The SIG Sauer Cross TRAX (SIG part no. CROSS24316BTRX) is a bolt-action rifle chambered in .243 Winchester and built around a 16-inch barrel cut with a 1-in-9-inch twist, giving hunters a compact, easy-to-maneuver platform for a mild-recoiling, flat-shooting cartridge. It feeds from a 5-round detachable magazine and ships fully optic-ready, so mounting a scope does not require any additional gunsmithing. An ambidextrous safety makes the Cross TRAX comfortable to run for both right- and left-handed shooters, a detail that matters on a rifle built to move fast through brush and blinds. SIG built the Cross line around a chassis-style approach to hunting rifles, bringing precision-rifle ergonomics to a compact platform suited for youth, new, or smaller-framed shooters as well as anyone who wants a short, quick-handling .243.
