Cadex Strike Nuke Vs. KRG Bravo

[RFutch]

Anyone have both? How do they compare?

I have multiple Bravos and I am wondering how the Strike Nuke feels in comparison. Mostly concerned with the grip area and reach to the trigger.

Thanks

I am in process of building two Rem 700 actions with Remage barrels and I am now looking at what chassis I want to put them in. I have a KRG Bravo 308 build and like the chassis, so I keep looking at the KRG X-Ray for these two builds, but I do like the Cadex Strike Nuke.

So I am kind of in the same boat and I wonder if the Strike Nuke has the space to take a Remage barrel? The only other thing I see that might be an issue is the weight, 3 LB for the X-Ray and 5 LB for the Strike Nuke. Every thing else I have come across seems pretty good, like the trigger spacing from the grip.

This is what I found thread wise on Strike Nuke.....

If they work they work but man, strike nuke has got to be in the top ten cringe-worthy names.

Admittedly, I don't have a Strike Nuke, but I do have a Bravo. Looking at Cadex' site, I'm not seeing anything that the Nuke does that the Bravo does not with the addition of KRG's height adjustable buttpad, and it looks like KRG will still be less $$$. Of course this is subjective, but the name and the aesthetics are a big turn off for me personally.

 

[RFutch]

I get it, I have 3 Bravos. Wanting something different this time.

 

[Lost_Phil]

I get as well, but I have several Bravos builds as well, and one Oryx chassis build. I also have tried a few MDT chassis (HS and LSS) and found I am not much of a full chassis guy. Though I would think about a AI AT chassis since it warped in plastic like the KRG is.

Now after searching the forums some more, I did find these two post that answered my questions.

TL3 With Remage Barrel and Nut

As it looks right now, I am planning on using the Strike Nuke in both of my Rem 700 builds. I also like the fact that the long action takes CIP magazines.

 

[RFutch]

Let us know how you like it when you get it.

Just an update on this, I did order one short and one long action chassis, and will be getting them in about 10 weeks. Once I get them, I will do a short review of them. One thing I did learn on the long action chassis, it has spacers to let you use 3.715/3.775/3.850 size mags, which is cool feature. Here is the link to my barrels which I just received.

Tagging in. I’m interested in this chassis too and waiting impatiently for more info

Strike nuke is a great option. Compares favorably in feel to a McMillan or Manners but at a substantial savings. While the bravo is similar the Cadex felt more durable and fit better

 

[Kickin45]

@lowlight has talked quite extensively about the SN.

 

[Matt_3479]

Unfortunately I only own the bravo. Yesterday at a match though, in my squad we had 1 bravo, 1 mdt xrs and 2 strike nukes. I got to handle all three for a short period of time but didn’t shoot with them! They all felt nice. I love my bravo’s but I’m hoping I can meet up with these guys ans spend some time with there set up as it has me thinking now.

I will wade in, with only 1/2 of a perspective.

I have followed KRG, and they seem to build an affordable and usable chassis, but I have no experience with the brand, other than some admiration from afar.

In my view, Cadex does not make a bad product. Even their budget and hunting rifles and chassis are great products. We are Cadex dealers, but we sell other brands. I have hands-on experience with a number of Cadex products, and have spent time in the Cadex factory. Everything is top-notch. It would take a lot for me to choose another brand, given the same general price range, unless there was a strong reason to not buy Cadex. For instance, I like the AI and the Barrett ASR multiple barrel guns probably over the Kracken. Barrel swap guns are a different breed.

Update.......

Cadex should be shipping out my Strike Nuke Evo chassis by October 27 and I am hoping to have them by November. I will put a video of them up once I get them in near future.

Well I just received my two Strike Nuke Evo chassis yesterday and did a short video of them today. The quality is top notch and surprisingly they feel like a Macmillan A4/A5 and are well balanced. They are heavier then a KRG Bravo or the MDT XRS by about 1 to 2 pounds and priced about 100-150$ more as well. But if you are looking for the feel of an A4 type stock and do not have the money, they are a good budget alternative.

By no means am I a video expert, so take the video with a grain of salt.



Here are a few pics I took as well at the bottom.....

Thanks for the video and pics. The strike nuke may have crept ahead of the bravo for me

 

[Long Range 338]

Nice video. Love the strike nuke.

 

[motobie]

Can you tilt the buttplate both directions?

Funny that this thread gets brought up. I purchased a used Strike Nuke evo from the px a few weeks ago. I haven’t done anything other than fondle it so I can’t give any real info yet. Initial impressions are pretty sweet though

 

[Lost_Phil]

You can not cant the but pad, but it can be moved up or down by an inch or so, even with spacers installed.

 

[motobie]

Thanks for the reply. It's weird that so many nice stocks simply don't have this feature.

 

[Kickin45]

Life into a dead thread.

How do you buy a Strike Nuke Evo?
Cadex doesn’t sell to the public, all the retailers in Canada say they can’t ship any gun parts to the US. None of the Cadex dealers in the States carry the SNE.

How the frick do I get my hands on one?!!!

Do I need a friend in Canada to buy it and mail it to me?!

I’ll sell you mine. Get a few more people interested and I’ll start the bidding at a modest one millyun dollars

But seriously, keep an eye on the PX or other used markets. That’s actually how I got mine

Eurooptic has some in stock.

Do they sell a full length ARCA rail with it? These days if a stock doesn't have a full length arca option available it's no longer in the running for me and I think many others probably feel the same.

 

[Kickin45]

I saw the 2 on Euro Optic.
I want black or FDE, but at this point, I may need to settle on whatever I can get.

How do we have MDT (Canadian) comin out our ears, but no Cadex?

Is that the Olive Drab @dogman ?

 

[Lost_Phil]

Do a search for the Cadex Rep here on the Hide and PM them with your list and they will get your order started. That is how I bought my two SNE stocks in Olive Drab and they were shipped from Canada.

You may even want to ask if they still offer the Sniper Hide version that comes with a few extras.

Another option is to call Euro Optics and order it from them, but do not order it from the website, call them and see if they will cut you a break on the price.
