I have come to appreciate the concept of function over beauty. That is a nice rifle!

When I get a few more shekels together I'll be starting my light weight bullpup carry rifle. It won't be pretty but it will be short and light.

I loved my Sig Cross so much, when I handled the Trax, I handed them money.

Sub 8 or 10.
Assuming that’s just the rifle?
Sometimes. Sometimes not.
Not sure what your answer means... How heavy is the rifle suppressor combo by itself?

Have not found one locally. Going to a big gun show this weekend maybe I'll find one to fondle. In the mean time, is the folding stock solid when it locks? Doesn't look like there is much real estate for a cheek weld, assuming that is ok in practical use?

Not sure of the weight all put together. But, it’s still much lighter than most of my rigs.

The hinge is very solid. Actually impressed.

Yeeeeaaaaaaahhhh, about that...

My jeep is lighter than most of your rigs! I remember trying to shoulder your old 40X in the AI stock offhand and immediately questioning my own masculinity... :lol:

The weight of the Trac is 5.9 lbs. what you ad to that adds weight. The choice is yours.
The Cross weighs 6.2 lbs or something. It has more adjustment in the stock and a longer forend.
Make your choice.

The Cross series, both the original and the Trax, have had my attention since their respective introductions. I just haven't spent enough time afield in the last few years to convince myself to spend the money yet.

Any accuracy reports yet?

Kinda hemmed up this week with a new bionic leg. Surgery was Thursday. Before that, I had to go out of town again. Hopefully this coming week or next weekend I’ll get to shoot it.

They ain’t cheap. But, they are made well and are actually switch barrel!!! Little bit of work, but……..you can change their barrels relatively user friendly.

Not as easy as my other new rifle I haven’t revealed yet. But…….

You’re shopping for a 6.5 Creed barrel?

Duuuuuude. Those must be some SERIOUSLY good pain meds, man.

No!! It was just the first barrel to pop up as an example. I hate the CM. But, people just keep giving them to me!!! It’s a conspiracy!!
