That is one sweet looking rig. Job well done.

Have you tweaked the feed lips and or stretched the spring to give it a little more spring pressure?
Cadex actually makes 3 different mag configurations for the Tikka: AICS, Factory Tikka and CTR. Depending on what chassis you purchased you may have ordered the incorrect set up. Have you tried it with an AICS patterns mag?
If you want to send me the part number off the bill I will be able to confirm this for you. Email me at [email protected]
Thanks

First snow of the year and had to get the Cadex Freedom Lites new feet wet (falcon bipod) thanks to Matt at MH Ordnance.

Looks nice, did you use the Cadex Arca rail or a different brand? Also what grip is that?
I used the Area 419 rail, and it’s the Daniel Defense AR grip
Vestal’s Custom Rifle built my Shadow 40 in 375EnABELR
I can’t Be sure or I am just being fooled by different angles pics but is the dual and light forend the same length? What would be the longest forend that has a top rail? Looks like maybe your production rifles have longer forends maybe? Im talking myself into a tikka build and have always wanted a cadex!
Yes it is hard to tell from some pictures b/c they are only a .5" difference in legth. the Dual strike is 10.5" and the Lite is 10". The big difference between these 2 is the diameter. The Dual can take up to a 1.800" barrel as the lite is up to a 1.350" barrel.
hope this helps, let me know if you have any other questions.

Picked up a cadex CDX guardian in 6.5CM. I have always been am AI fanatic, but I think Cadex has converted me. This rifle is gorgeous. I have to say one of my favorite components I never see mentioned is that the folding stock has a buffer on it to prevent pinches and slams. Like a fancy cabinet door. Im wierd... I know. I hope I get to keep it, but I have too many rifles.
The woman on cover of the manual is pretty awesome as well

AI are amazing rifles but I will say I like my Cadex rifles more. Easier to get behind for me and I like the ergos more. I'm really surprised actually they dont have more of a following.
Double post..
Get a Sako TRG 22 magazine, and all of those feeding troubles are vanished, for ever.
CTR/TAC A1 magazines are poor quality, follower spring is like a impotent guy d..k, too soft steel, or it is too thin.
Cadex Sheepdog action. 6.5 PRC. 22" proof sendero 7.5 twist. Whiskey 3 folder. ZP5 3-15 MR2 in Arc mediums. Cadex DX2 trigger. TBAC Bipod. Spigot is on it's way still for the Whiskey3. Will wear my ultra 7 most of the time or the ultra 5 once that one gets approved. 156gr bergers with ADG brass. Well see how it does.

Since tha barrel is now all the way in the habdguard, and it´s pritty much closed, that should not give much heat mirage to the scope.
But also not having much air vantilation, barrel might get quite hot fast?
5 for 5 at 2195 at the SW ULR Match on 12/1/19. Shadow 375ct 32in 1-7 twist, Cutting Edge 400 gr lAZER. Scott also 5 for 5 that day.
I don’t think it will get hot any quicker. It will be run with a TBAC U7 with a mirage cover.
Never mind. I read the manual. I'll post pics once I get it put together.

Rifle is a Remington 40XC-KS. 223 Wylde.
Chassis is a closeout from Eurooptics swapped to the Magpul/SAPR combo. combo. Magazine is from MDT.
The SAPR isn't quite as tall as I'd like but it is workable. Magazine feeds okay but not great.

spoke with a friend about the 223 mag. he suggested drying some dry lube spray. if that dose not work he suggested warrantying it.

I'm trying to zero in on the material used on top of the cheek rest..... It's a softer stick or glued on material.... Looking to get more of that for my other rifles....
Any insights on what is used by cadex or alternative options would be appreciated

I have only had it together for about a day so I feel like I need to run more rounds through it before I can say whether the mag
is an issue.

How do you guys like Cadex actions vs AI, Surgeons and Defiance. Thinking about a AI or Cadex vs another custom.
I have an AXMC and Cadex Shadow. The Cadex compares very well to the AI. Both are very smooth. For me the mark of a good action is you never think about it when you are shooting.
Cadex action is similar in feel to my Bighorns, but not like the AI. Not that I necessarily prefer one to the other, but AI’s just have a different feel to them.

The Cadex offerings are nice actions. The CDX-30s in Both LA and SA in factory guns I had to break them in a bit. Something I didnt have to do with AI. But overall great stuff. The CDX-40 Shadow action is super smooth with limited rounds on it. The cadex R7 actions I have are really nice too. If only basing the choice on an action, it's hard to argue against the AI, But everything has its pros and cons.
Can you run AW/AX338 in the Cadex rifles?
NO you can not run AW/AX 338 mags in our rifles.
Nice build . I'm considering a SAC build like yours only using the very similar Terminus Apollo with a Proof CF 6.5 CREED. How's the Axiom feeding in that Cadex ?
Ah cheers for answering my question
So a few questions...First does anyone run a ultimatum deadline action in their Cadex chassis or know if they offer a chassis to accommodate? What are the main differences between the lite strike and lite competition? Thinking about starting a 6.5 PRC build
Lite strike has the quick adjust stock, and a shorter, larger diameter hand guard.
Lite comp has a skeleton stock, and a longer, thinner diameter hand guard.

Just got scope mounted on top of my new Kraken. Looking forward to doing some load test!
What caliber's did you get with your kraken?
