Their pistols just aren’t my jam, their rifles never floored me. If I’m being honest, I’ve never been a big fan of Springfield Armory. That said - this is a great rifle and you will not be disappointed. With suppressors and brakes being more popular by the day, it would be nice if more hunting rifles come standard with threaded barrels. The lack of a threaded barrel is a big blow to me. Mine hasn’t broken even after hard knocks and long use, but it still feels cheap in your hands. ![]() It does its job I guess but it’s a very cheap plastic feel. So what are the downsides? The stock is honestly kind of horrible. True to its name, it comes in very lightweight at 6.5-ish lbs even in long action cartridges.Īll of that and you’ll rarely see these for more than about $750. It’s also the rifle that I started learning long-range precision shooting.Īlthough that was a long time ago, the T3x Lite is still one of the best rifles I’ve ever used or owned.Īccurate as all get out, simple to use, and with a bolt that feels like greased glass - this is a fine example of top-quality production and honestly gives a custom-made feel to a mass-produced rifle. 270 Win was the very first hunting rifle that I bought for myself. While this rifle doesn’t really give you much in the way of fancy features, this is in every way a modern take on the legendary classic American hunting rifle. Instead, the B-14 Ridge is much lighter and is a much more “classic” style of a hunting rifle.īuilt using an R700 footprint this gives you access to a huge range of aftermarket accessories and upgrades if you want them.īergara rifles are accurate, simple, modern and ready for anything. While their B-14 HMR is my favorite version, it’s a bit heavy for a dedicated hunting rifle. The Bergara B-14 series of rifles has gained a near-legendary reputation for being an R700 pattern rifle but made to a radically higher standard of quality than what Remington has put out. ![]() Since the fall of that great brand, others have come to take the crown. But sadly, Remington simply wasn’t able to live up to its own name for much of the past 20 years. One of the most iconic American hunting rifles of the past 100 years has been the Remington 700. The compact nature of this rifle is perfect for hiking with or stalking through the brush.Īs a western hunter and shooter, the fact that my complete hunting setup with scope, bipod, and muzzle brake is about 7.6lbs is wonderful. Realistically, this is a much more practical barrel choice and I love that. Most hunting rifles come with barrels that are at least 22” long, but the Cross comes in either 16” or 18” depending on the caliber. What I love about the Cross is that they don’t use a crazy long barrel. While this rifle is totally able of reaching out, the low overall weight and short barrel make for a rather poor long-range precision rifle.īut on your back in the mountains, this is an amazing rifle.Įven when I’m not planning on doing much more than plinking at the range, I tend to bring my Cross along with me just because it’s light and handy and fun to shoot. While Sig markets the Cross as a “long-range precision rifle” I strongly disagree, this is a hunting rifle through and through. This is, for me, everything I’ve been looking for in a hunting rifle. Lightweight, folding stock, magazine-fed, a threaded barrel, a glass-smooth action, and rounded off with an outstanding 3lb trigger. I’ve been looking forward to this rifle since I shot some pre-production versions at SHOT Show 2020 and I have to say, this rifle does not disappoint me in the slightest. My Sig Sauer Cross is from the second-generation post-safety fix. Sig Sauer issued a recall a few days later and quickly solved the issue with the rifle basically re-releasing a few months later. Almost immediately after it was released YouTuber Nutnfancy posted a video showing the Cross firing while the safety was engaged. The Sig Sauer Cross is pretty fresh on the market, but its first steps into our hands did not go well. ![]()
