Cadex CDX-30 TAC

About the Cadex CDX-30 TAC

The Cadex CDX-30 TAC is a bolt-action precision sniper rifle produced by Cadex Defence of Quebec, Canada, positioned as a cost-efficient tactical rifle for law enforcement and civilian long-range shooters. Built around the CDX-30 action with a 60-degree lift, three-lug bolt featuring radial fluting and a Sako-style extractor, it is chambered in .308 Winchester, 6mm Creedmoor, 6.5 Creedmoor, or 6.5 PRC. The rifle uses a match-grade Bartlein single-point-cut barrel with 5R Mil-Spec rifling in a Cadex 1.300-inch straight-taper fluted profile, threaded 5/8x24 to accept the included MX1 muzzle brake or a sound suppressor. The aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminum chassis integrates a V-shaped bedding system that eliminates movement between the action and chassis without traditional bedding, and carries a 20-MOA full-length top rail for maximum optic elevation. A tool-free adjustable stock provides length-of-pull, cheek-piece, and recoil-pad adjustment, and the rifle feeds from 10-round AICS-pattern detachable magazines (7 rounds in 6.5 PRC). The DX2 Evo trigger is selectable between single and double stage with a pull weight adjustable from 1.5 to 2.5 pounds.

The CDX-30 TAC anchors the accessible end of Cadex Defence's precision rifle family, bringing the Canadian maker's chassis engineering and Bartlein-barreled accuracy to police marksman units and competitive shooters who cannot justify the cost of the flagship Kraken or CR series. Its .308 Winchester chambering keeps it grounded as a versatile, ammunition-friendly tactical platform.
