I’ve been building this rifle for the last year and a half, it’s quite unique and the first stock I built.

The rifle is chambered in 505 Gibbs, 24” Pac-Nor barrel SS blank machined and fitted by PR Precision, new lower zero MOA rail and forward recoil lug by PR Precision, Cerakote in sniper grey by EM Precision.

The Cadex magazine is for 7 rounds of 375 Cheytac, so I cut it down and modified it to fit 4 rounds of 505. Feeds very nicely.

Stock started as a Boyd’s laminate blank, I completed the inlet then shaped and fitted the stock, it’s based roughly off a Remington 700 stock. Have a Bushnell 1-6 scope on it that seems to be taking the recoil so far, undecided on the final scope.

Have ten rounds fired so far, forgot my chronograph so didn’t do any grouping but looks promising since it will hit 1.5” circles at 100yrds off bags.

I thought about irons but I rarely use them, I like 1x scopes. Right at 15# loaded, bi pod just for pictures.

Yes it is, Cadex CDX-40.
