Was looking at the Drake Associates / Cadex Strike Dual 22M24 chassis and was trying to see what the real benefit on an 'upgrade' would be. Right now, I have a correct long action M24A2 with the AICS compatible bottom metal, HS Precision PST026 stock, MARS rail and Badger rings.
All together these components that would be switched out for the chassis weigh 7lbs 6 ounces. The chassis is listed at 3300 grams which is 7.27 pounds, so any weight savings is negligible.
Both take AICS mags. Both have fully adjustable LOP and cheek riser. Both have capabilities of mounting a clip on night site as well as side mounting AN/PEQ units.
The only real difference besides the fact the Cadex looks awesome, is the vertical adjustment of the butt pad, rail on stock for a monopod and the folding option which is nice. However, from where I am sitting with my current setup, is there anything I am missing as far as I could be missing out on? Or is this a nice upgrade for those that do not currently have all of the features that my rig currently does?
