New Backfire Plus Member with a Cross 6.5 Creedmoor

1

Hello Backfire+,

I’m new to Backfire+ but I’ve been watching the You Tube channel so having a dedicated site of like minded individuals is a worth our time, investment, and openness.

I’m relatively new firearms so my question concerns the Sig Cross 6.5 18" I own but being Sig fan (with 12 in my safe) I’m looking at the new Sig Cross / Proof Sawtooth with a 24" barrel.

  1. Has anyone considered upgrading from the stock Cross 6.5 to the Proof Sawtooth in 6.5 PRC?
  2. Did you do it?
  3. Was it worth your expense?
  4. If you could get a mulligan would you do it again?

Thank you for starting the conversation and being a rookie, I’ll be a good listener.

I love the Sig Cross. Great platform. The sawtooth version shoots even better with the Proof barrel and increased weight, and arca rail.

I haven’t shot one in 6.5 PRC, though. I’ve only shot the 300 PRC and the 7 PRC.

I do see that you can get a proof prefit for the Sig cross for $1000. You could get that barrel and just pop it on a regular Sig cross. You’d just be missing out on the arca rail and the few other little changes.

Another cool upgrade for the cross is this aftermarket handguard with a built in bipod. https://www.opticsplanet.com/blk-lbl-sig-cross-bipod.html

Jim,

Thank you for your reply and your comment about the Proof barrel as it solves my quandary and I now have a plan. All the best.

Jim,

I’ve searched both the Sig and Proof websites and I haven’t found the Proof CF barrel in 6.5 CM being available. I sent a request to Sig over this weekend and I’m waiting for their reply so would you have a link to share? I’ll search on Tuesday as I’ll be watching our mutual friends inauguration. All the best.
