In a bold move a few years ago, SIG SAUER introduced the CROSS series, a game-changer for hunters and precision shooters seeking a rugged yet adaptable platform. This innovative bolt-action series allowed users to easily move and rapidly engage their targets with unparalleled ease. However, the CROSS platform was initially limited to intermediate cartridges.
SIG SAUER takes a leap forward with the introduction of the SIG SAUER CROSS Magnum series, a testament to years of research, development, and tireless testing. The introduction of magnum cartridges to the CROSS platform opens up new possibilities for enthusiasts seeking even greater performance.
The SIG CROSS Magnum, chambered in .300 Win Mag, stands as a testament to this commitment to excellence. It features a 24” barrel, an aluminum coyote anodized frame, and a two-stage match trigger. The core innovation lies in the new magnum action receiver, complete with a free-floating handguard.
One of the most exciting features is the full-length M-LOK™ and ARCA™ rail handguard, enabling shooters to customize their setup to perfection. The forward angle PRS style grip and right thumb rest safety enhance ergonomics, ensuring precise and comfortable shooting. Additionally, the folding adjustable precision stock adds to the rifle’s adaptability.

NEWINGTON, N.H., (October 17, 2023) – After years of research and development, and countless months of testing in the harshest environments, comes the SIG SAUER CROSS Magnum; the release answers the call to bring magnum-class calibers to the CROSS family of bolt-action rifles while building on the foundation and innovation that made the CROSS a leader in its class.
The development of the CROSS Magnum pushes the boundaries of innovation for a bolt-action platform and delivers on precision, power, and performance” said Tom Taylor, Chief Marketing Officer and Executive Vice President, Commercial Sales. “Starting with the receiver design, the CROSS Magnum allows for easy barrel changes while keeping your scope and pic-rail mounted, adds a new folding hinge for easier, intuitive folding, better stock-retention and a stronger lock-up, includes a full-length ARCA and M-LOK rail for maximum tripod and bipod usability and adjustment in the field, while the integrated radial compensator design reduces the felt recoil of the magnum caliber by forty-five percent. The CROSS Magnum is feature-rich, performance built, and ready for the hunt.”
