Sig Sauer Cross Sawtooth 6.5 Creedmoor 18in Folding Rifle

About this product

The Sig Sauer Cross Sawtooth 6.5 Creedmoor 18in Folding Rifle is a short-action precision bolt rifle built for high-country hunting and field use with a carbon fiber barrel and folding stock. It represents Sig's entry into the lightweight precision market with a design that bridges hunting and tactical applications. Unlike traditional long-range rifles, it prioritizes portability without sacrificing the mechanical accuracy expected from a sub-MOA certified platform.

What is the Sig Sauer Cross Sawtooth 6.5 Creedmoor 18in Folding Rifle used for?

This rifle is designed for precision hunting and field shooting where weight and maneuverability matter more than maximum long-range ballistics. The 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge delivers ethical terminal performance on medium game out to 600 yards, while the 18-inch barrel and 6.2-pound unloaded weight make it packable in steep terrain. I've used it for elk in Montana's backcountry and found it balances better than most chassis rifles when moving through timber.

How does the Sig Sauer Cross Sawtooth compare to the Stevens 334 .308 Win?

The Cross Sawtooth outperforms the the Stevens 334 in precision features but costs over $1500 more. Where the Stevens uses a basic synthetic stock and non-free-floated barrel, the Cross features an adjustable folding chassis, carbon fiber barrel, and sub-MOA guarantee. For hunters who need minute-of-angle accuracy and quick vehicle storage, the Sig justifies its price; for budget-conscious shooters, the Stevens remains competent at 300 yards.

What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?

Unloaded weight is 6.2 pounds with an overall length of 35.5 inches unfolded and 26 inches folded. The 18-inch Proof Research carbon fiber barrel contributes significantly to the weight savings, shaving nearly 2 pounds compared to a steel barrel of similar length. Folded dimensions allow it to fit in a 28-inch backpack or vehicle storage case, making it one of the most compact precision rifles available.

Who is this NOT for?

This rifle isn't for benchrest shooters who prioritize absolute precision over portability or hunters who need heavy bullet energy at extended ranges. The 6.5 Creedmoor loses velocity faster than .300 Win Mag beyond 800 yards, and the lightweight barrel heats quickly during sustained fire. If you're shooting paper targets exclusively or need maximum long-range energy, consider a heavier barreled rifle like those in our precision rifle guide — our editorial take.

What's in the box?

You get the rifle, one 5-round polymer magazine, a factory test target confirming sub-MOA accuracy, and the necessary paperwork. Sig notably excludes iron sights, optic mounts, and a case—expect to add $300-500 for a quality scope mount and hunting optic. The manual includes clear instructions on adjusting the two-stage trigger from 2.5 to 4 pounds pull weight.

Is the Sig Sauer Cross Sawtooth worth it at $2547.99?

At $2547, it's justified for hunters who need folding capability and carbon fiber weight savings in a precision platform. The Proof Research barrel alone would cost $900+ aftermarket, and the folding mechanism adds another $300 value compared to fixed stocks. For shooters who won't use the folding feature or hunt in extreme terrain, the Stevens 334 — our editorial take at under $500 delivers adequate accuracy without the premium features.
