Sig Sauer Cross Trigger Issue

Online it says $1500, is that what it was?

Cross Mono Pod

I picked up one of these and tried it out this morning:

It was stable shooting off a bench, unlike a rear bag your'e not maintaining tension, so your grip doesn't change. Quick adjustments can be made by angling the mono pod. Not for everyone, just another tool to consider and it does add about 7 oz when attached.

Never been a fan of rear mono-pods. I guess it's better than nothing if you don't have a bag.

Now that a lot of folks have their Cross back from the recall. We are starting to see more load development and smaller group sizes. 41.5 grains seems to be a good powder weight for 6.5 CM with 140 gr bullets using either H4350 or RL16.

Check out SH if you want to see their range results. But the rifle does seem to be capable of shooting .4-.5” groups off a bipod with the powder loads described above. The .308 crowd is getting good results as well.

Still don't see any of the rifles in shops. I'm not ordering something that expensive, and variable in quality, online.

Guess I am a little confused by your post. It sounded like you are leaning towards high end rifles like MPA, that guarantee group sizes. Why would you consider a Cross which is $2k dollars less, an expensive rifle. Given your own opinion of it’s quality, I am shocked that you would consider owning one at all.

My trigger locks half way between safe and fire after it came back from Sig recall fix.

I have fire, safe? and safe. Anyone else having this issue?

No issues, my old trigger finger press gauge unofficially feels like the trigger is a bit stiffer on the new post recall trigger than the original. This is with the adjustment bottomed out to the lowest setting.

How many pounds does your old finger gauge say?

I just did the paperwork for my Cross!

Did anyone consider a muzzle break, and if so, what did you get and your review?

[sigstroker]

Which cartridge?

Muzzle Brake

I just did the paperwork for my Cross!

A couple of popular ones are the little bastard brake from precision arms and the hellcat from area 419. Both of these are self timing brakes. I own the little bastard on mine in 6.5 CM.

You might want a review from someone with a .308 because it will be different, but both brakes work. Mine is great when your behind it, not much recoil. But if your off to the side, you do get some muzzle blast.

As a side note, the Cross is coming with a 20 MOA rail from the factory.

I bought one of the inexpensive wheeler trigger pull gauges recently. The gauge on several attempts puts the new updated trigger at the lowest setting with the adjustment bottomed out at 2.5 lbs.

Area 419

Area 419 Hellfire 2P is what I put on my 308. Love it!

Sorry, I meant Hellfire not Hellcat in my previous post.
