Great follow up video and I hope you and your’s are doing well. I’ve come to greatly enjoy the detail and pacing of your reviews. Best wishes for continued channel growth.
I have been using a Cadex Guardian Lite for my sniper rifle at work. Everything prior to it was a Remington factory or custom built. The Guardian Lite is in a whole different league! The action is like a Swiss watch, butter smooth, and feeding is nothing like a Remington. Those are like dragging a grand piano across a gravel road. Best investment I ever made. With the Schmidt & Bender scope, Spuhr scope mount, and factory Federal it’s a .400 MOA rifle. It will probably shoot tighter then that. My skills just aren’t that good.
I personally change the height of my cheekpiece on a minute-by-minute basis. As you go further out, and you find yourself having to dial more and more correction into the turret, the lenses within the scope move in relation to each other and you find that the exit pupil/eyebox comes out the ocular at a different angle, which necessitates a different cheekpiece height in order to achieve perfect parallax-free eye placement. For this reason I use a Magpul PRS stock where the height is adjustable via a thumbwheel with detents for reference. This probably isn't an issue if you are holding-off in the reticle rather than dialing.
@shane Agree to disagree... In all reality, the AI and Cheytac stuff all look pretty rad - I'm just emotionally attached to the AI system, having shot it for the better part of 10 years.
@@danielsingh303 You do the review. Cell phone video is fine as long as it's a minimum of 1080p. Mount the camera though. Can't have it moving all around. Get good lighting and good audio. 7-10 minutes long. Figure one, 10 second b-roll clip for every 30 seconds of video. Send me all that, and I'll edit together for you.
Greetings from England...really nice good looking Rifle and good review as usual, would be good to see more groups with it, some long range shootings...is this an Atlas Bipod with some sort of Arca Swiss adapter on it? I am just wondering if I can retrofit my atlas with an ARCA Swiss adapter, what is the brand and model? Thanks Rafael
Hey there, Thanks for watching! I would like to have spent a lot more time with this rifle. Unfortunately Cadex needed it back in short order. Check out Area419 for the Atlas arca adapter. www.area419.com/product/arcalock-clamp/
Swedish_Steel I don’t own one, so Bergara would have to send me one. I don’t really know anyone over there, so I wouldn’t hold my breath if I were you. lol. Thanks for watching.
Is that a clamp on muzzle brake. What do you think about clamp on muzzle brakes? Witt machine specifically. Really don't have the money to have my barrel threaded. Nor do I know a gun smith I trust to do it. But the witt seem s to look hood sense its built specifically to your barrel detentions.
I personally don't have a problem with clamp on's, as long as they don't disturb barrel harmonics. Problem is, the only way to know for sure it to buy one and test it out.
An awesome video. I have the same chassis that my remington 700 SPS tactical AAC in 308 with 20 inch heavy barrel sitting on it. Don't like the fact that my barrel is too short. Was wondering if i order the longer barrel 24 inch and sheepdog action from cadex with Remington 700 footprint, they will fit my chassis. basically if i can turn it into the CDX-R7 and still would be able to collapse the stock ? TIA
Honestly I used to not like them at all. I thought they caught on everything and were basically pointless. Now I love them. I like that no matter what surface I'm shooting on, they typically dig in and help me control the rifle.
Just purchased a R7 rifle on the nuke evo chassis, very excited. How would you compare the quality of the action to a “custom” one such as your Terminus? I read your previous comment about the Tikka being smoother which is understandable since the melt a stick of butter on those when they ship them out. Thanks!
that's a tough one... the terminus is smoother for sure, similar to the tikka. The durability is probably similar on both. I'm really not sure other than that. sorry I can't be more help.
I think Cadex tends to cater more towards the military and law enforcement community than towards the general public, so it makes sense that this would be more of a "tactical" rifle.
@@PrecisionRifleNetworkI’m on fence about whether to go with a MDT ACC elite or the Cadex defense for my PRS build. What’s your take on this matter since have some experience with both chassis?
The action was as smooth as any other custom action I’ve felt. I did not buy this rifle. They sent it to me for review. Very nice rifles in my opinion.
It's really similar actually. The Trigger Tech adjusts down to a lower weight though. 1.5lbs on the Cadex is the lowest I believe - Ryan might chime in and prove me wrong on that. The Trigger Tech goes down to 4oz or something insane like that. I run my comp trigger at 1lb. Honestly most people can't feel the difference between a 1lb and 2lb trigger. I don't think the heavier pull holds the Cadex back at all. Still shoots light out.
First stage is 8oz and second stage goes down to 1lbs, for a total weight of 1.5 lbs minimum. I also have a triggertech special set at 1 lbs… but I prefer the Cadex because of the 2 stages… shoe is also adjustable in ''LOP'' so you can set your 90 degree trigger finger.
The problem I have is that the combination of cadex chassis and triggertech make the trigger hard to be reached comfortably. From the back of the grip to the trigger, it’s about 1/2” longer than Surgeon CSR which use AI chassis. It doesn’t sound lot but feels really hard to reach the trigger. I also called triggertech to see if they will make some more curved trigger shoes. I was told that will be depended on the market requests and they have received a few calls about this issue all related to Cadex chassis.
sniper weapons system..? ah huh...except its just their own goofy action with a bartlein barrel thrown in a 700 cadex chassis.....not saying its a bad setup but you could build something better for the same amount. EDIT 18:37 O_o.....
