Featuring a quick-change barrel system, full-length ARCA rail, and an easy folding stock, the newest Cross rifle from SIG starts off in .300 Win Mag

The new model, some four years in development, brings magnum-class calibers to the Cross family of bolt-action rifles. While chambered in .300 Win Mag, at least for starters, SIG says the action length of the Cross Magnum is capable of cartridges as long as .300 PRC, hinting at the future. First introduced in 2019, Cross up until this week has only been available in 6.5 Creedmoor, .308 Winchester, and .277 SIG Fury.

The easy folding ridged jaw lock hinge system on the fully adjustable stock is handy when packing the rifle cross-country. Weight, sans optics and accessories, is 8 pounds.

Standard features include a free-floating handguard with full-length M-LOK slots and ARCA rail, a forward-angle PRS-style grip and right thumb rest safety, and a six-round AICS magazine. 


"The development of the Cross Magnum pushes the boundaries of innovation for a bolt-action platform and delivers on precision, power, and performance," said Tom Taylor, SIG's CMO and EVP for Commercial Sales. "Starting with the receiver design, the CROSS Magnum allows for easy barrel changes while keeping your scope and pic-rail mounted, adds a new folding hinge for easier, intuitive folding, better stock-retention and a stronger lock-up, includes a full-length ARCA and M-LOK rail for maximum tripod and bipod usability and adjustment in the field, while the integrated radial compensator design reduces the felt recoil of the magnum caliber by forty-five percent. The Cross Magnum is feature-rich, performance built, and ready for the hunt.”
