Description

Looking for a long-range rifle platform that bridges the gap between custom shop performance and factory rifle reliability? You’re in the right place. The Cross-Magnum Sawtooth is a purpose-built chassis rifle designed for the modern magnum cartridge shooter, offering a level of modularity and precision that’s hard to find off the shelf.

Californiagunshop is a San Antonio, TX-based retailer specializing in precision rifles and tactical firearms. The Cross-Magnum Sawtooth is a modular chassis rifle system engineered for magnum cartridges. Its core strength lies in a fully adjustable chassis that accepts a wide range of Remington 700-pattern magnum actions. We have it in stock and ready to ship today for $2,394.38.

Why the Cross-Magnum Sawtooth Belongs in Your Safe

Having built over 300 custom rifles, I see a lot of folks who want the accuracy of a custom rig without the wait time or the full custom price tag. That’s the niche the Sawtooth fills. It’s not just another rifle; it’s a system. Starting with a rock-solid, aluminum chassis, it gives you the foundation to build exactly what you need, whether you’re chasing elk in the Rockies or competing in a local PRS match with a magnum class. The fit and finish out of the box are what I’d expect from components I’d hand-select for a personal build.

Cross-Magnum Sawtooth Specifications

How It Stacks Up: Sawtooth vs. The Competition

Feature	Cross-Magnum Sawtooth	Budget Import Chassis (~$600-800 Rifle)	Premium Custom Action Build ($3,500+)
Material	6061-T6 Aluminum, full chassis	Often polymer or thin aluminum	7075 Aluminum or custom steel
Quality	CNC machined, Mil-Spec finish	Cast or MIM parts, basic finish	Match-grade, tight-tolerance machining
Compatibility	R700 LA Mag, AICS mags	Proprietary or limited	Often custom or single action type
Shipping	Same-day from TX, discreet	Long int’l lead times	Months-long build time
Lifespan/Durability	Designed for magnum recoil, robust	Questionable under sustained use	Exceptional, built for extremes
Price	$2,394.38 (Sale)	$600 – $800	$3,500 and up

The table shows the Sawtooth’s sweet spot. It avoids the compromises of budget imports where the chassis might not handle a 300 Win Mag or 300 PRC over the long term. While a full custom is the ultimate, the Sawtooth delivers 90% of that performance for a lot less money and zero wait.

Straight Talk: Pros and Cons

What I like:

• ✅ Magnum-Ready Platform: The chassis is stiffened specifically to manage the recoil impulse of cartridges like the 7mm PRC and 300 Win Mag, reducing flex and improving consistency.
• ✅ Out-of-the-Box Accuracy: From the ones I’ve seen on the bench, sub-MOA performance with quality factory ammo is the standard, not the hope.
• ✅ Full Modularity: The AR-style buffer tube system means you can swap stocks in seconds. The forend has M-LOK on all sides for bipods, bags, and rails.
• ✅ Adjustability for the Family: The easy LOP and cheek riser adjustments make it simple to fit different shooters, which is a huge plus for a family teaching long-range fundamentals.
• ✅ Quality Barrel: A hand-lapped, precision-rifled barrel is the heart of any accurate rifle, and they didn’t cut corners here.

What you should consider:

• ❌ Not a Lightweight Mountain Rifle: At 9.5+ lbs bare, this is a stable shooting platform, not a flyweight. If you’re hiking 10 miles a day, look at our lightweight hunting rifles.
• ❌ Requires Optics Investment: To leverage its capability, you need a good scope. This isn’t a rifle you top with a $150 hunting scope. Budget for your optic accordingly.
• ❌ Barrel is Chamber-Specific: You’re buying a complete rifle in a specific caliber (like Cross Magnum Sawtooth 7 PRC). While the chassis is the platform, re-barreling is a gunsmith job, not a swap.

Who Should (and Shouldn’t) Buy the Cross-Magnum Sawtooth

Buy it if: You’re a hunter who also dabbles in long-range target shooting and wants one rifle that excels at both with magnum cartridges. You’re a shooter who values customization and wants a rifle you can tweak and adapt over time. You want proven, sub-MOA accuracy without entering the full custom price bracket.

Skip it if: Your primary need is an ultra-lightweight rifle for backcountry hunting. You’re looking for a cheap plinker; this is a serious tool for serious shooting. You want a traditional walnut and blued steel hunting rifle aesthetic. For that, check out our classic bolt actions.

Common Questions & Concerns

“Is the chassis really that much better than a traditional stock for magnum calibers?”
For precision, absolutely. A rigid aluminum chassis eliminates the point of impact shift that can happen with composite or wood stocks under recoil or when using a bipod. For a Cross Magnum Sawtooth 300 PRC, that consistency is critical.

“Can I use my existing Remington 700 magnum action?”
This is a complete rifle. The chassis system is designed around an R700 footprint, but the Sawtooth comes with a matched and headspaced barreled action. It’s not a standalone chassis for sale in this configuration.
