I like the ergos. I have since changed the optic mount to a higher 1.4 inch Spuhr Throw lever mount.

What’s your barrel length?Almost have the tikka field Comp just about where I want it. Still can’t decide on a grip. Who can spot the outlier?

Still looks like very good groupings at 700 yard and i have seen videos of individuals pushing these rounds out to 2000 yards and beyond with very good success check out this video from a ELR couple in Western Australia
Sorry for the late reply, but that is the original 20" CTR barrel that came with it. I now have a 22" Proof Carbon barrel on it.What length barrel is that
The max barrel OD for the Dual Strike that the Shadow and Tremor sit in is 1.800"What’s the max barrel OD for the Shadow and Tremor chassis?
ThanksSorry for the late reply, but that is the original 20" CTR barrel that came with it. I now have a 22" Proof Carbon barrel on it.
Does some one know the color code of this green Cadex chassis?
Cadex has decreased color options on the chassis line, so this one is no longer there, but if some one know the code of it, i would be pleased.
Thank youHello Sir, sorry but we no longer have the code for this color. The name was Zombie Green but that is the only information we have.
I'd go AXMC to be honest. I was in the same boat as you last year. (And I'm also from Belgium btw). I chose AXMC.I'm in the verge of ordering either a Cadex Kraken or the new AI AXMC MK3 (similar to AXSR in the US). Want to get it with .308. 6.5CR and 300 Norma in one buy.
Cadex would cost me about 2-3K euro (3-4K Us$) more (any of these rifle systems will set me back +12k$ minimum).
Is see some advantages of the Cadex but also some drawbacks. Cadex would have better POI after change of barrel, the rifle looks better (to me) and the Rem700 platform allows for some more flexibility in aftermarket triggers etc. At the same time I don't know any Kraken users here were I live (The Netherlands) so I thing re-sale value also might be less then a AI. I have also seen some remarks on the replacement barrel availability but in Europe both are difficult to get.
Would you have any seen any other benefits of the Kraken vs the mentioned AI?

How do you get the Kraken with skeleton stock? Do you just ask for it? And does Cadex guarantee a certain MOA? I've been wanting to order one of these forever.Here’s my Kraken in 308win. Very pleased with it! Shoots 0.25 MOA everyday! Got it after I sold my AXMC and would not go back.View attachment 7395742View attachment 7395741

What height is your scope mount?Got back to the 2167 yard spot with the 300 PRC on a 30” x 30” plate. With a bit of a gusty breeze I had hits on my 3rd, 5th & 8th shots. Felt great to get hits at this range on the 3rd time I’ve tried. My wife got a great video on which you can hear the ring of the steel about 9 seconds after the shot.

Yes it can be done but you’ll need to add a locking plate to block the rotation of the rear stockDoes anyone know if you can, or have put an XLR TR-2 buttstock on a Field Competition Chassis? Can't find the post anymore, but I thought I saw someone put an MDT folding adapter on another type of fixed Cadex chassis.
Is there any particular one you recommend?Yes it can be done but you’ll need to add a locking plate to block the rotation of the rear stock
It’s Spuhr 4808 which is 44mm high with 44.4 MOA of cant.What height is your scope mount?
Nice build - does the stock fold over that bolt knob pictured ?Tikka T3X CTR in .308 in a Competition Lite Chassis (I think)

Build turned out great. That was the other color that I was considering for my chassis. Which Spuhr mount did you end up going with?300 PRC Field competition chassis, 26” rock creek barrel 7twist, Big Horn TL3 action built by Patriot Valley arms. Haven’t even had a chance to shoot it yet. But I will have some of Josh’s 241 solids loaded for me.

I found my chassis here. Ordering from Cadex....the wait time and the additional taxes just does not make sense.Where in the lower 48 are you guys buying cadex chassis from?

We have a rapidly growing network of dealers in the US that you can choose from. The best way to find them is at the link below. If you have a local dealer interested in getting set up as a dealer have them email me at [email protected]. As for lead times on chassis you are looking at 4-6 weeks on the majority of products.Where in the lower 48 are you guys buying cadex chassis from?
Anyone own a Kraken and have a gunsmith make barrels for it?
I may have a good deal on one.
I’m wonder is there’s any smiths out there that have the tenon information to chamber the barrels and just use the rifle like a regular shouldered barrel without needing Cadex kraken action wrench.
what I’m not wanting to do is buy a $1300.00 barrel from cadex when clearly a smith could easily chamber the barrel like any other action out there.
I also wonder if the 30/300/33 action wrench would work in the Kraken with or without any modification. I think it would be similar since the actions are the same size. 1.55”. I’m assuming the raceways are similar as well.
Can you do the same with your regular non MC actions? Prefits can be had for close to $800 for most other actions. I think most of us can do without the additional cost of fluting.The Tenon drawing for the Kraken has not been released for use by general gun smiths as the time, research and testing that went into this project was a huge investment and we do not want it copied. None of the action wrenches we offer will work in the Kraken other then the Kraken wrench with a factory barrel.
As for the price lets take into account that
1. The barrel comes fluted, cerakoted, threaded for a brake and head spaced perfectly to your action.
2. We are using premium Bartlien barrels
3. You do not have to pay to ship your action to a gun smith and then back.
4. You can schedule your new barrel to be delivered, and if you are in a pinch we usually have barrels ready to go that could be to you with in a week.
You should also take a look at the other multi cal guns on the market. We are actually cheaper then most of them.
Let us know if you have any other questions.
Cheers,

"Say hello to my little friend." - Cadex CDX-50 Tremor, 32 inch barrel with Terminator T6 brake. Hybrid Stealth Vortex with matching Razor Gen2 for color. What a "blast" to shoot, literally...

The 50bmg is a totally different beast to shoot accurately and consistently. Call me a wimp of whatever you want, but managing recoil on the 50bmg consistently is an exercise onto itself. I have gotten 3-5 shot groups of about 2 inches or less at 300 yards, but it requires me to really focus and do my job. Having inconsistent shoulder pressure, bipod pre-load, flinching(however slightly), throws shots off.What kind of accuracy have you been getting with the 50? Between BMG, Cheytac, and Lapua there are all kinds of options.
