Cadex Inc CDX-30 Lite 6.5mm Creedmoor 24″ 10+1

About this product

The Cadex Inc CDX-30 Lite 6.5mm Creedmoor 24″ 10+1 is a precision bolt-action rifle engineered for long-range accuracy with field-portable ergonomics. It combines a Bartlein match-grade barrel with Cadex's proprietary Lite Strike chassis system, resulting in a platform that balances competition-grade precision with practical transport considerations. This rifle represents the current evolution of precision rifle design where weight reduction meets consistent mechanical accuracy.

What is the Cadex CDX-30 Lite used for?

The CDX-30 Lite is designed for precision long-range shooting disciplines including PRS competition, tactical training, and hunting applications where shots exceed 800 yards. Its 6.5mm Creedmoor chambering provides excellent ballistic coefficient performance with manageable recoil, while the 24-inch fluted barrel maintains velocity without excessive weight. The folding stock and 14.1-pound total weight make it surprisingly transportable for a rifle capable of sub-MOA accuracy.

How does the CDX-30 Lite compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?

The CDX-30 Lite delivers significantly better accuracy and features than the Stevens 334 Rifle but at nearly seven times the price. Where the Stevens 334 typically achieves 1.5-2 MOA accuracy with factory ammunition, the CDX-30 Lite consistently produces 0.5-0.75 MOA groups with quality handloads. The Cadex's adjustable chassis, match trigger, and suppressor-ready threaded barrel make it superior for serious precision work, while the Stevens serves adequately for entry-level hunting.

What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?

The rifle weighs 14.1 pounds (6.4 kg) and measures 35.4 inches (90 cm) long with stock folded or 43.9 inches (111.5 cm) extended. The 24-inch barrel features a 1:8 twist rate and comes threaded 5/8x24 TPI for direct suppressor attachment. The overall package balances weight distribution with a 2.5-inch width at the widest point of the chassis, making it compatible with most standard rifle cases.

Who is this NOT for?

This rifle is not suitable for beginners or budget-conscious shooters who won't utilize its precision capabilities. The $6687.95 price point places it firmly in professional and serious amateur territory, and the 14.1-pound weight makes it impractical for mountain hunting or extended carry scenarios. If you need a general-purpose hunting rifle, consider the Stevens 334 in .243 Win at one-tenth the cost.

What's in the box?

The rifle ships with one 10-round AICS pattern magazine, MX1 muzzle brake installed, and allen keys for stock adjustments. Cadex includes their standard 30mm scope mounting rings, a detailed owner's manual with torque specifications, and a custom hard case rated for airline transport. The package does not include bipod, scope, or hearing protection—essential accessories you'll need to budget separately.

Is the CDX-30 Lite worth it at $6687.95?

At $6687.95, the CDX-30 Lite justifies its cost for shooters who require competition-grade accuracy and are willing to pay for premium materials and machining. The Bartlein barrel alone represents approximately $800 value, while the fully adjustable chassis system would cost over $2000 if purchased separately. For PRS competitors or long-range hunters who need reliable sub-MOA performance, this rifle delivers professional-grade results that cheaper alternatives cannot match.
