Cadex OT Core build

[bearcatrp]

Sold the Creedmoor so put it on the 10T 308 (01-05-17).
My chassis came in today. Just some pics of the separate pieces, then will post the final results when I am done. I will say this chassis is very well made. I think the $650 bucks spent on it was worth it. Will see once its together. Cadex packaged this up very well. Not some cheap box.

This is the rifle its going on but trying to decide though. Have this savage 10T in 308 for about a year. Just picked up a 10T in 6.5CM, which are identical except the caliber. Will have to think about it.

i say put the creed in that chassis.

[bearcatrp]

Been leaning that way.

[GaCop]

i say put the creed in that chassis. +1 for the Creed! :thumb:

[bearcatrp]

Plan was to use my PRS stock for the 308 to help with recoil a bit. Will have to use it with the creedmoor until I find a lighter one. Overkill but usable.

[bearcatrp]

Put it together just to see how it looks. Had to remove the rail to trim it. Here is a quick pick so far. Will be changing out the PRS stock down the road. Now to take it apart to locktight and torque to specs.

Looks good.

[Robinhood]

What is your length of pull?

[MI223]

Looks great! Why are you going to change out the prs?

[bearcatrp]

What is your length of pull?

Think the lowest is 2.5 lbs. But I tried the lowest setting on the 308 and the trigger safety would kick in most of the time. Turned it back out to around 3 lbs which works for me for now.

[bearcatrp]

Looks great! Why are you going to change out the prs?

Looks over size. Looks like the bottom of an ore. Haven't shot it yet so may change my mind. Was originally going on the 308 to help with recoil but decided to put everything on the creedmoor. Have to trim my rail, get a scope and bipod installed then will be ready for a range trip.

I couldn't agree more ;)

The more I look at that chassis the more I think I could have saved up a little more. But then I could have saved up a little more for the next tier.... and the snowball keeps rolling.

Eagerly awaiting the final build pics!

[bearcatrp]

The one I was really looking at (can't remember it now) was $2000. Not a good idea to put a 600 dollar rifle in a $2000 dollar chassis system. Unless you have money to burn. I think there will be more push into chassis systems since RPR came out and the chase began. Savage will answer shortly with the stealth and ashberry. Still waiting on Remington to show something. Nice thing about doing it yourself is you know everything, instead of buying a complete rifle system. I looked at GAP once. My wallet cried. Out of my reach. Think its better to build as you go.

[bearcatrp]

Got everything lock tight and torqued. Have to trim the rail then mount scope. Once the scope is mounted, will post pics. Had to order ammo online, Hornady 140 gr match. No one has in locally and some places tell me someone comes in and takes every 6.5 box of ammo on the shelves. Starting to look like the 22lr shortage. Found 1 place online who I do business with had some sor ordered 4 boxes. Most other places were back ordered.

Got the rail trimmed and mounted so just a matter of robbing the 308 and put the scope on it. SWFA SS 20X for now until I can afford something else. That scope was originally on a 50BMG I used to own. Bad weather this week but hope to be at the range friday. Will post some pics soon after I mount the scope.

[bearcatrp]

Well, here it is. Put the scope on it a bit ago. Now to get out to the range to see how it shoots. Definitely have to change out the PRS stock. A bit to long.

One heluva but pad.

The PRS was on my 50BMG. Worked like a charm. Am on the hunt for a better stock. This chassis was going on my 10T 308 until I picked up the creedmoor.
Am looking at the XLR stock. Opinions? https://xlrindustries.com/collections/buttstocks/products/extreme-butt-stock

[Smiling Dave]

That is a great looking rig. Looking forward to your thoughts after a bit of range time.
