Cadex Strike Nuke or KRG Bravo?

[Helislacker]

I’m debating on getting a chassis and have settled on one of these two. I’m paying Canadian, so the KRG costs about $600 and the Cadex about $650. I haven’t heard a lot about the Cadex but I’m assuming it’s of higher quality/QC. Let me know which you think is the better option.

Thanks

The Bravo, when I purchased it last year, wasn't designed to handle as thick of a barrel contour as the Strike Nuke. I think KRG has updated the backbone design so that this is no longer an issue, but if you're purchasing older stock in Canada, it might be a concern.

I don't think the difference matters unless you want an absolutely massive tube for a gamer gun or a prone-only rifle. That being said, it's the only part of the KRG that is hard to upgrade later on. Everything else can be purchased separately (at least in the US).

The Bravo is a great chassis, especially for the price. Built by a great company with great CS. Plenty of support from KRG for accessories - you can really dress the chassis up and down. The ergonomics are great too, I especially love the grip. Overall, IMO I think it's the best budget chassis available.

I've never handled a Strike Nuke, so I can't make a direct comparison. Limited accessories compared to the Bravo. I don't like that it doesn't have an ARCA/RRS rail, and I wish the bottom of the forend was more flat. Besides my slight critiques, it seems like another great option in the budget chassis.

If you are planning on shooting PRS/NRL type comps with it, I would probably pick the Bravo for the reasons outlined above. But really, they both seem like great choices. @lowlight seems very impressed with the Strike Nuke from what I've heard on his podcasts, and he handles a lot of chassis'.

Best of luck, not a bad decision between the two.
