Sig Cross vs Tikka CTR in Chassis

[zekers7]

Well given the current market prices I'm debating parting from my MRAD. I LOVE it but when they are going for the current prices... between the rifle, caliber conv, and 300 NM ammo that's never shot, I have over 10k sitting in a rifle that's shot a few times per year max.

Question is:
Tikka CTR 6.5 in a KRG Chassis or look into a sig cross? Or am I totally crazy and should just hang onto the MRAD

sig cross has recalls goin on from day 1, id stay away until it squared up. there is a thread about it etc

if you plan on lightening your load send me a PM on your ammo and price

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 lighter weight. But I like everything to start out light, adding weight is easy should it be needed.

I am considering the same thing. I have a Tac A1 which comes with a super heavy chassis. Either going to order a Sig Cross or change chassis to XLR Magnesium for approx $600 w/folding stock option

Tikka if it were my money

I’ve had a couple of CTR’s and now have a Cross. The Tikka is the easy answer. That being said, I really like my Cross. The weight savings is nice and the cross shoots just as good.

IMHO keep the MRAD or regret it later. It will likely be worth more next year, and possibly worth more than that to you. AND buy the Tikka.

☝Why not do both?

My 6.5 ctr in a krg X-ray shoots lights out. I don’t have any experience with the cross.

You can’t evenly compare the cross to a CTR. Not fair to the Sig

Tikka all the way. A proven quality rifle.

SIG has burned too many customers with their experimentation and lack of parts availability and support.
