Jack Carr explains why the Sig Cross rifle wins him over
Author and former Navy SEAL Jack Carr shares his thoughts on the Sig Sauer Cross rifle in a video from JackCarrUSA, walking through why the bolt-action rifle has become one of his go-to setups for hunting and field use.
Snapshot
Jack Carr runs through his experience with the Sig Cross chambered in 7.62x51, focusing on the rifle's folding stock and how it pairs with Sig optics. He explains that the stock design won him over despite initial skepticism, and he compares the setup favorably to improvised solutions he used during his time in the SEAL teams.
Key points
- Caliber and chassis: Carr's Cross rifle is chambered in 7.62x51 and built around a folding stock he says he'd never used before but took to immediately.
- Cheek weld solved: Carr says the stock's design gives him a proper cheek weld for scope alignment, something he recalls rigging in the field with cut foam pad and riggers tape during his SEAL team days.
- Optics setup: His primary rifle wears a Sig Sauer Tango 6 optic, while a second Cross he received at the Sig Sauer Hunter Games is paired with Sig's BDX scope, which works with a matching rangefinder-binocular combo.
- Field performance: Carr says the BDX pairing worked well during the Hunter Games, where his team finished second, ahead of a team stacked with snipers.
- Portability: He highlights how easily the folding-stock design packs away for travel or storage in a bag.
Quick take
Carr's take is a personal endorsement built on hands-on use rather than a technical breakdown, but it offers a straightforward look at why he rates the Sig Cross highly for both hunting and general field carry.
