Sig Sauer Cross-Magnum Sawtooth 7mm PRC 24in Carbon 6rd
About this product
The Sig Sauer Cross-Magnum Sawtooth is a purpose-built, folding bolt-action rifle chambered in 7mm PRC that combines a lightweight Proof Research carbon fiber barrel with a fully-adjustable chassis system for high-country hunting and precision field shooting. It's built on Sig's proprietary 7075-T6 aluminum Cross-Magnum receiver and ships with a single 6‑round AICS-pattern steel magazine. This configuration represents Sig Sauer's direct answer to hunters and shooters demanding extreme portability without sacrificing the ballistic capability needed for engagements beyond 500 yards.
What is the Sig Sauer Cross-Magnum Sawtooth used for?
This rifle is engineered for high-angle, long-range hunting where every ounce matters and shots present from unconventional positions. It excels when you're hiking into steep backcountry for elk, mule deer, or mountain goat, where its 6.8-pound unloaded weight and 34.5-inch folded length allow it to be carried in a pack. The adjustable stock and 24-inch carbon fiber barrel provide the stability needed for precise shots at extended ranges, yet the package disassembles quickly for transport in a vehicle or aircraft.
How does the Sig Sauer Cross-Magnum Sawtooth compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle in .308 Win?
The Cross-Magnum Sawtooth is a more specialized, modern platform built for long-range precision, while something like the Stevens 334 in .308 Win is a traditional, budget-conscious hunting rifle. The Sawtooth's adjustable chassis, folding stock, and ARCA/M-LOK handguard offer far greater accessory mounting and fitment options than the Stevens' fixed synthetic stock. However, the Stevens 334 wins on pure affordability and simplicity, costing roughly one-third the price, making it better for a new hunter or someone needing a basic, reliable tool without the precision-shooting features.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs 6.8 pounds (3.08 kg) unloaded and measures 42.5 inches in overall length with the stock extended. With the stock folded, the length reduces to 34.5 inches, and the barrel itself is a precise 24 inches with a 1:8.5 twist rate. The handguard has a 15-inch continuous ARCA rail and features eight M-LOK slots at the 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions for mounting bipods, sling swivels, or night vision bridges.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle is a poor choice for the budget-conscious shooter or someone new to long-range precision. The $2,852.99 price point buys capability that a novice won't utilize, and the 7mm PRC ammunition is significantly more expensive and less available than common cartridges like .308 Winchester or 6.5 Creedmoor. It's also not ideal for dense-stand deer hunting where quick, off-hand shots under 100 yards are the norm; the weight and balance are tuned for supported shooting, not snap shots.
What's in the box?
You receive the complete rifle, one 6-round AICS-pattern steel magazine, a set of Torx wrenches for stock adjustments and muzzle device removal, and the owner's manual with Sig Sauer's warranty registration card. Notably, the box does not include a scope mount, rings, or a case—common omissions in this price segment that add $150-$400 to your initial setup cost. The manual clearly outlines torque specifications for the action screws (65 in-lbs) and barrel shoulder.
Is the Sig Sauer Cross-Magnum Sawtooth worth it at $2,852.99?
Yes, but only if your specific use case demands its unique blend of lightweight carbon construction and a fully-featured chassis. You are paying a premium of approximately $800-$1,000 over a comparable rifle with a steel barrel and fixed stock to save roughly 1.5 pounds in carried weight. For the backcountry hunter who covers miles of elevation daily, that weight savings and the folding capability justify the cost. For a stand hunter or range shooter, a standard Stevens 334 or Bergara B-14 will deliver similar accuracy for far less money.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the muzzle brake removable for a suppressor?
- Yes, the stainless steel radial brake is threaded 5/8-24 and interfaces with a standard barrel shoulder. It requires a 3/4" wrench or a dedicated reaction rod to remove without stressing the receiver. Once removed, you can direct-thread any suppressor with matching threads, though you should verify your suppressor's minimum barrel length rating for 7mm PRC, typically 20 inches.
- Does this work with standard AICS magazines?
- Yes, the Cross-Magnum action is designed around the AICS (Accuracy International Chassis System) magazine pattern. It accepts both polymer and steel AICS magazines in short-action lengths. The included magazine is a 6-round steel version, but reliable aftermarket options from Magpul (7-round) or Accurate-Mag (5 or 10-round) will function, provided they are for the correct short-action cartridge family.
- How long does shipping take to an FFL?
- For in-stock items, processing takes 1-2 business days before the firearm ships via FedEx or UPS 2-Day Air to your selected Federal Firearms License (FFL) holder. Total transit time is typically 3-5 business days from order placement. You must contact your FFL dealer in advance to provide a copy of their license and confirm they will accept the transfer, which adds a variable local processing delay.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit or has an issue?
- Firearms sales are final once the FFL transfer is complete, except for legitimate manufacturer defects. You have 30 days from the ship date to initiate a warranty claim with Sig Sauer for any mechanical or functional issue. For a fit issue (e.g., length of pull), you would need to modify the adjustable stock or sell the rifle privately through an FFL, as returns for "change of mind" are prohibited by federal law and most dealer policies.
- Is the handguard compatible with an Atlas bipod?
- Yes, the integrated 15-inch ARCA rail is directly compatible with any ARCA-style clamp, including those from Atlas, RRS, and Really Right Stuff. For traditional picatinny-mounted bipods, you would need to attach a small M-LOK to Picatinny adapter section, which adds about 2.5 ounces and 0.75 inches of height. I recommend the Area 419 ARCA rail clamp for a seamless, low-profile connection.
- What is the thread pitch for the receiver?
- The one-piece 7075-T6 aluminum receiver has a standard Remington 700 short-action footprint. It is pre-drilled and tapped with 8-40 screws at a 70-degree angle for scope base installation, compatible with bases from companies like Warne, Seekins, and Spuhr. The recommended torque for the base screws is 28 in-lbs, and you should use a high-quality thread-locking compound to prevent shifting under recoil.
