The CROSS initially launched in 2020 and marked the company’s return to the bolt-action platform since the 1990s. It was chambered in .277 SIG Fury at launch, a cartridge developed specifically for the rifle.

Sig said that the new CROSS Magnum continues the company’s tradition of innovation and improvements.

“The development of the CROSS Magnum pushes the boundaries of innovation for a bolt-action platform and delivers on precision, power, and performance,” CMO and Executive VP of Commercial Sales Tom Taylor said in a statement.

“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 45 percent. The CROSS Magnum is feature-rich, performance built, and ready for the hunt.”

MSRP on the CROSS Magnum is $2,499.
