Cross Sawtooth 6 5 Prc

About this product

The Sig Sauer CROSS Sawtooth in 6.5 PRC is a lightweight, precision bolt-action rifle built around a 22-inch PROOF Research carbon fiber barrel and Sig's folding, fully adjustable precision chassis, finished here in Moss Green Cerakote. At about 6.9 pounds unloaded, it's built to be genuinely carried into the field rather than left on a bench, while still delivering the accuracy Sig markets it for.

What makes the Cross Sawtooth different from a standard hunting bolt gun?

Sig built the Sawtooth line on the same chassis platform as its original CROSS rifle, adding a folding stock, a 2-stage adjustable match trigger breaking between 2.5 and 4 pounds, and a 20-MOA top rail for mounting a long-range optic. The stock folds down to a compact 33 inches for transport and storage, extends to 43.8 inches with the length-of-pull spacers out, or 41.8 inches collapsed — a genuinely field-practical setup for hunters and long-range shooters who need to pack the rifle into a case or backcountry pack.

What's the magazine capacity and does the carbon fiber barrel matter for accuracy?

This rifle feeds from a 4-round detachable MDT steel magazine, and Sig ships every Sawtooth with a sub-1-MOA accuracy certification tied to the PROOF Research carbon fiber barrel, which is meaningfully lighter than an equivalent steel barrel without giving up the accuracy Sig is certifying at the factory. The barrel also carries a stainless steel heavy-profile radial muzzle brake to help manage recoil from the 6.5 PRC cartridge, a round known for flat trajectories and strong long-range performance.

Does this rifle ship to my home, and what about California rules?

No — as a firearm, the Cross Sawtooth ships to a licensed FFL dealer for pickup, where you'll complete a background check and the required transfer paperwork. California's assault weapon statute is centered on semi-automatic centerfire rifles with detachable magazines and specific features, and bolt-action rifles are generally treated differently under that law, but California's separate 10-round magazine capacity limit for detachable magazines applies broadly. This rifle's factory 4-round magazine falls under that cap, but confirm current requirements and any state-specific paperwork with your FFL before ordering, since firearm regulations can change and vary by exact configuration.

6.5 PRC has become one of the more popular modern magnum-class cartridges for hunters and long-range competitors who want flatter trajectories and less wind drift than a standard .308 or 6.5 Creedmoor without stepping up to a full magnum recoil level, and pairing that cartridge with a genuinely packable, sub-7-pound rifle is the core appeal of the Sawtooth specifically.

Sig's decision to use a folding stock rather than a fixed one is aimed squarely at hunters who need to fit a precision rifle into a smaller case or a backcountry pack without sacrificing the adjustability — length of pull, comb height — that a serious long-range shooter expects from a chassis rifle. The 20-MOA rail gives enough elevation reserve to mount a high-magnification long-range scope and still have adjustment room left for shots well past typical hunting distances, which matters for buyers planning to stretch this rifle's legs at distance rather than using it purely inside 300 yards. Combined with the sub-1-MOA guarantee Sig backs the rifle with out of the box, this is a serious precision hunting and long-range rifle rather than a budget bolt gun, and the price reflects the carbon fiber barrel and chassis system that go into it.
