Great job on the video! I too purchased the Cross in .308. I set mine up with a Steiner T536 5X Prism Scope... love it! The outdoor range I go to has targets in 100-yard increments out to 600 yards. I'm only an average shooter and I have no problem striking the different size steels, even at the longer distances. Great rifle!!
I have the same setup( rifle and scope) except a silencerco asr muzzle break. Shooting Norma 150 soft point deer rounds, I was getting consistent 5/8" groups. I'm incredibly happy with the rifles performance. Can't wait to get a suppressor for it.
Excellent video. I sure do miss being out there with you and throwing lead in the beautiful Sonoran desert mountains. That sub ammo is very impressive brother. I'll have to look into some
308 is a great round , I have had my Sig -cross with Leupold 5HD scope for about 5 months , extremely please with the rifle , about month ago I got a cow elk @ 189 yard in Jensen Utah in snowy day very cold condition .. love the rifle .. but I have had issues with cheaper factory ammunition ( 3 misfire ) But with good quality ammunition nothing stops this rifle ..
Probably the best review I’ve seen on this rifle. You touch on the ammo gr/brand, then move on to shooting. Other than that round you pulled, that shot group top right was good from a 16 inch barrel.
Fantastic video. Grateful for your content. Id like to buy the .308. Such a useful platform for pack hunting. Sorta wish they had equipped the .308 w an 18” barrel for a touch more velocity. Curious if you wouldn’t mind commenting on the group sizes of the subsonic ammo you used. This rifle makes a great subsonic host imo. (If accurate). Thank you!!
It just depends on what you want to shoot. It’s a light weight gun, so I would keep the optic small to save weight. A 10x would be a good balance of decent magnification, and not being to big and additional weight.
@codykelly8870 I love them both but the creedmoor will be my main hunting rifle. Also I have the hybrid46 and omega36m that evo and its lighter weight make the sig cross even more awesome.
@JD Rambro whats throwing me off is the barrel length. Usually prefer 308 but use to 308 having a longer barrel then 16 and 6.5 longer then 18. Either seem more accurate then the other?
@codykelly8870 they are both accurate I got a deer at about 250yds with the 308, from now on the creed will be my go to. I took all the different ammo I have for both rifles and ran them through a chronograph, with that data I hit steel at 500 yards (12 outta 15) and 800 yards (6 5 outta 10). With practice/patience I know I can do better. Also I have burris emininator scopes on both rifles. You can't go wrong with either IMHO
@codykelly8870 also when I hunt I do not intend on taking shots much further than 400yds. So they fit my needs. I will shoot long distance on range days though.
Great video. What target stand are you using? I like the swinging/spinning hangers. I wonder what caliber you’d need to use to get the big one spinning like the little one?? Really though, I’d like to have a target stand setup like yours.
I got the stand parts at shootsteal.com. My 50 BMG got the the big one to spin, and the stand didn’t fall over! Definitely recommend this stand setup. It’s the best one I have ever used. Thanks for watching!
I got mine ik 308, i opted for the vortex strike eagle 5 to 24 x 45 ... i dont know of that is too much scope or not? I mean its great it was just really expensive for me i got a few weeks to take it back of o should get something else?
I'd go for the .308 too. It's just readily available and cheaper. 6.5mm CM is a rich boy's .308. Slightly better at longer ranges, probably....750+ yards? Both very good rounds
This is exactly why I got my Cross in .308 as it is much cheaper here in Honolulu and hunting on the Outer Islands is not long range. I also have a Sig BDX scope that I will mount to my Cross.
Also it uses a shorter barrel, and the gun is a bit lighter . I think especially in that gun the 308 is the better caliber . For the 6.5 credit , it surpasses 308 at around 350-400 yards , but that’s longer than most people hunt at anyway .
I'm really torn between the Cross .308 or the Cross STX .308 (both for hunting). I've seen arguments for both, mainly if you're going to buy the Cross, and can afford the little extra, it's worth splurging on the STX. Any thoughts?
I like the compactness of the shorter 16” barrel personally. If you prefer the 20” barrel and want to shoot a little longer range, I would definitely get the STX. Thanks for watching.
Hay I have the Sig cross 308 and I was wondering is there a second safety on it because every time I go to try to shoot it never goes off and I was wondering if it was a factory malfunction or if there's a second safety on it
DD Pro all day long. About the same price as the Sig prs, but the cool factor of the DD is next level. I have never shot the DD, but I hear it is phenomenal! Safe shooting!

great video thanks
Just bought a Sig Cross Trax I love it!
That’s awesome! Great rifle!
We have had good luck with our test rifles sig sent over last year
Good job bro
308 is a great round , I have had my Sig -cross with Leupold 5HD scope for about 5 months , extremely please with the rifle , about month ago I got a cow elk @ 189 yard in Jensen Utah in snowy day very cold condition ..

