Understand the differences between the SIG CROSS, Daniel Defense DELTA 5 PRO and Tikka T3x Ace Game—with clear specifications and practical questions about fit, weight and ownership.
Reviewed September 22, 2026 · Manufacturer specifications, with Texas Guns editorial context
A modern .308 bolt-action rifle can combine an adjustable stock, a detachable magazine and a chassis-style layout in very different packages. The word “tactical” alone does not tell you its weight, dimensions or included equipment.
This guide compares three specific .308 configurations. It is a reference for understanding their published differences; it is not a hands-on test or a ranking of accuracy. Other barrel lengths, finishes and models in the same families may have different specifications.
These are manufacturer-listed rifle weights and dimensions. An optic, case and other equipment add to the load you will transport. Manufacturers may measure length and weight differently; the notes below identify important differences.
On a narrow screen, swipe the table sideways to see every model.

*Tikka reference configuration: TF1T2968A1SC973, from its global specification table. Regional offerings vary. Metric conversions are rounded. These figures do not describe every configuration or a complete equipped rifle.
A comparison of the selected configurations—not a quality or performance score. Bars share a zero baseline and a 12 lb scale.
The lightest of these three configurations, with a folding adjustable stock. SIG lists its folded length at 26.1 inches.
What to notice: its compact transport dimensions. A folded measurement does not describe the space required by a complete case or its contents.
This comparison uses the 20-inch Heavy Palma version. Its listed 10.8-pound weight makes it the heaviest configuration here.
What to notice: the overall package and adjustable stock. The DELTA 5 name covers more than one configuration; confirm the full model description.
Tikka describes the Ace Game as a platform for sporting and hunting use. The selected 20-inch version falls between the other two in listed weight.
What to notice: the exact barrel length and regional configuration. Ace Game and Ace Target are separate models.
No. This guide uses the current listing for CROSS-308-16B. Other CROSS variants and chamberings have their own specifications. Older articles may also quote figures that differ from the current product page.
No. Weight is a physical characteristic, not a quality rating. Consider comfort, transportation and the complete equipment package. This guide does not independently test reliability or accuracy.
Changing the barrel length, stock, finish or other factory options can change published dimensions and weight. Comparing complete manufacturer model numbers helps avoid mixing specifications from different versions.
Use only ammunition approved by the manufacturer for your specific firearm. Follow its markings and owner's manual; if the guidance is unclear, ask the manufacturer before using it.
Read the manufacturer's full conditions, including how it measures the result and what equipment or ammunition the claim assumes. A published claim is not a promise of an individual shooter's result. This comparison does not rank the rifles by accuracy.
Specifications were checked against the manufacturers' published pages on September 22, 2026. Product details can change. Use the current documentation for the exact model when confirming a specification.
Manufacturer specifications are identified separately from Texas Guns editorial observations. Inclusion in this guide does not indicate local availability or manufacturer endorsement.
