Recall

Thank you for your review. Yea, it's a hassle to deal with any recall.

Yeah there is the hassle of stripping a rifle after it’s been dialed in. But the bigger frustration is Sig not willing to take the time to state what they are changing.

One person on SH said the trigger felt worse in dry firing, but he didn’t try readjusting it at all. Update is that after adjustment, the trigger post recall feels the same.

So I would like to hear back from a few more people once they have their rifle back. I did receive information on how to remove the trigger module. I haven’t tried it my self, but thought it would be handy to know how.

If anyone wants the instructions send me a PM. I can’t vouch for them, but they make sense, and are pretty much what I expected. Here is a photo of the Cross trigger module:

Update: I received my rifle back from Sig today. With shipping to the West Coast it took a week plus each way, but only 4 days for Sig to do the work before sending it back.

The trigger module was swapped out, because my trigger adjustment mark was not there. I had asked for the old parts, but Sig no surprise did not return them.

It does appear the sear which is seen through the slot in the chassis below the bolt is different. The trigger after a small half turn adjustment does feel the same as it did prior to the return.

The safety if moved slowly from off to on with the bolt closed, does have a slight detent like feel (around 60 degrees) that was not noticeable prior to the recall.

If you move the safety normally, typical speed and effort after a shot, I really don’t notice the detent. It does go away completely with the bolt open. This is a non issue for me on my rifle. The safety can be re-engaged without any problem.

Hopefully they'll have gen2 out shortly and I can pick one up. I don't hunt, but I like the idea of a light, somewhat compact bolt action rifle in 6.5 crd.

How does it shoot wrt accuracy?

I'm interested in one because it's got a lot of attributes of a Scout Rifle -light, powerful, and compact. The folding stock make it more compact than the Steyr. If someone rigs up a switch-barrel setup, that would be so much better.

I shot sub moa 5 shot group the first time I had it out. Hornady Eld 140gr. If I remember the group was .758. using a Nikon buckmaster 6-18*40. Mine shoots better than I do.

Now on the other hand my uncle got one also and swears it's terrible. I haven't seen it in person, but he's competed in PRS and has some high end stuff. He's very picky, and I trust him.

Lots of other people have had good experience, including myself

For a PRS guy .758 might be considered terrible.

MPA's are guaranteed .5 inch I think. A lot of PRS guns are better. Not saying that's bad, just saying maybe your uncle thinks it's bad.

MPA’s are great rifles, but they sell in $3500-$3700 dollar range compared to $1500 for the Cross. True a lot of PRS specific rifles do shoot better, but they are not 7 lbs. They typically add weight and come in at 12-18 lbs.

People don’t have to like the Cross, it has limited appeal, but you are getting a lot for the money. Take off an inexpensive Harris bipod and lock it in a lead sled on a bench and I bet you will see groups close to half an inch.

You're not hearing what I'm saying. Your uncle said it was terrible, right? Maybe to him .7 is terrible because he's used to better.

My MPA BA in 6.5 came with 1/3 MOA guarantee.

If you're used to shooting a 1 hole rifle, anything less will seem subpar.

Lamborghini or Toyota

I understand the analogy, and I agree that if I drove a $1,000,000 car, I wouldn’t feel happy being forced to drive a Toyota Corolla.

My point was the Cross is a particular tool at a certain price point, and I think it comes with a good barrel. But you can’t fairly compare it to high end systems with a specific purpose for twice the cost. I don’t see how that contributes to a discussion of the trigger recall.

If some one is getting.75” groups, I would say that’s typical, some may do better and get .5” groups and that would be great. That’s my opinion from shooting the rifle. The fact that you may not be happy with .75” groups from any rifle, can be your standard, it’s all good.

These are showing up on websites for sale in 6.5, haven't seen any in .308 yet.
