SIG’s modern entrant into the precision hunting rifle category was its Cross rifle, introduced in 2020. Over the years, the company has added to its Cross rifle line-up, with rifles tailored to PRS and law-enforcement users and SIG's recent Magnum version of the Cross. New for 2024, the company is introducing the Cross TRAX, a lightweight and compact precision hunting rifle.

The Cross TRAX bolt-action has all of the basic features of the original Cross rifle, including its one-piece modular receiver/chassis and a three-lug bolt that has a 60-degree throw. It has a two-stage match trigger and uses an AICS-pattern magazine with one five-round version provided. The initial chambering offered is .308 Win.

In an effort to save size and weight, the TRAX uses a 16” stainless-steel barrel with a tapered profile and its muzzle threaded 5/8x24 TPI. The aluminum handguard is a new ultra lightweight skeletonized design with a length of 11.5” that has M-Lok slots. Like the original Cross, the TRAX uses a folding stock but it is of a minimalist design with a “Leg Bone” profile that provides an optimal sight picture. This is matched with a minimalist grip taken from the MCX Rattler.

A combination of the short barrel and folding stock gives the TRAX an overall length of only 26” with the stock folded. To round out the compact package, the TRAX uses a smaller, lower-profile bolt handle. The rifle weighs 6.1 lbs., or a savings of about half a pound over the standard 16” barrel Cross rifle, and it has a satin barrel finish with other parts finished in black anodizing.
