About the Cadex CDX-30 LITE

The Cadex CDX-30 LITE (Guardian Lite) is a Canadian bolt-action precision sniper rifle built on Cadex Defence's CDX-30 Guardian short action. The action is CNC and wire-EDM machined from 416 stainless steel with a three-lug, radially fluted bolt and a fast 60-degree bolt throw. It rides in a lightweight monolithic 6061-T6 aluminum Strike chassis with a reverse-folding, tool-free adjustable buttstock, and feeds from AICS-pattern detachable box magazines. Chambered in .308 Winchester and other short-action cartridges, it pairs a match-grade Bartlein barrel with a Cadex muzzle brake for long-range tactical and competition shooting.

Cadex Defence of Quebec, Canada earned its reputation supplying precision rifles and accessories to military and special-forces units, and the CDX-30 platform underpins several of its combat-proven long-range systems.
