I agree. I'm looking forward to when/if this systems makes it's way up here.

Very interesting rifle & tagged for interest. The Sig Fury is definitely something I'll be watching. Just a little cautious about pressure & throat erosion of the barrel... The 6.5 Creedmoor is harder on barrels than a .308, but is it a problem for most? Just wondering what kind of life you'd see out a Fury barrel? Is it a barrel that will need replacement after 2000 rounds?...
Not sure the Cross will have the same technology applied in the NGSW.
This cartridge is used in SIG's submission for NGSW that includes automatic rifle, but their version is basically a belt fed light machine gun. According to SIG, they have the barrel surface treatment technology that will meet that requirement.
If they can make it work in a belt fed LMG, they definitely have the means to make this work beyond 2000 rounds.
Personally, I can't wait til they release the .277 Fury MCX SASS! The 13" version of is clocking at 2850, same speed as the M4 pushing the 62 gr pill!

I mean if the Fury is used strictly as a hunting gun, then the rifle probably wouldn't see anything close to 2000 rounds in it's lifetime. But as a range rifle 2000 rounds is nothing... This, of course, is just a round count I picked out of thin air. And I agree if they are using it in a LMG they obviously got that problem figured out. Now I wonder if it's applied to this rifle? Definitely a cool rifle regardless; & I hope they keep the option of full length rail (back up iron sights a big plus) & dust cover on it.
I’m diggin the dust cover, I wouldn’t mind one

Oh sweet!!! I could see myself behind one of those for a long range coyote rifle. A .243 would be awesome.

I’m buying one in .277 soon as I can . I’ve been debating the mpr but after bartok toasted his barrel buy shooting more than one round every 5 min it was a hard no . Looking forward to this guy coming to market
