Cadex verses MDT tac 21 .

No, mine is as close to straight back as I've ever seen. Although my trigger control puts the rear of my hand a little off the grip. I do that on all my rifles. To get optimal touch, I do this. But that trigger movement is straight back with the angle that I use.

Ah, you're not wrapping your thumb, or you're doing the "c" pinch method ?
 
Uh, looks like a bull pup. The srs is a bull pup. The fact that this conversation is happening is odd...
Why is it odd, I'm just googling other chassis. I thought a bull pup was a tavor type rifle, this one didn't look like a bull pup.
Maybe I got the wrong idea of a bull pup rifle?
 
Oh ####, I totally didn't even notice the mag position. Sorry. I looked at that rifle at least 10 times and never even noticed that mag position.
 
I guess I should of said , this rifle is not going to be for any long range precision competition. I'm just looking to build a accurate Target/hunting rifle that's around 9 lbs and has a tactical chassis such as the Cadex or MTD. I see no point in a 1+ MOA rifle. I'm only punching paper and I like doing load devopment. I don't see me going past 500 yards so my goal is to put 5 in a 3 inch circle. I'd be pleased with that. I like the look of the MTD tac 30 but I've no interest of gluing anything in . I think from my research the Cadex is the better option , for me:).

Never ever glue anything into the TAC21! I am not sure where that is coming from, but it is a very bad idea.
 
And in regards to the tac 21, every smith I know will not accuracy test a rifle in one. They'll use a different chassis, or stipulate a full glue in before testing.
It's not rocket science, the scope isn't attached to the action. The action is attached to the scope through the chassis via the action screws in essence.
The action certainly shifts in the chassis to an extent, the recoil lug wouldn't work properly otherwise.
We can assure you that there are many gunsmiths that do use our TAC21 to accuracy test. We have proven over and over that accuracy is gained using the TAC21.
The action cannot move inside of the chassis. The action is pulled tight into the V-Block bedding. And The recoil lug stops the action from moving backwards in the chassis.

In addition, we understand that many people that when the scope rail is not attached directly to the action, that it means there is more movement. However this is not the case. Once the action is installed, the action itself and the housing almost become like one piece. Rather than the scope base being held by 4 screws, it is now one solid piece.

And it is hard to argue with arguing group sizes that are cut in half :)
 
With the tac you also have to remove your trigger to install the action inside, then reinstall inside the upper part of the chassis. Seems like a major pain in you know what.
If having the spend 30 minutes to remove and re-install the trigger is a pain; and therefore prevents you from ordering it.... we are lost for words.
 
Those are not exactly easy to achieve goals.
There's rather a large difference between a rifle that put 5 into 3" at 500 yards once or twice in a range session, and one that does it every time, and with a consistent cold bore shot.
A good part of that consistency stems from how the rifle fits you, and your comfort behind it.
You'll never know what you're missing until you try it.
But I digress, you can lead a horse to water...

I am struggling with this statement, what do you mean the action shifts...the recoil lug wouldn't work properly otherwise. I am trying to understand this statement, not trying to start an argument.
 
I'm sure they both have their good qualities. But why is the Tac 21 listed for $799 and the Cadex field core listed for $739. They both come with the same options. I thought the tac was usually cheaper. The Cadex I had was excellent, but it's the online design of the Tac 21 that draws me. But I've seen no negative reviews of the Cadex , but have seen a few of the MDT tac 21.

There are not many people in the commercial market that have a Cadex chassis. We have produced thousands upon thousands of chassis. You get enough out there, no matter how good, there will always people that see something negative.
Keep in mind as well that the TAC21 has seen many upgrades over the years. A negative comment could be about something that has already been fixed.

CADEX also manufactures their own rifles and also makes the chassis for other manufacturers like PGW.
 
Either PGW has not removed from their site yet, or they are selling out any remaining inventory. I think the fact that Cadex is selling their own rifles explains what is going on.

Thank you for the further extrapolation on your statement. So is the LRT-3 being updated, discontinued or replaced? Just curious if you've heard. And yes, I figured that CADEX producing their own rifles might change relations with companies they supply as it turns them into competitors. Makes sense and you appear to have confirmed this to be the case.
 
We really do not know, and sorry when we are vague. We always have to be careful to not post anything that should not be public information.
