Cadex offers a field series 20 moa top rail that can be mounted where that plastic insert is. The insert is just there to cover up the holes if its not used.

With the competition series of chassis most scopes will fit with a 1.25 height scope mount with very little clearance to spare, to the point of it could be hard to get a scope cap on. With the extra built in MOA on the mounts you will likely need to go to a little higher mount. If you are needing a higher mount you should check out our Unitized mounts, they are rock solid and a reasonable price.
cheers,
Ryan
It will depend on the height of the picatinny rail on the TL3 action. I originally put the spuhr 4902 (pictured) on my Cadex light competition chassis and the Ultimatum Deadline Long Action (20MOA rail) in 300 PRC with a ATACR 5-25x56 and it cleared. There is about 1/8" clearance which is more room than it looks in the picture due to the angle.
Ended going with a 4808 (44.4MOA) for 64.4MOA total scope angle and still have about 7MOA travel below zero with 120MOA of elevation available on the ATACR. I might have gotten away with a 4802 which is 6mm lower but it would have been real close.

Is that the one Eurooptic had on sale? If so, you did really good on that one!
Black is still my favorite color too!
FDE is ok. Lol
Yes. Simple. One screw / knob, to take it off. Takes about 10 seconds or less.
Dressed for success, plus baby brother.
Tremor 50. Soon to be wearing a new 40" .416 match barrel.
The ground is that color almost half of the year up here. It should blend right in. Lol.
You're going to love it. Sniper grey is definitely their best color! Jake's cheytac is one of the best looking rifles besides his flectarn AI! He's got all the looker's!Congrats... Good looking 50...I think the white looks good, have Cadex Lite Strike chassis coming soon from Euro, ordered the sniper grey.
Small caliber fun with a Cadex custom build...
...and more fun in a bit larger caliber...
...and more fun in a bit larger caliber...
Quick potato pic for now:
Problem: Cadex sent 8-40 bolts for the 20moa base. Savage short actions use 6-48. At least I know the base is right because the bolts they sent won't even thread through the base itself. Not happy about this but eh, everything else fits fine. Gonna have to wait for the new bolts I ordered on midway to show up before I can zero it in.

My chassis should be shipping from EO’s next week. Cadex stayed it would be on next shipment to them.
It’s a lefty and been waiting 6 weeks for the build.
Can’t wait...

I’ll be running the Cadex Lite Strike Chassis in Sniper Grey, Bighorn TL3, TT Diamond pro curved, 2 Shilen SSM 26” bbl in 6mm Dasher and 6.5CM, APA Lil Bastards brakes. Been told the TL3 with medium tang will drop in with no issues. I may buy another TL3, TT Diamond and a MPA Matrix and drop the 6mm dasher in it. Two purposely built guns, or just do bbl swaps if I want to shoot a different caliber. Will see how it goes time wise swapping out..
Here's my first long range precision rifle, chose a Cadex Field Tactical for it.
We had to cut a notch in the handguard for my Defiance Deviant Tactical receiver, I think it came out fabulous after Duracoat.

One of these days I'll have to put some effort into taking better pics. This thing deserves much better than what I'm doing.
Does anyone know if a Tubb T7T trigger will fit into a Cadex Lite Competition chassis without modifying it?
Mine finished in 6mm Dasher.
The fit and finish of the Cadex Defense Chassis is something to see.

How does the 300prc perform? Very keen on one have you been able to stretch it's legs at all??? That set-up is straight porn
I’ve only been able to get out a few times with it. Started at 700 yards with the 12”x 20”, 9”x 9” & 4”x 4” plates. Once I got centered the 9”x 9” was effortless and went 2 for 3 on the 4”x 4”.How does the 300prc perform? Very keen on one have you been able to stretch it's legs at all??? That set-up is straight porn
Form there I got a little aggressive and went straight to 2176 yards. Had it absolutely surrounded but no hits on the 20”x 24” plate. Splash high, low, left & right including one through the leg on my stand. A little wind with a 3 1/2 second flight time can wreak havoc on your shot.
Going to go back to 1200 yards then a mile before I give the 2167 yards a shot again.
I absolutely love the setup everything about it scream quality.

2167 yards, target on spot above bullet tip.
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 AustraliaI’ve only been able to get out a few times with it.

I watch most of Mark & Sam‘s videos. It’s pretty impressive what they can with a large assortment of calibers. They were the ones that inspired me to keep reaching out further and further. My original goal two years ago was to shoot 1000 yards with the 6.5 Creedmoor which I was able to get out to 1200 yard. After that last year I went 3 for 3 at a mile with the 338 lapua. Now it’s see how far I can keep pushing it.
Does the TL3 and/or Origin work with the top rail in the Lite Strike Chassis? What screws did you get?
There is some mods that are needed to make the top rail line up, just small relief areas. The screws were 8-40, everything plugs and plays nice with the TL3 action. The action fits perfect with the medium tang, the back screw on the top rail, nearest to bolt does not line up. The two fronts do, you have to shim the top rail about .040”, if not your rail will bend. The top rail is very rigid, will not move at all when shimmer correctly..

A guy on a Cadex Facebook posted this. I personally want something like this for my Shadow 40. Not because I can use it as a carry handle but to stiffen where the forend and chassis mate. I imagine that there’s a tiny bit of flex there because I do not believe it’s ridged enough. I could be wrong and that’s fine. My concern is when you use a pic mounted Charlie tarac and any amount of flex will cause a POI shift with your Charlie’s zero.
If he is selling, sign me up for one also. I need it for my Tremor, albeit mine only has a 32" barrel...
It be nicer if it could be manufactured in similar aluminum material as the Cadex Tremor chassis.
It would kind of bug me to have the carrier made out of composite material, since I have no idea what "alumide" feels like to the touch...
And if it gives, it will be 35/40lbs of combined weight landing on the scope.
