brown dog Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 Just looking at the Cadex site. They market this innovation - not sure what to make of it. https://www.cadexdefence.com/products/commercial/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradders Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 Yeah, I wouldn't make anything of it. The bearings are most likely lubed with Snakeoil® Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejg223 Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 Maybe easier/cheaper to mill 4 precise spots than mill the whole inlet precise. Might have had problems bending actions when tightening action in chassis. edi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akeld Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 Can't see any advantage over machined V blocks, in fact this appears to be a cheaper version, can't see the need for the rollers to roll even Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Dogge Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 Can't see any advantage over machined V blocks, in fact this appears to be a cheaper version, can't see the need for the rollers to roll even Well isn't that an advantage in itself? I've no idea if this works, or is a good idea, but the current way stocks are made and mounted makes no sense to me. It takes no account of the dynamic nature of the action under the forces associated with firing, or even changes of temperature. Something like this which allows controlled movement of the action in the stock sounds like it might be worth investigating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've obviously missed the part where it says controlled movement of the action in the stock. All I read was stable platform to reduce barrel vibration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been and it works: https://www.google.co.nz/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&cad=rja&uact=8&sqi=2&ved=0ahUKEwjJ3Kz29OTPAhVLy2MKHfi8CakQFgghMAE&url=http%3A%2F%2Fbusseltonrifleclub.squarespace.com%2Fs%2FFLEXIBLOC-ILLUSTRATION-2.pdf&usg=AFQjCNFv9uOaFD1KUOEN5IzxAaddvc0MbQ&sig2=1BYLuIv9lVmgD6vST8yUlA&bvm=bv.135974163,d.cGc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gun Pimp Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 Yeh - the flexi-bedding works amzingly well - in my limited experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1066 Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 Personally I think the lack of inovation with centrfire rifles is a little disappointing. Because what we do now, and have been doing for the last forty years works fairly well, we don't seem to have moved on much. Someone who has just materialised from the 1960's and walked into a regular gunshop today really wouldn't be stunned by our progress with centre fire rifles - Yes, I know there are plenty of chassis system/modular designs about and gaining ground but nothing I would class as a radical game changer. Just compare that to how air rifles/pistols have changed over the same period - The recoilless sliding sledge system, the opposing piston design, electronic triggers, digital adjustable power setting etc. etc. I like the idea of the rubber bushed action, I hope it continues to evolve and develop.
