The Cadex CDX-33 Patriot Lite delivers true sub-MOA extreme-range performance in a chassis rifle purpose-built for operators and serious long-range civilian shooters. Manufactured in Canada by Cadex Defence — a name proven on NATO sniper programs — the Patriot Lite combines a precision-machined aluminum chassis, a fully adjustable folding stock, and a match-grade stainless barrel tuned for the .338 Lapua Magnum class of cartridges.
Key features include the Cadex DX2 double-stage match trigger, MX1 muzzle brake, 60-degree bolt throw for rapid follow-ups, and an ergonomic AR-pattern pistol grip. The full-length M-LOK forend gives you unlimited optic, night-vision, and accessory real estate, while the ambidextrous controls make transitions clean under a timer or under pressure.
This isn't a hunting rifle dressed up as tactical — it's the rifle Cadex built because mission profiles demand one-shot, one-kill capability at distances where lesser systems stop printing groups. Every contact point is engineered for repeatability: the V-block bedding, the detachable AICS-pattern magazines, the torque-spec barrel interface. Nothing is left to chance.
If you want a precision rifle system that shoots as hard as it looks, the CDX-33 Patriot Lite is the real deal. Order yours today and step into the top tier of long-range precision.
THIS IS A SERIALIZED FIREARM. It must ship to a Federal Firearms License holder. No civilian exceptions.
Buying and shipping through Charlie’s is easy, but there is some information you need to know. Only a federally licensed firearms dealer may receive a firearm or federally regulated serialized item (like a receiver or suppressor). We cannot ship these items directly to you. Please follow these steps to process your transaction:
1) Check your state laws to make sure the federally regulated item you want to purchase is legal in your state. Your FFL dealer should be able to give you all of the necessary information regarding your state specific laws. But, if we ship to your FFL, and there is a legal issue, we cannot accept a return. So please make sure that you know and follow your local and state laws.
2) A quick google search will show you what Federal Firearms Licensed (FFL) dealers are in your area. When you are ready to purchase, contact the FFL dealer you would like to use and get their shipping address. During the check-out, put YOUR address in the “billing” section and the FFL DEALER’S address in the “shipping” section. If you don’t know your FFLs address, that’s okay. You can send the information later.
3) After check out, make sure to contact your FFL dealer to ensure they will receive your shipment for you (most do this for a small fee, but you should always double check).
4) Have your dealer send us a copy of their FFL to FFL@CharliesCustomClones.com. Charlie’s does not reach to your FFL (MAKE THEM EARN THEIR FEE!!!)
5) Be patient! In order to ensure we remain compliant with all federal laws, our compliance department is kept separate from our sales and operations team. Please allow a few days for our compliance officer to verify all of your dealer’s documents and ensure all federal laws are being observed. You should hear from our compliance department within 3-4 business days. If not, feel free to reach out for a status update.
That’s it! We try to make this process as simple as possible for our customers, but if you are unfamiliar the process or have any other questions, please visit our How to Buy a Firearm page for more details.
California and New York residents please, click here. The process may be different due to state specific laws.
NOTE: The free shipping option does not apply to full rifles, unless purchased with a riflescope. If you choose free shipping at check-out, we will bill you for shipping later.
