For a variety of reasons, some health related, some due to the loss of any range over 100 yards, I am parting with my Cadex Kraken. This comes complete in 4 calibers as detailed below, .338 Lapua Magnum, .300 Win Mag, .308 Win and 6.5 Creedmoor. This was bought by me new, directly from Cadex in July of 2018. All of the barrels have been shot, some more than others and I have tried to faithfully record this. My preference would be to sell as a complete package and not start splitting up rifle from barrels, etc. I’m happy to discuss the provenance of the rifle or any aspect of the sale with serious buyers. Payment options can be discussed, but I will manage all shipping and insurance from my FFL to your FFL at my cost. Thanks!

Description
The Cadex CDX-Kraken is an innovative multi-caliber rifle designed to adapt to any mission. The Kraken currently features the lowest change in POI of any other multi-caliber weapon system on the market. Its multi-caliber capabilities are based on the traditional barrel to action threading system that incorporates a torque system on the breech side allowing for rapid barrel changes. Kraken barrels have a 1.3” heavy straight taper with a barrel band and muzzle threading and are produced by Bartlein with 5R single cut rifling. The robust bolt features 3 lugs and has a 60° throw for rapid and reliable action cycling. The trigger is Cadex’s own DX2 Evo two stage trigger.
The Cadex Kraken sits in its own proprietary chassis that combines design elements of the Dual Strike and the Light Strike chassis that is highly ergonomic and adaptable. At the rear of the Kraken’s chassis is a completely tool-less buttstock that is adjustable for length of pull, cheek piece height, and recoil pad height. The magazine well is designed to use interchangable magazine sleeves that accept most AICS pattern magazines. The chassis system features an over-the-action full length top rail that is available in 20, 30, or 45 MOA.
Note: The 6.5 used the same Bolt and Magazines as the .308 Win
It’s a lot of dough, but you’ll never see a better deal! Calling this the “Pre-Election Day Sale”!
If you bought today, you’d be closing in on $20K! The barrels alone run $1,385.95/each
