I have not owned a Cadex but have shot one...very nice rifle. I have owned PGW Coyote/Timberwolf in both the A5 and Chassis configurations.
To your concern on the 1:10 twist in the Coyote...mine shot everything from the 168-190 range all very well. My go to load was a 178 A-Max that would put them on top of one another at short range....no special COL either, just standard 2.800”. Not a fussy rifle at all.....actually custom builds considered, my next big purchase will be another Coyote.

Reviving this thread.
Anyone have both the PGW Coyote and the Cadex Guardian for a comparison?
I'm eventually considering a 308 Coyote with their folding chassis. The only thing I don't like about the Coyote in 308 is the 1:10 twist rate. I prefer 1:11.25. My match ammo is in the 167 to 178 range. With my go to round being a 175 SMK. I have no intentions of shooting 180-220.
With regards to chassis vs mcmillan stock. I don't have a PGW to compare. However I do have a few rifles in both Chassis and Mcmillian stocks. I am a fan of the Mcmilian. It's a fantastic stock. But... while the Chassis system doesn't give the owner as much of a warm fuzzy feeling, it is more efficient. The folding option for travel, cleaning and bore sighting is nice. It's a giant aluminum bedding block. No change at all due to temperatures etc. Easy to add anything to it, including ARCA rails for tripods, bipods etc. It's more modular. Technically it is superior. However you can end up adding more weight very easily along with it just not being as comfortable in many cases. It's hard aluminum vs fibre glass. On a purely technical and convenience aspect, chassis for me.
