...and I feel a bit ridiculous about it.

Got it for a stupid good deal (40% of retail) through a well connected friend in the hunting industry. God help me it’s chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor to make it worse.

Haven’t shot it yet. Certainly is different.

Let the mocking begin.

Maybe it will be a good thing - when you chase elk this year they might just die laughing when they see what your are packing laugh
Kidding - looks like it should work just fine and hope to see you post up with it over some dead critter!

I have the same rifle. I bought it from a friend who also had a Q Fix and didn’t need both. So far, I really like it. My folder locks up tight and the gun has shot very well with factory Hornady. People bitch about the recall, it the gun checked a lot of boxes for me. Also, I believe Dave Tooley is spinning up barrels for it

I picked up one in .308 at Cabela's when they came out. I like it, I found a decent load easily with 168gr BTs in spite of the component shortage and managed to knock over an antelope with it last year.

I get bored with .308s and found a guy with a 6.5 who wanted to swap barrels, so we did. It was super easy, just like swapping an AR barrel except without needing to line up a gas tube slot. I found a decent load with 140gr Gold Dots, and the Cross actually does well with 142gr ABLR and 127gr LRX loads that I worked up for my Montana.

It's not something I'd buy, but if it works for you, that's all that matters. You can't argue with the accuracy that Gtscotty posted. Unless he shot those at 25 yards...... smile

Exactly what I think everytime I see some blued steel with a tree corpse bolted to it, but as you said, to each their own.

25 yards is too long for me, I do my best work 10 and in.

Looks like a chassis with a folding stock? Seems like nice platform.

I'm excited to learn how this one goes.

And when the 6 Creedmoor (and maybe the 22 Creedmoor) will follow. blush

No shade - I want one but haven’t found one. Among the trad guns there is always room for something new. Keep sharing what that rig does.

No one else seems to want to make a rifle that checks all the boxes:
- Light-ish weight
- Short barrels threaded appropriately for cans
- Excellent accuracy
- Long mag boxes (AICS)
- Enough stock adjustment to perfectly fit pretty much anyone
- Reasonable price for us poors

-Easy barrel swaps is also a plus (although Tooley is the only one I've heard of turning barrels for the Sig thus far)

I'd prefer a safety that locks the bolt, but, I decided that all the Pros overcome that con.

My rifle is part of the recall, so I'll be sending it in when the return box from Sig gets here.

It looks like a receiver in chassis rifle, but the receiver is actually integral to the chassis/frame. The folding stock locks up solidly.

Nothing I'd be interested in... old dog, new trick thing but whatever scratches your itch is fine by me!
