Here to learn more about the Cadex Defense .50 BMG platform (the CDX-50)? Here’s pretty much everything you need to know:
- It’s a military-spec ELR platform, chambered in either .50 BMG or .416 Barrett.
- It sports a lightweight-design bolt action.
- The V-shaped bedding of the system provides maximum support and stability.
- The stock is tool-free adjustable for comb height and length of pull. It also comes with a neoprene cheek pad.
- The stock folds to the side, which makes the platform more compact for carry or transport. In the folded configuration, the stock also covers and protects the bolt and action.
- A full-length dual-top rail supports a wide variety of optics, including oversized ELR optics. It is available in either 20, 40 and 50 MOA.
- The forend is heavily overbuilt and supports mounting positions at 3, 6 and 9 o’clock.
- The base is detachable, allowing access to the trigger without incurring a loss of zero.
- It is a stable platform that is muzzle brake or suppressor-ready, helping to manage recoil with these large cartridges.
- In the .50 BMG variant, the rifle sports a 1:15, 8-groove barrel. Weight varies between 22.7 and 24.7 pounds.
- In the .416 Barrett variant, the rifle sports a 1:9, 5R rifled barrel, which is easier to clean and which resists fouling accumulation. Weight varies between 24.7 and 30.5 pounds.
- Multiple different barrel lengths are available in both the .50 BMG and .416 Barrett configurations.
- The chassis of this Cadex Defense .50 BMG rifle platform is CNC-machined from aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminum billets that are light, strong, corrosion-resistant, and easy to maintain.
- The chassis is treated with a non-reflective Cerakote that further boosts corrosion resistance and minimizes maintenance.
- The rifle is muzzle brake-ready and comes with a mirage control tube to minimize visual distortions and artifacts when long-range shooting.
- It offers optional compatibility with a monopod or a bag rider.
- This rifle platform is also available in a single shot configuration, the CDX-50SS. By removing the magazine from the design, the rigidity and thereby the stability of the rifle is increased, potentially boosting accuracy and consistency.
- It sports an oversized trigger guard and mag release, enabling easier use with heavy gloves in inclement weather.
- The rifle’s grip also sports ergonomic finger grooves for more comfortable, fatigue-free shooting.