Omg someone smart enough to understand bad ammo causes issues and not the rifle!!!
Yup - mine won’t ignite surplus ammo…
Probably the best review I’ve seen on this rifle. You touch on the ammo gr/brand, then move on to shooting. Other than that round you pulled, that shot group top right was good from a 16 inch barrel.
Thanks for the feedback! The sig is definitely a great rifle!
I'm curious to know the weight I didn't hear you say how much it weighed could you weigh it with a nice digital scale as you have it set up
Fantastic video. Grateful for your content. Id like to buy the .308. Such a useful platform for pack hunting. Sorta wish they had equipped the .308 w an 18” barrel for a touch more velocity. Curious if you wouldn’t mind commenting on the group sizes of the subsonic ammo you used. This rifle makes a great subsonic host imo. (If accurate).
Thank you!!
An 18” option would definitely be nice!
The groups on the subs was just over one MOA.
Awesome video man! Just curious, what magnification would you prefer on your optic?
It just depends on what you want to shoot. It’s a light weight gun, so I would keep the optic small to save weight. A 10x would be a good balance of decent magnification, and not being to big and additional weight.
I have the .308 & 6.5 these rifles are awesome, I have harvester evos on them permanently.
Which do you prefer? Im trying to choose.
@codykelly8870 I love them both but the creedmoor will be my main hunting rifle. Also I have the hybrid46 and omega36m that evo and its lighter weight make the sig cross even more awesome.

@@Freedom-us3zr Thankyou!! First 1000 yards I ever hit was sent from a 50!
I got mine ik 308, i opted for the vortex strike eagle 5 to 24 x 45 ... i dont know of that is too much scope or not? I mean its great it was just really expensive for me i got a few weeks to take it back of o should get something else?
I would go with it. I wish I had more magnification on mine. Let me know how you like it!
I'd go for the .308 too. It's just readily available and cheaper. 6.5mm CM is a rich boy's .308. Slightly better at longer ranges, probably....750+ yards? Both very good rounds
Exactly what I should have said in the video! Very well put. Thanks for watching.
This is exactly why I got my Cross in .308 as it is much cheaper here in Honolulu and hunting on the Outer Islands is not long range. I also have a Sig BDX scope that I will mount to my Cross.
Plus you need a Man Bun even to buy 6.5 creedmore hahaha. .308 All Day Long 🙂

Got it. Thanks man, and really appreciate your videos!@@Freedom-us3zr
Very good video man! love it, looking for revews on this sig, trying to get one, thanks.
Hay I have the Sig cross 308 and I was wondering is there a second safety on it because every time I go to try to shoot it never goes off and I was wondering if it was a factory malfunction or if there's a second safety on it
No second safety that I know of. I would check the back of the primer on the cartridge and see if it’s getting a lite primer strike.
How does the gun shoot as far as being able to stay in the scope and see your hits Cynthia it’s Light and Short?
It’s definitely a little hard to keep on target, but it’s manageable.
With a 16in barrel how effective would 308 be on larger game?
You’re not losing a lot of velocity really or range
308 does well from shorter barrels - better than the Creedmoor . Some people use 11.5 inch ar to hunt some decent size game .
Will that suppressor also fit the 6.5 creemoor version?
Yes. It’s a do all can up to 46 cal and pressures up to 338 lapua mag. It’s really a jack of all trades… but not the best at any of them.
Which would you choose ? Sig cross prs or the DD PRO 5 ?
DD Pro all day long. About the same price as the Sig prs, but the cool factor of the DD is next level. I have never shot the DD, but I hear it is phenomenal!
Safe shooting!
Are those p mag? I’m looking for a 10 round aswell
Yep! I got mine at gun mag warehouse.
How thick are the plates on ur target setup?
Those ones are 3/8” thick.
Hi what scope are you using? TY
It’s a Sig Sauer SIERRA3BDX 3.5-10x42mm. I really want to get something with better magnification on this rifle though.
Thanks for watching!
Could I ask what scope mount you ended up using on your sig cross?
It’s a Vortex. I don’t remember what exact one, but it works well.
Appreciate the effort but not much we can learn at 100yds and a 10x scope. You can’t judge accuracy at all.
I disagree. If you can group at 100 yards, you will know what to expect 2, 3, and 400 yards. Please explain your reasoning.
Talk entirely too much
Thanks for the feedback.
