#Spuhr

Spuhr of Sweden has released a new Picatinny mount, suitable for the Aimpoint Micro and CompM5 series of red dots. It’s called RD-20153, and on an AR-15/M4 style platform the mount offers absolute co-witness, with a height of 39 mm/1.535”. The mount is machined from billet 7075 T651 aluminum, which has then been hard coat anodized. The mount is pretty lightweight at 72g/2.5 oz. From the images, it seems to be a very sturdy mount - the optic and the mount look like one integral part.

There are many opportunities to watch new tips and tricks from top competitors from around the World at the IPSC Rifle World Shoots. Every now and then you see new things, also in terms of calibers and firearms designs. This article circles around an AR15 made in Sweden, by Spuhr. There are only two rifles built so far, and there is no plan (yet) to make any more.

This is a review of the Schmidt & Bender 3-20×50 PM II Ultra Short riflescope, as a part of my mission to review all of the PM II models. I am very fond of the Schmidt & Bender 5-20×50 PM II Ultra Short, which is a perfect fit if you want to make your quality AR platform perform better. I own one, and I kind of wanted (at least) one more. Enter the Schmidt & Bender 3-20×50 PM II Ultra Short, which attracted me with its larger magnification range.

Photo Of The Day – Photography is a powerful medium that allows individuals to freeze moments in time, capturing the essence of emotions, stories, and the beauty that surrounds us. Taking great photos is not merely about owning an expensive camera; it’s an art form that requires a blend of technical skill, creativity, and a keen eye for detail.

Twenty-five years ago the Czech Republic joined NATO, marking a significant milestone in its national journey. To celebrate this historic occasion, CZ has unveiled an exclusive, limited edition version of the CZ BREN 2 Ms semi-automatic rifle. This special model shares the exceptional design of the CZ BREN 2 select-fire rifle, well-known from the Czech Army’s arsenal.

Photo Of The Day and today we’re taking a look at the brand new Spuhr RDF-20225K Aimpoint T-2 Magnifier Mount in action. A little over a year ago, I reviewed the Aimpoint Duty RDS with 3X-C Magnifier – 39mm FlipMount & TwistMount base. The Spuhr mount is a little different, and offers a one-piece solution to mount a laser (or what other devices you may think of) and a magnifier around an Aimpoint Micro H2 or T2.

Photo Of The Day – To the horizon and beyond. Here we see a Portuguese Marine with one of their upgraded Heckler & Koch G3s. The Spuhr upgrades solve the most important issues with the G3, namely the Length of Pull (LOP). Furthermore, this firearm has the Spuhr buttstock, forend and top rail.

This is a review of the Sightmark Citadel 1-10×24 HDR. This is an affordable riflescope for short- to mid-range shooting and hunting. It comes either with a CR1 reticle (for close- to mid-range shooting and quick target acquisition) or an HDR reticle, great for close- to mid-range hunting. Both reticles are in the second focal plane.

Spuhr is always on the cutting edge with optics mounting and this new setup manufactured for a Dutch government contract is no exception. A brilliant, robust, but lightweight integration of the Aimpoint Micro, plus the Aimpoint magnifier in a QD/swing mount combo, plus a functional backup iron sight and extended, raised Picatinny rail for night vision sighting systems is clever and accessible, as it is also available for pre-order to the civilian market. Another solution from Spuhr that looks as good as it is functional.

A new dawn, new possibilities and another Photo Of The Day with a highly interesting take on the AR15. Here is the caption from Spuhr in Sweden about their prototype AR15 upper with Spuhr handguard:

Renowned for their attention to detail and quality, Spuhr has debuted their latest offering: The Spuhr RDF Red Dot Mount. This newly unveiled gadget was one of the highlights at SHOT 2024, grabbing the attention of enthusiasts and industry insiders alike for its unique features and functionality.

This is TFB’s review of the Spuhr SICS chassis (Spuhr Ideal Chassis System), or “6” for short. This high-end chassis was invented, designed and produced by Spuhr in Sweden. Having followed the project somewhat before its introduction, I know that the development progressed over a long period of time, and there were huge investments made to realize this project. Apart from the pistol grip, the cheek rest and the recoil pad, everything is machined from aircraft aluminum.

Welcome to our Photo Of The Day! Every day, we feature a photograph or two. I took these images for an upcoming review of the brand new Schmidt & Bender 6-36×56 PM II (yes, it’s finally here!), so consider them a teaser of some sort. I also took the opportunity to fit the InfiRay Outdoor Mate MAH50 front attachment, which adds thermal capability to (almost) any riflescope with an adapter. The mount is from Spuhr.

DMRs, or Designated Marksman Rifles, are so hot at the moment. As you can see, our Photo Of The Day reflects this, with some marketing images from Beretta Defense Technologies, as posted on their LinkedIn. The Beretta ARX200 DMR was shown at the World Defense Show in 2022.

TFB’s Photo Of The Day is on a mission to collect high-quality photos from the world of firearms, and what’s better than a few Heckler & Koch HK417 rifles at the sniper range? Above you see a Dutch Marine with Marine Squadron Carib, Netherlands Marine Corps while participating in the Exercise Caribbean Urban Warrior at a sniper range on Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, March  2023.
