Sig Sauer Cross Stainless/Black Bolt Action Rifle 308 Winchester 16" 5rd - $1439.99

Missed by 2 miles. Sig Sauer is not a conglomerate by any means whatsoever. I hope you shoot better than you think and speak English.

How embarrassing for you.

Thanks for the completely unnecessarily rude post. Have you shot this rifle? Have you put it through the paces yourself? If so I'd love to hear about what you did to test reliability and function through which scenarios. Assuming you haven't done that, we're left to rely on other people's reviews of the platform, which from what I've seen are quite positive about it for it's intended use. Feel free to disagree and provide links to reviews and data saying otherwise, I'd love to see them and read about the details. The original post talked about the RPR, which is absolutely not the same package or intent in any way shape or form, so I provided some clarification (over 10lb vs 6.5lb rifle). I'd also argue that the RPR isn't meant to be an ultra reliable and immaculate quality product, yet it still costs a similar amount as the Sig and is similarly well reviewed as a 'budget' option for long range shooting in the 6mm and 6.5mm CM. Desert Tech definitely makes some great rifles, but they are over twice (close to three times) the cost and still weigh a good bit more than this rifle. It's just not in the same tier and cannot be fairly compared. That's like telling people not to buy an AR-10 because everything else sucks compared to a KAC SR-25. Depending on what people are looking for in a rifle, there are plenty of great options at better prices. Not everyone is an operator who needs 100% reliability in a brutal environment. I don't know what triggered you, but I'd like to see the data so I can understand your logic.
