hiking.

    New Sig CROSS

    I'm a rifle novice compared with most on this site and don't shoot a lot, maybe every other month or once a month when I have time (I have 420 rounds through mine thus far). Local range goes out to 300 yards and I've shot a bunch of 5 round groups from 100-300 that are in the 3/4 MOA range...

    New Sig CROSS

    Anyone heard rumors of when a 223 bolt face might become available?

    New Sig CROSS

    It come apart pretty easily, just take the time to knock out the roll pins on everything. The only thing that I didn't take out was the full trigger assembly. This is a picture of the disassembly that I do. As for a scope, I'm running the Athlon Helos BTR 2 in 4-20. I'm not a scope whiz...

    New Sig CROSS

    Yes, I used high heat paint for the barrel and the can, It's an easy way to keep a can looking new even its seen some heat.

    New Sig CROSS

    Had to break out the freedom stencils and do more painting over the weekend. Didn't come out the cleanest, but it does give good practice before moving to cerakote.

    New Sig CROSS

    I have pulled mine apart and painted it, It was very simple to do. I just wanted it to have some color and give me an idea for what I wanted to do with it as far as cerakoteing goes.

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Helos BTR GEN2 2-12x42 AHMR2 FFP IR MIL

    I ordered the 4-20 in late April and talked with Cameraland who called Athlon and asked the status. As of Tuesday the 22nd, sounds like they were a about a week from being put on a ship to head to the US. Then they have to clear customs, so the guess was about 4 weeks total. I'm hoping Late...

    I lusted for The Fix rifle; I just do not want the caliber I got.

    How did I just get lost in the nonsense and read 4 pages of this??

    New Sig CROSS

    Haven't heard that thus far. Ive shot mine with two different brakes and two different cans on those brakes. No accuracy change.

    New Sig CROSS

    I just went to the safe and tested mine. I couldn't budge it by hitting it with my hand. If I smashed it on the ground fairly hard hard on the butt pad, I could get it to skip one setting shorter each time I hit it (only tried twice because I like the rifle). That would be an exponential...

    New Sig CROSS

    The barrels use a barrel extension, so they are pretty well all pre fit. Dave Tooley has posted his barrels and pricing before, I'll attach a copy. It was 6 months ago so with the world the way it is, prices may have changed. I'm with you on the different bolt heads, I'm ready to start...

    JP barrel doesn't like Hornady Black?

    Thats an odd one, the Hornady Black ELD-M is the standard for sure in the grendel. I have rarely seen a barrel that doesn't shoot that load extremely well.

    Sig Cross vs Tikka CTR in Chassis

    I would think weight would be the deciding factor. The cross looks to be sorted out now, but I would think it will weigh a good deal less (maybe 1.5lbs?) than a Tikka in a chassis. That was the appeal to me for getting a cross. I'll be using mine as a hunting rifle tough, so I wanted the...

    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    You guys all know too damn much about AR's. Reading and learning. Just bought a 12" ARC barrel off the grendel/ARC forum and am ready to put some of this info to use.

    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    Good to see the 103 ELD-X for sale somewhere, hoping that shows up a bit more!

    FYI SIG Cross recall.

    Meh, hasn't stopped me from using the rifle. A single documented issue when a guy was intentionally trying to break the rifle does not concern me. The 2-4 weeks is new, but I like the rifle a lot so sending it back for that time is also not a concern. I always enjoy seeing how much people...

    FYI SIG Cross recall.

    Uh...ya, practice fundamental gun safety and it’s a non issue. Been shooting mine this whole time. So ya, sending it back for a week is a not a big deal.

    Sig Cross

    Read up on the sig thread, sounds like they are manufacturing replacement parts now. I have the 6.5 and love it, if you’re interested in one, I would simply wait a month or two and they should be back out. It’s a fun rifle, my opinion is wait for it.

    Athlon Helos gen2 2-12x42

    This thing is appealing for my next AR build. I'm torn between it and the Primary Arms SLx 3-18x50mm. Looking forward to some hands on reviews of the Athlon for sure.
