Picked up a Cadex CDX-30 from MHSA a few weeks back. Finally got out to shoot today. Very accurate and I’m really liking the chassis ergos.

I was wondering when someone was going to buy that thing.
Few questions for the group:
Can someone explain the Roller bedding. Seems like it’s just cylindrical rods glued into slots for matting surface for the action.
How much torque do you guys use for the action screws? I’ve always used 60in/lbs but recently people have been beating on their rifles to simulate hard useage and showing a POI shift when rifles aren’t bedded properly. This question, sparked the first question.
Why in the hell does Kraken barrels cost $1,200-1,300.00???
-Both my current Cadex folding stock (Lite) factory long action rifles do not have roller bedding. Along with the 308 guardian rifle I just sold. Not sure what ones do?
65 inch pounds is what I was told from Cadex. Have to look at my manual. For switch barrel rifles I perfer the Accuracy International AXMC.
My Long Action Lite Comp chassis has roller bedding in it.
I’m running a LA BigHorn Arms action which didn’t specify the torque spec. Edit: just called and they said 55in-lbs
I prefer the Kraken switch barrel design. Not saying I’m buying one but I would if their barrels didn’t cost as much as a new action. At that price, just have a multi rifles lol.
Who makes this aftermarket stock and will it fit all other cadex chassis ?Can you share the answers?
I've been thinking that starting from an OT Core chassis and using a slightly more streamlined buttstock would work well. Something like this from Cadex customer photos:

Accurate Mag and AICS feed fine in mine. Mine is a factory gun if that matters.Hey all, just wanted to see what you guys are using for S/A mags in the Cadex chassis. Thanks!
I've used accurate, ARC, and MDT in my Tikka/Cadex with no issuesHey all, just wanted to see what you guys are using for S/A mags in the Cadex chassis. Thanks!

Accurate and MDT for me as well. Tight lock up, but it’s all very new. I have sanded a Magpul to work as well, and it still works in my rpr too.
Anyone know which action the Shadow has in it or who manufactures the action for the Shadow? I’m assuming it’s a larger action than the Shepherd because of what it’s shooting.
Just trying to inform myself before purchasing
I have almost the exact same build getting finished up at short action customs in 6.5PRC! Do you like it? Also, where did you get that bolt knob?Here is my new Curtis Vector Cadex build. View attachment 7055757
are you getting the AXMC? I really considered the AI before going with the Cadex chassis, Vector action, Bartlein barrel and Huber concepts... I might try to trade in a couple of my custom rifles for the AXSR once that’s been out for a while...Well it's balanced really well and I was hoping to shoot it but, I am working on a trade for an AI, so I may not have a chance to shoot this one. I will build another sometime in the future. The bolt knob is from MPA and I like it alot, made the bolt lift seem a little lighter since it add a little bit of length.
What action do you have on that?View attachment 7059143
And tried this target shooting as fast as I could at 100 yds
What caliber?! Looks awesome!Cadex tremor I built myself
I have that same action! Will it fit the model for REM 700 LA Mag w CIP collet? I believe it should.....Defiance action / Bartlein tube sitting in a Competition Lite Chassis in .338 Lapua.

Dumb question, probably should have asked before installing my Field tactical, last night I was installing the sling attachment and went through the instructions and realized I was to use Loctite, I didn’t use Loctite on one single bolt however, I torqued everything to exact spec . Are there certain bolts that must have Loctite?
MACTECH, that looks so good. Eye candy. I have been thinking either an AI or Cadex, and am tilted towards a CADEX CDX-40 Shadow in 375CT, but not sure if I am missing out on anything by not going with the upcoming AI ASR instead. I see a lot more AI AXMC for sale than CADEX rifles, and the CADEX rifles seem harder to get.Kraken .308 / .300 win mag combo. Even though I really wasn't excited about the tools required to perform barrel swaps, I went ahead and tried one. I'll report back with a review and comparison to the AXMC.

Any views/opinions?
