The Cadex CDX-40 SHDW series are high-end extreme long-range (ELR) precision rifles built on a robust chassis with modular features and match-grade components. The Single Shot variant is a single-feed configuration intended specifically for ELR competition and specialized precision shooting.
Calibre: .375 CT (CheyTac) — a long-range cartridge developed for ELR performance (official CIP designation) with excellent ballistic efficiency and retained energy at extreme distances.
Action Type: Bolt-action single-shot platform (no detachable magazine) optimized for the largest long-range cartridges in the CDX-40 family.
Barrel Length: 36″ match-grade Bartlein barrel — ideal for maximizing muzzle velocity and stability with large ELR projectiles.
Twist Rate: Commonly 1:7″ twist when chambered for .375 CT on the 36″ variant, to stabilize heavy long-range bullets.
Rifling: Premium 5R profile (match-grade) for improved accuracy.
Finish/Colour: Grey non-reflective (typically Cerakote or other tactical finish).
Single Shot Platform: Built without a detachable magazine — often chosen for competition or ELR shooters who want the ultimate precision platform without the constraints of mag-fed feed systems.
Top Rail: Full-length Picatinny/continuous rail with potential options for 20 MOA, 40 MOA or 60 MOA tilt to support high-magnification optics and extreme elevation adjustments.
Chassis & Stock: ELR-oriented chassis with ergonomic features, mirage mitigation tube, and accessory mounting; foldable stock variants are possible depending on configuration.
Barrel Threading: Usually threaded at the muzzle with an MX1 pitch to permit muzzle brakes, suppressors or other devices.
Extreme Long-Range (ELR) Shooting: The .375 CT round and long 36″ barrel make this rifle suitable for engagements well beyond 1,500 m, commonly used in ELR competitions and specialized precision contexts.
Precision Competitions: Single-shot format eliminates magazine feed variables, helping refine accuracy for competitive shooters.
Custom Configuration: The CDX-40 SHDW platform supports interchangeable barrel and rail configurations, making it adaptable to shooter preference and mission profile.
