I'm happy to let you know that we currently work on a new version of our M-LOK chassis weights and they will now fit in one slot. In other words, they will be compatible with the Strike Nuke! Stay tuned
That’s good to know, thanks.I'm happy to let you know that we currently work on a new version of our M-LOK chassis weights and they will now fit in one slot. In other words, they will be compatible with the Strike Nuke! Stay tuned
Shadow 375 CT 34in barrel work done by Robert Vestal
I have two Remingtion 700 actions that I am building, A short action in 308 and a Long Magnum in 300 Win Mag. Both builds will use Preferred Barrel Blanks pre-fits with barrel nuts (Remage Barrels) with a badger style recoil lug that is 0.250 thick. Will this type of action-barrel combo fit in the Strike Nuke Evo Stock and the Field Competition Chassis?
I have one in 6.5x47 Lapua and 300 norma for two years. Every barrel change I have ever done has repeated the exact same zeros with no shift whatsoever. Its a bulky rig but the consistency and 1/4 MOA or better accuracy is amazing.
After searching the forums, I answered my own question, Nuke with a Remage Barrel Nut. Even though it is a TL3 with an X-Caliber barrel, it is basically the same as what I am planning on building.
I found mine actually quite picky when I did my load development, The results were awful until I found the one then it was like no other rifle. I suspect thats the barrel though. I've had a few cadex with exactly the same issue.
Took a few hours of machining, but I was able to stuff an ER25 into a Cadex 1 piece mount. Fat Guy in a little coat, fat guy in a littttttttllllleee coooooaaaaaat!

I prefer to shoot my Tremor with the Terminator T6 brake. They both work very well, albeit slightly differently.
The Cadex brake channels the gases angled backwards and upwards - which means the barrel is pulled forwards to reduce recoil and pushed lower to reduce muzzle rise.
The Terminator brake channels the gases backwards only - which means the barrel is only pulled forwards to reduce recoil.
I generally prefer muzzle brakes that angle backwards/sideways only for precision shooting - minimize any external vertical forces.
In terms of recoil reduction, i don't have a rig to measure quantitatively. But if you put a gun to my head and ask me to choose the brake with the lower recoil, it will probably be the Terminator T6.
The T6 needs to be timed and Loctite, while the Cadex brake does not - that's another consideration.
This alone would do it for me. Cadex makes an excellent brake, distinctive and easily recognized. Stick with that. My Cadex rifles all have their brakes on them... 50 bmg, 408 Cheytac and lessor calibers.

I often frequent EuroOptic. But recently I used Buckeye Tactical / Buckeye Optics for the purchase of my Lite Competition folder, R7 Short action and DX2 trigger. I had nothing but positive results with them.
kind of off topic
from the outside looking in...why isnt cadex more popular
i know the hide is a AI friendly site, but i dont even read about cadex in gun rags that much
anyone have info/ideas
not having one so its only opinion, but it seems like a nice piece of kit with more than enough options, accurate etc
thanks

I think it might be an protectionism/anti-Canadian attitude. I’ve heard that an alphabet agency requested a rifle for their trials and I think it was allegedly sabotaged so it wouldn’t pass.
Their customer service is top notch, the rifles are accurate and beautiful. I can’t say enough good things about them.
I helped my local gunshop to order Cadex rifles in, so I get to inspect them all. I’ve been a Cadex owner for 5 years and now see the dealer side, I’m definitely impressed.

Market proliferation is a tricky thing. I've had Cadex rifles of multiple types since they were first released. Up here in Canada, I needed a new bolt due to some ejection issues (6.5x47 Lapua isn't long action friendly) and I had a new bolt from cadex that works in under two weeks. I ordered another AI bolt 2 months ago and when I asked they figured early next year. Cadex builds great rifles and I think the lack of understanding and reviews is hurting them in the US market. YouTube Cadex Kraken and there's no reviews or anything, YouTube AI reviews and 100s pop up... Maybe its time a made a review video...
They were Ukrainian and they were pretty good, but still not what most are looking for since it is not in English. I also found a few in French that were good as well, but the language barrier is still an issue.
You are 100% correct, and they do need to get more reviews out in the US of there rifles, chassis/stocks and parts.
Try to find reviews of there Strike Nuke chassis, or even that there is a Snipers Hide version Short Action and Long Action, that comes with some additional parts?
The only review I seen that’s in English and extensive is from a YouTube channel called the hunting gear guy that reviews a cadex r7 sheepdog and the PRS network has an extensive review on a cadex lite too.
Given the complete lack of information on the Kraken on the internet I made a video showing one, let me know if I missed anything!
I can't seem to get on the Cadex site? I'm trying to find out about Arca rails for my new Cadex lite strike? Any help?
@Cadex Defence ?
@Cadex Defence ?
Can anyone in here help me out? I bought a cadex lite strike rem 700 chassis from a fellow hide member and when I went to put my origin in the chassis, everything was fine (though I didn't like having to remove my actions rail) until I went to put the cadex action rail on my origin action.
The holes don't quite line up. The two forward holes seem to line up, but if you line them up, the rear hole is off a bit. I will call cadex and see if they can help but I was hoping there's something that I don't know that isn't in the manual or something.
Can't really see how it can be fixed other than taking out some material on the rear hole to let the screw slide forward enough to thread into my action??? (Obviously that isn't something I want to do)
Also, are you supposed to use your actions rail screws or does it normally come with screws to mount the cadex action rail to the action?
Thanks.

It's a clone, an Origin. I've had many chassis but of course none of the others require removing the actions rail and attaching a new rail to my action.
When the rear hole is lined up it throws off the other two like so. (Pic 1 is showing rear hole aligned, pic 2 shows the front 2 holes out of alignment when the rear hole is aligned.)
Here's a pic of just my action with the rail removed in case it helps.

I guess I could, but I don't really want to. I would be deleting one of the holes if I did also. The front hole is pretty close to the end of the rail.

How do you know what actions will fit in this thing ? I don't want to sell it to someone else knowing it may not even fit. These things are expensive.
I guess I can look into the field comp handguard. I don't want to buy a rem700 action though. Thanks, I will check into that
