    MSRP?

    It is great to see Sig move forward with a magnum-class version.

    I have enjoyed my Sig Cross (in 308 Win) more than I originally expected. My traditional wood stock rifles stay in the back of the safe now.

    Yawn. 30 years ago maybe. Now in my old age I’m back to where I started: nice walnut and beautiful steel.

    Why are they developing a new version, when they haven’t offered the Cross in 277 Fury to the public yet?!?

    This is irritating, and beginning to feel like the behavior of Colt, in the 1990’s when they decided to install seer blocks on their ARs, and reject the civilian market.

    • Glenn Stanton October 20, 2023, 7:49 am

      the 277 Fury is available based on their web site: https://www.sigsauer.com/sig-cross-rifle.html

        Yes, for 18-24 months now they have been listed on the Sig site, and at least one was demo-ed by a firearm writer (not purchased). However, no production (I have twice confirmed with the factory) and none are available anywhere.

        Announcing a product and not producing it for 2 years is almost fraud.

          Dude. You gotta calm down. Take a breath. It’s only a gun.

          • Ed Thaxton November 10, 2023, 6:59 pm

            Dude, just stating the facts, the author and commenter left out. Prolly some good waves today, but you might want a wetsuit.
