Cadex rifles in 375 caliber are a real treasure for Ukrainian snipers!

In 2022, we began to support snipers fighting with Cadex rifles in 375 caliber. In case of damage, new sights were provided. If snipers bought Cadex 375-caliber rifles from hands, but did not have money for scopes, we provided scopes. Over time, this activity was joined by the supply of cartridges or components for cartridges, bipods, silencers. Cadexes were extremely effective, especially in the South where there were long distances. The record hit from Cadex was made by an extremely talented SOF (Special Operation Forces) sniper at a distance of 3 km. The most significant target was an enemy colonel, neutralized across the river at a distance of 2,800 m.

In January 2023, we first ordered rifles in .375 caliber, and they were Cadex rifles. 4 Cadex rifles arrived, 10 twist, 29 inches. We fired these rifles with Hornady A-TIP Match 390 gr cartridges and were very pleased with the results. We also purchased some used Cadex rifles and put 29 inch 7 twist barrels on them. They shot very well with the Cutting Edge Bullets Lazer MAX SF GEN 2 400 gr.

In 2023 and 2024, we constantly bought all Cadex rifles in 375 caliber that we could get in Ukraine and Europe. We are most pleased with the 32 inch barrel length Cadex rifles. They show excellent results: with a 10-twist Hornady A-TIP Match 390 gr bullet, with a 7-twist Cutting Edge Bullets Lazer MAX SF GEN 2 400 gr bullet. Such rifles also differ in that they have practically no recoil.

We also shoot the Cutting Edge Bullets Lazer MAX SF GEN 2 400gr in Cadex rifles with custom 7 twist barrels in 34" and 36" barrel lengths.

Among the shortcomings of Cadex rifles, which we bought new, we note the following. The bed is assembled from a large number of parts that are not very securely connected. Bolts are often too small and screwed to a shallow depth. Rifles are also brought assembled in a hurry. For a lot of money, you can think of a version of the bed made of a solid piece of metal and more elaborate. It would be possible to make the upper bars in such a way that they do not twist during frontal operation and it is not necessary to make new bars at the factories. It is especially bad when the Cadex bed is used for McMillan 50 bmg rifles, it is possible to use such a model normally in combat conditions only after long refinements.

The first advantage of Cadex rifles is the excellent barrels. Cadex rifles show excellent long-range accuracy when firing the Hornady A-TIP Match 390 gr bullet from 400 shots to 4000. When shooting the Cutting Edge Bullets Lazer MAX SF GEN 2 400 gr bullet, the barrel has a lower resource for high-precision shooting at long distances.

Cadex rifles also have an excellent bolt group. The shutters on our Cadex rifles practically did not break, unlike the rifles of all other models in the 375 caliber. For all snipers, it is impossible to see exactly which cartridge they will want to test on the range or in combat conditions. And these experiments on all rifles ended sadly, only the Cadex has a safety margin.

In general, Cadex rifles are the best choice for a sniper who wants to fight with a 375 caliber. I would like an innovative stock with fewer parts, maybe in the era of artificial intelligence you can come up with something simple and futuristic, with this the rifle would be more reliable. Maybe experiment with long 32 inch 7 twist barrels and plain stocks like the Victrix Trone rifle! In general, we are sure that Cadex rifles in 375 caliber are the future!

Сadex rifles in 408 caliber, which are used by our Special Forces, also show themselves well in battle.

Cadex rifles in 50 bmg caliber would be much better if they had thicker barrels that would ensure greater accuracy. Of course, a simpler bed for a thick barrel would also make the rifle better. Because Cadex in 50 bmg is beautiful, but effective at too small distances for effective combat use.

It would be great to comprehensively develop the line of Cadex rifles in 375 caliber, because in the age of drones, only long-range sniper rifles of this class provide a sniper with a chance for survival and effective work. Rifles in 308, 338, 408 and 50 calibers are becoming too risky, because they do not provide the necessary distance of more than 2000 meters, which now allows a sniper to survive in conditions of intense conflict with approximate parity on the battlefield. Snipers can use 308, 338, 408 and 50 caliber rifles from time to time under favorable conditions, in about 25% of real situations on the front, 375 caliber rifles can be used more often, in about 60% of situations.

Developments of rifles that could shoot accurately at record long distances are becoming promising. Every additional 500 meters between the sniper and his target increases the sniper's chances of survival by 10 times. Already today in Ukraine, 375-caliber rifles are becoming the main tool of sniper combat, displacing 338-caliber.

We thank God that Cadex rifles exist.

We are grateful to Canada that our SOF fighters have Cadex rifles delivered from Canada.

We are grateful to the Cadex company that there were long months when Cadex rifles were the only option we could buy in 375 caliber, while other manufacturers were still considering whether to allow the use of their own new rifles in Ukraine at the front.

Cadex is our love!
And we believe not only in the present of Cadex, but also in their development both tomorrow and the day after tomorrow!
