CDX-MC Kraken

The CDX-MC Kraken precision rifles are an amalgamation of all the features the precision marksman needs. A sub-MOA system built with attention to detail at every step. A V-shaped bedding system eliminated movement of the CNC and wire EDM action in the machined chassis. The free floating forend serves not only as a platform for mounting clip-on thermal or night vision on the full length top rail (multiple cants available), but also as a mirage control tube. The folding buttstock utilizes a glove-friendly, rattle-free mechanism and protects the bolt handle while shortening the weapon for transport or storage. In addition to folding, the stock is adjustable at multiple points without tools. The bottom metal is detachable allowing access to the underside of the action for tuning the trigger, cleaning, or swapping the magazine sleeve to take different magazines, all without losing the weapon's zero. As with the stock folding mechanism, the trigger guard and magazine release are oversized to make gloved operation easier. The finger grooved grip by Ergo bears the Cadex logo and is rubberized for a sure grip. A purpose-built action houses the 60 degree lift, three lug bolt with radial fluting, and a Sako style extractor. A heavy duty recoil lug will help hold things in place over the weapon's service life. Finishing off the action is Cadex's DX2 Evo trigger, convertible by the end user between single and double stage as well as adjustable from 1.5-2.5 pounds.

What truly makes a rifle shine above others is a superior barrel. The heart of every Cadex rifle is a single point-cut, match grade Bartlein barrel made using a Cadex designed 1.280" straight taper contour. Fluting is used to decrease weight, improve weapon balance, and provide more surface area for cooling. Mil-Spec 5R rifling at an optimized twist rate reduces bullet deformation and aides in easier cleaning than conventional rifling. Things are topped off with a threaded muzzle ready to accept a sound suppressor or the included Cadex muzzle brake.

The Kraken is set apart from other Cadex rifles by its patented barrel change system. With possibly the lowest POI shift on the market, the Cadex Kraken maintains traditional thread in barrel design using a unique system to torque the barrel from the breech end. The system can be changed from short to long action and caliber conversions can be accomplished in minutes. The Kraken is a tool for the mission driven end user.

Note:  This is the custom order product page for the Cadex Kraken rifle at Charlie's.  Depending upon your selection, ask a Charlie's team member about full-pay and deposit options.  This rifle will be built just for you, to your specifications.  Custom rifles take skill, time and precision.  Something Cadex is very good at, but will take patience for you to order what you want.  Charlie's also carries a limited selection of Kraken rifles in-stock.  Ask our sales team if getting something sooner is of interest to you.
