MDT HS3 vs Cadex Field OT

Same as the accustock, 3/4 inch at 100 with super expensive 168gr ammo ... lol... and best groups at 200 was 1 5/8.

I got the NXS 8-32-56 LRMOA

Hoping for 1/2 MOA out of the Cadex ... I love to dream big... hahahahaha
 
That's good shootin'
My best with the HS3 is 155 gr cannulured over 44gr of Varget shooting 1MOA at 100m. Mine didn't like 168 or 178 gr bullets.
I'm using a SII 6.5-20x50. Your Nightforce has perfect mags for LR shooting. 1/2 MOA is definitely within the capabilities of your rifle. With the weight of the gun and scope, the .308 should feel like a .22! Post pics when you get it! You better plan on getting the same tax return next year as I can see this hobby is just gonna get more expensive!
 
Was at the gun show today and was fortunate enough to handle a cadex lite strike and it was a thing of beauty....i know not exactly what th op was wanting into on but everything about this thing was awesome...had a savage heavy barrelled .308 dropped in it with scope and was still reasonable to shoulder (not that you are going to shoot this type of gun from a standing position often but it's good to know it's possible...) and handled really nice...would love to get one I inletted for my frankensteind sako .338 lapua. Felt really nice but did find that the adjustable stock and the folding stock were all pretty tight/a little stiff to but I'd imagine that would all get worked in after a bit of time
 
All this talk about Cadex is getting me feeling frisky for mine. Can't wait, hopefully should have it in about 3 weeks. I got the Field Strike
 
Ha...i want one, the price tag is pretty steep but, it's a wicked product and its Canadian made...would be cool to see a maple leaf machined on it somewhere similar to what PGW does on theirs
 
I'm used to shooting more 'traditional' stocks, like a McM A5. Still, I was set on a Cadex. Very glad I got the opportunity to handle one one before I pulled the trigger...(see what I did there?). I chose to go a different route because I don't think I can get used to an AR style pistol grip on a precision rifle, I've developed my grip and trigger pull to a point where it just doesn't feel right. Plus I don't like how the mounting plate for the buffer tube sticks into the crook of my hand. And the Cadex (or any other chassis with this type of grip) doesn't really allow for any other grip technique. That being said, I really think Cadex and their roller bedding block is the best set up on the market today, so I was kind of disappointed about the grip. It's a minor issue and a personal one at that. If that's what you're used too, I don't think anyone would regret spending the coin for the Cadex. It's a great value and a beautiful piece of craftsmanship.

Just my 2 cents...or...is it worth 0 now cuz we round down...? You know what I mean.

Only issue I had was I tried a couple different scope rails but they both wouldn't fit with the stock. They were a bit too long and would hit the handguard. Finally got the dremel out and cut 1/4"-1/2" off the rail (no way was I cutting the stock!). I imagine there is a rail that fits but I just wanted to use what I had.

You could've contacted me and I would've sold you a Cadex top rail. Basically your chassis would've become a Field Strike chassis :)

PS The only drawback to the HS3 with the Rem 700 short action is you have to remove the butt stock everytime you want to remove the bolt. The bolt hits the cheek riser of the MDT stock.

I dont think this is the case if you use the Magpul PRS. Plus they do warn about this on their website.

From the site:

"Important note: This buttstock was developed for our TAC21 chassis. It will also work with our LSS chassis using the fixed stock adapter.
It is not a good solution for our HS3 or LSS-XL chassis as the cheek riser will be in the way when pulling the bolt back, or when removing the bolt."

Ha yes that would have been a good idea! It was a real nice cut though, not a hack job. I can just fit a piece if paper between the rail and the hand guard. I wanted the OT to make it a simple drop in from the old rifle without having to remove the scope. Unfortunately my rail was too long any my rings were too low. My fault for taking a chance without doing all my research. Worked out for the better in the end though! Love the stock!

You are correct Southpaw. I knew it before I bought it as it was demo'ed to me. I didn't like the Magpul stock as much. The MDT stock just fit me soooo nicely! I've already added the correct allen key to my cleaning kit!

If you added the folding stock adapter, would the length of pull be incorrect for you?
 
My chassis ( Field OT ) has arrived and review will be written over the next week. Only issue with assembly was that ( just like member 123decay above ) I had to cut a piece off my rail to make it all fit together. Obviously I enjoy all my review writing but I'm especially looking forward to the field testing of this product.

Folding stock adaptor?? No one told me about a folding stock adaptor!! That would be perfect! Is there one for the HS3 chassis?
Right now, I've got the butt stock cranked out about 1.5cm. I'm sure the folding stock would negate that from the folding mechanism. Have to call MDT!
 
you can order from there web cite they are a sponsor on CGN. You should call them and have a chat whit there guys, they will tell you straight anwser.

I had emailed MDT about the hs3 and there stock, they never told me the issue whit there skeleton stock and the bolt. That was the turning point that made me chose cadex.
