I dont want to speak for CDI, and could be way off. here was the thread:

He had to build one from scratch... the idea for the CDI piece was to get them machined on a CNC to dramatically reduce the time involved. Still, it looks like modification of the bolt-face as well as inletting is involved. I have a 40X, but it is in a stock that is already inletted for a single-shot.
If you build the bottom metal right, you could have it match an M5 footprint that would make it fit a standard inletted stock very well. This is not so much for those of us who already own 40X's in McMillans as much as those of us who would like to buy a 40X and drop it straight into a McMillan stock. I think the main reason for the 40X's popularity around here is that it drops right into a 700 footprint.
For rimfire benchrest folks, they like the 40X because of massive amounts of ignition. The Stiller action promises a 40X that does not need truing and will be offered as a single-shot and a repeater, making both tactical and benchrest people happy. It is also about as expensive as a worked 40X...
