^^^^^ What he said! I very much desire the Cross in 6.5 CM with the anodized camo finish. Knowing our luck however, the RCMP lab may determine the Cross's one-piece Receiver to be a variant of the MCX, which is in turn a variant of the AR15. It may be prohib on those grounds alone, so watch and shoot!
Was that suppose to be a joke? Don't forget 3 RCMP officers were killed in Moncton and no one called for a ban on the M14/ M305, no better yet no police agencies ever publicly called for a ban or restriction on firearms

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.
Good Call! I am glad to hear that my post regarding premature throat erosion with the MPR's Christensen Arms C-F Barrel provided you with the necessary info to make a solid decision. My MPR has since been rebarrelled with a 24" Hardy Engineering C-F Barrel from NZ. The Hardy Barrel conducts energy away from the Stainless Barrel Liner, shedding heat both outwards and downwards towards the Muzzle. In other words, it functions as advertised, and as the Christensen C-F Barrel should have worked (but instead failed miserably).
Notwithstanding the above, the Christensen MPR's Chassis, Action, Trigger, C-F Handguard, etc, are excellent in terms of low weight, craftsmanship, fit and function. Everything about the MPR earns two big thumbs-up, except for the Christensen Arms C-F Barrel. With the Hardy Barrel installed, the overall package is once again ideally-suited for both the "Precision Rifle" and "Precision Hunting Rifle" roles. All-in with the Vortex Razor AMG 6-24X 50mm optic (but without the Atlas Bipod mounted), the MPR with Hardy Barrel weighs-in at just under 10 lbs.
I would pit my re-vamped MPR against a SIG Cross any day now that I am back up and running, but it would be an "apples and oranges" comparison given that I now have $5K invested in the Christensen rifle versus the $2K cost of a Cross in Canada. If the Cross can meet the $2K price-point while offering turn-key sub-MOA performance, SIG will have a winner on their hands. A lightweight cross-over Precision/Hunting Rifle has been missing from the affordable line-up until now. Hopefully the Cross wil meet expectations and fulfill that requirement without having to break the bank!

The 277 sig fury could be interesting! I played with the 6.8spc a bit but the bullet selection wasn't great. It would have to be reloadable though, they may end up with a system like the shell shock nas3 pistol cases with proprietary dies to size the steel portion. Look forward to seeing what unfolds with that
I will grab one of those but in .308. I have invested heavily in 308 (competition dies, press, bullets, powder, trimmers, neck tuners, etc.). Not to mention the time it took me to "scientifically" test each load combination for my current rifles. I feel I have perfected that round. Even after all of this, each 308 bullet I make still cost me about $1.5-2. Just the thought of starting over with another caliber depresses me 
. Put me on the pre-order list both for the CROSS and for anything in the .277... Big fan of Sig quality.
Yes we will be bringing them in, they are new and fully introduced at Shot Show. Price and delivery will be set at that time
