Go to the 28 minute mark and watch from there. Not promising. Hopefully just a defective unit...

Or just stick to the established top players like the Sako TRG or an Accuracy International.

Why would you compare a TRG or an AI to the Sig Cross? The TRG and AIs are designed to be military sniper rifle systems and the Sig Cross is intended as a lightweight, compact hunting rifle. Kind of a strange comparison...

What really bothers me is they kept using the dang thing after it was having issues. People, if something isn't right just stop and atleast unload the gun if your going to trouble shoot.
I thought the same thing. Buddy works the bolt and it fires, so he then proceeds to load another round. Yikes.
He is seeing if he can reproduce, and diagnose the issue. Not a big deal if he is in a safe place and has the firearm pointed in a safe direction. If he had headspace issues then obviously he would not want to fire it again.
Either way its not looking good. I hope they get it all sorted, I think its a revolutionary firearm design (obviously Q already did it but you need a mortgage for one of those bloody things).
Because generally you compare "comparable" rifles to each other? By your logic you'd also compare a Sig Cross to an FNAR, a Tavor or a Type-81? They're all rifles after all...

Lol, guy does some of the most field testing of any internet gun guys, hes often puts thousands of rounds through rifles over a full year before putting out a video.
Even his short term reviews he wont produce without putting 500+ rounds down range... Through a bolt gun!
When he gets failure like this he often gets the gun to warrenty then continues testing... And includes the warrenty experience in the review. Presents well balanced reports. Talks a bit to much, but one of the most honest reviewers.
Guy probably shoots more in a year then most shoot in a lifetime. His patreon generates over $7000 a month and he burns more then half of that on ammo.
Ive seen him slag a hyped up sub par rifle when the ceo is there providing the guns and ammo lol.
SIG says:
"Designed and built from the ground up at the SIG SAUER research and development facilities in New Hampshire with the input of hunters, military snipers and elite long-range shooters, the CROSS rifle was created to meet the demands of both precision long-range shooting and extreme backcountry hunting."
Bolt action, marketed as "precision long-range", being innovative to reduce weight and size. Why wouldn't you compare it with "old school" bolt action "precision long-range". It is not semi, it is not mil surplus.
The Cross weighs 6.8lbs, a typical AI (say the AX) weighs twice that. The AIs and TRG are/were designed to meet mil requirements and be fielded as military sniper systems, the Cross is designed to be a lightweight, long range rig (with a focus towards backcountry hunting). No reasonable, informed person would be considering purchasing an AI vs a Cross for the same purpose. That's why I said it was a silly comparison. Like you said in your earlier post, if you want to compare the Cross to a Sako, compare it to a somewhat comparable rifle.
That's some seriously bad press for that rifle. Like him not, TNP has some serious viewership. Smart people will sit back and watch what happens when the first shipment arrives, time will tell if they are good or garbage.
