I’m not too big on the hand guard not having more than one place to put a qd on the side... if you go with lite-strike, you get more attachment points. It’s a shorter tube, but...... I honestly don’t miss the extra couple of inches. Also, unless you’re just shooting a LOT, I’m not sure how much difference the “mirage reducing technology” makes.
The folding stock hinge makes the perfect thumb shelf, too, so there’s that. Oh, yeah, I have the quick adjust (not skeleton), and the stock will NOT fold and lock with the Vector action closed. Bolt handle is just not tucked enough. I imagine it’s the same for the axiom.
Alllllll said and done, though, Cadex is so money. Of course you’ll like it ?
