Cadex actually makes 3 different mag configurations for the Tikka: AICS, Factory Tikka and CTR. Depending on what chassis you purchased you may have ordered the incorrect set up. Have you tried it with an AICS patterns mag?Purchased a Cadex chassis for my Tac A1 several months back and this has been a problem from the beginning and I feel like I’ve read things in a negative way about the CTR style magazines. When I load the magazine into the chassis the first round always gets set in the chamber using the bolt, then usually the rounds after that the bolt face slides over top of it then I have to manipulate the magazine or the round by hand in order to get the bolt face to catch in order to insert the round into the chamber. Are there any tips or tricks for this? I’ll try to upload a video so you can see. Video didn’t work so I took screenshot of the bolt sliding past the round (not that you needed a visual)
Perfect!Got it fixed, just bent the spring as shown in the picture (found from a user on here on another forum) but was a great picture to “paint the picture “that I will screenshot. CTR mags (from a TacA1)
Looks nice, did you use the Cadex Arca rail or a different brand? Also what grip is that?Loving mine! Field Tactical Chassis with Stiller Tac300 in 6 Creedmoor with, spare PTG bolt and LA bottom metal to shoot 300win Mag. WTO SwitchLug with Criterion Barrels. Timney 40x flat trigger set to 1lb.
I used the Area 419 rail, and it’s the Daniel Defense AR gripLooks nice, did you use the Cadex Arca rail or a different brand? Also what grip is that?
I can’t Be sure or I am just being fooled by different angles pics but is the dual and light forend the same length? What would be the longest forend that has a top rail? Looks like maybe your production rifles have longer forends maybe? Im talking myself into a tikka build and have always wanted a cadex!Perfect!
Might grab that screen shot as well.
Thanks

Picked up a cadex CDX guardian in 6.5CM. I have always been am AI fanatic, but I think Cadex has converted me. This rifle is gorgeous. I have to say one of my favorite components I never see mentioned is that the folding stock has a buffer on it to prevent pinches and slams. Like a fancy cabinet door. Im wierd... I know. I hope I get to keep it, but I have too many rifles.
The woman on cover of the manual is pretty awesome as well

Since tha barrel is now all the way in the habdguard, and it´s pritty much closed, that should not give much heat mirage to the scope.
But also not having much air vantilation, barrel might get quite hot fast?
spoke with a friend about the 223 mag. he suggested drying some dry lube spray. if that dose not work he suggested warrantying it.Rifle is a Remington 40XC-KS. 223 Wylde.
Chassis is a closeout from Eurooptics swapped to the Magpul/SAPR combo. combo. Magazine is from MDT.
The SAPR isn't quite as tall as I'd like but it is workable. Magazine feeds okay but not great.View attachment 7200230
I have only had it together for about a day so I feel like I need to run more rounds through it before I can say whether the magspoke with a friend about the 223 mag. he suggested drying some dry lube spray. if that dose not work he suggested warrantying it.

How do you guys like Cadex actions vs AI, Surgeons and Defiance. Thinking about a AI or Cadex vs another custom.
Can you run AW/AX338 in the Cadex rifles?The Cadex offerings are nice actions. The CDX-30s in Both LA and SA in factory guns I had to break them in a bit. Something I didnt have to do with AI. But overall great stuff. The CDX-40 Shadow action is super smooth with limited rounds on it. The cadex R7 actions I have are really nice too. If only basing the choice on an action, it's hard to argue against the AI, But everything has its pros and cons.
NO you can not run AW/AX 338 mags in our rifles.Can you run AW/AX338 in the Cadex rifles?
Nice build . I'm considering a SAC build like yours only using the very similar Terminus Apollo with a Proof CF 6.5 CREED. How's the Axiom feeding in that Cadex ?Lite Competition chassis under a Curtis actionView attachment 7021045
Ah cheers for answering my questionNO you can not run AW/AX 338 mags in our rifles.
So a few questions...First does anyone run a ultimatum deadline action in their Cadex chassis or know if they offer a chassis to accommodate? What are the main differences between the lite strike and lite competition? Thinking about starting a 6.5 PRC build
