TFB Review: The Spuhr SICS (Spuhr Ideal Chassis System)

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.

Precision Rifle Series: Gas Gun vs Bolt Action – Which is better?

New Zero Compromise ZCO840 8-40x56mm Riflescope

Zero Compromise Optic (ZCO) is a fairly young company with one leg in Austria and the other in the USA. The company was founded in 2018 by well-known people in the optics and mechanics industry.
