The Cadex CDX-R7 XS SA is the short action version of Cadex's folding precision rifle. It's offered in 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5 PRC or .308 Winchester with a 26-inch Bartlein barrel.
Cadex Defence builds precision rifles in Canada, and the CDX-R7 XS series is its folding precision rifle line. Every XS uses a four-lug bolt with a 50-degree throw, a Bartlein barrel and Cadex's PRO tool-free adjustable stock, set in a chassis machined from 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum.
Cadex builds the XS in short action and long action versions. This is the short action rifle, which Cadex chambers in 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5 PRC and .308 Winchester. Those are popular choices for precision matches and long-range practice, and the ammunition is easy to find.
Every short action rifle has a 26-inch Bartlein barrel threaded 5/8-24 for a brake or suppressor. The twist is 1 in 8 inches for the two 6.5mm cartridges and 1 in 10 for .308 Winchester.
The short action rifle weighs about 13.7 pounds, with an overall length of about 45.5 inches, or 36.5 inches folded. It feeds from Cadex DSSF magazines, which hold ten rounds in 6.5 Creedmoor and .308 Winchester and seven in 6.5 PRC. One magazine matched to the caliber comes with the rifle.
The stock adjusts for length of pull, cheek piece height and recoil pad height, with a neoprene cheek pad, and it folds for transport. You get a finger-grooved rubberized Cadex grip, an oversized trigger guard for gloved hands and a 20 MOA top rail. The finish is Cerakote, offered in more than 16 colors.
If you shoot precision matches or want a folding rifle in the most common long-range cartridges, the XS SA is a well-made tool from a company that focuses on this kind of rifle.
