Competition, Hunting, and Tactical – the New SIG CROSS STX Does it All!
Luke Cuenco 04.27.23
SIG Sauer is proud to introduce its latest addition to the CROSS bolt action platform! The SIG Sauer CROSS STX rifle is a precision bolt-action rifle designed for hunting, long-range shooting, and tactical applications. It features a fully adjustable folding stock and an aluminum receiver that is compatible with a variety of barrel lengths and calibers. The rifle is also equipped with a match-grade trigger and a free-floating handguard for increased accuracy. With its versatile and customizable design, the SIG Sauer CROSS STX rifle is a highly capable and adaptable firearm suitable for a range of shooting activities including hunting especially with access to two of the most prolific hunting cartridges currently available (.308 & 6.5 CM), and possibly even one that has yet to prove its mettle in the realm of the hunting world – .277 Fury.

Details
The new CROSS STX from SIG SAUER is the latest evolution in the CROSS bolt-action rifle series. The CROSS STX brings a new level of performance and capability to the tactical shooter. Featuring a 20” precision barrel, full-length Picatinny top rail, thumb-rest safety selector, PRS-stye grip, AR-style controls, and AR-style ergonomics. The CROSS STX is the result of input from professional end-users looking for extreme performance in a lightweight, long-range platform.
The full-length Picatinny top rail would certainly come in handy for today’s modern night hunters who often use clip-on thermal and night vision devices for hunting. In addition, the rifle’s folding adjustable stock should prove to be useful for customizing the rifle to several different shooters while out in the field. Really what this rifle feels like to me is a jack of all trades that might weigh a bit heavy on the “tactical” side of things due to its suppressor-ready flash hider – however, as we’ve seen in recent years, hunting with suppressors is becoming extremely popular. While the rifle is currently only available in .308 Winchester and 6.5 Creedmoor, there is talk of adding .277 Fury to the mix. The SIG Sauer CROSS STX should go for a similar price as the CROSS PRS Model which is usually sold for around $2,500 MSRP. For more information, you can visit http://sigsauer.com/.
