Spuhr Ideal Chassis System - SICS

https://www.spuhr.biz/sics

Sweden (September 6, 2021) – Spuhr i Dalby AB (Spuhr®) is introducing the Spuhr Ideal Chassis System (SICS) to the North American market.

Mr. Ulf Nilsson, CEO, says, “This is a project we’re extremely proud of. The Spuhr Ideal Chassis system, or ‘6’ for short, has been the company’s main focus for the past 18 months. The SICSTM was designed around the concepts of modularity, stability, innovation, and quality.”

Integrating the Spuhr InterfaceTM into a chassis system allows the user to position accessories originally designed for the Spuhr Ideal Scope Mount SystemTM (ISMSTM) at various positions on the rifle system, combined with an exchangeable handguard and bag rider, provides unsurpassed modularity.

Machined from aircraft aluminum, with the sole synthetic parts being the rubberized pistol grip, cheek piece, and a Limbsaver® Airtech® recoil pad, the SICSTM offers an extremely rigid shooting platform.

An innovative, and patented, quick-adjustable Length of Pull (LOP) allows the user to instantly adjust the LOP when shifting from one shooting position to another. The SICSTM also features LOP Presets so that the user can tailor his maximum and minimum Length of Pull. Integrated into the standard 16-inch forend is an Arca Swiss® rail for use with bipods and tripods, but even this part of the chassis still accepts Spuhr InterfaceTM accessories.

As always, quality has been a priority, where the SICSTM does not feature any sharp edges while featuring the same high quality black anodizing known from the Spuhr Hunting Series mounts and rings (other colors will be available.)

The first versions released will be for the Remington 700 and Tikka T3/T3x short action footprints, for use with AICS magazines. Pre-orders for the North American market will be accepted starting September 27th.

What's the pricing on these chassis?

Beautiful stuff. Looking at their scope mounts I imagine I will faint when I hear the price of the chassis.

SICS™ Feature 1 - The Forend

The SICS™ 16” standard forend features Spuhr Interfaces™ along the top, sides, and bottom, QD sling swivels, and an integrated ARCA Swiss® rail for use of various commonly available bipod and tripod solutions. The SICS™ can also be fitted with different length forends depending on user requirements.

The proprietary ARCA Rail Grabber allows the user to quickly adjust the grabber’s position along the full length of the SICS™ forend with a mere push of a button. Instant and secure.

With all SICS™ forends, a short Picatinny Gen2 rail is included so that a bipod or other 3rd party accessories can be attached to the chassis.

Finally, the Spuhr Interfaces™ along the forend also allow the use of other Spuhr ISMS™ scope mount accessories to be moved from the scope mount to the chassis, and vice versa.

Probably around 2500 tomatoes since it is advertise at pre-order for 1900.00 usd...

would this work for tikka .223

Looks great but let's face it, what is this bringing to the market that MDT and MPA do not at a higher price point.

ARCA Rail Grabber. SKU#: CA0001.

Locks into position and unlocks with a press of the side button.

SICS comes standard with a polymer pistol grip with rubber overmold.

The chassis accepts any AR15 pistol grip with the exception of grips that have a beaver tail which requires trimming/cutting to fit. Factory grip can be removed by removing the screw from inside the grip like any AR15.





And it's also adjustable fore and aft via 2 screws.

Optional weight kits are available in both exterior and interior mounting, 2-pack and 5-pack.

Exterior weights are secured via the Spuhr interface, interior weights are secured by 3 screws from the bottom of the handguard.

I agree, i dont see anything mdt didnt do for half the price 2 years ago? Maybe im missing something.

The chassis, like all Spuhr products, is made of 7075 aluminum and it is optimized for strength and repeatability while cutting any unnecessary weight. This is the reason why it does not feature a magazine cutout on the weak side.

Feature 2 - The Chassis Body

The SICS™ Chassis Body is machined from a single billet of 7075 T651 aluminum alloy, and is designed to provide the most rigid cradle possible for the barreled action, as to achieve the highest possible degree of accuracy and precision from the rifle system.

The first step in the design process was to ensure that the forend attaches in front of the action so that any side forces onto the forend do not spread to the chassis body or to the barreled action.

The next step was to choose a magazine, where we opted for the tried and true AICS pattern magazine well, thus achieving a stronger chassis body, by using a magazine that locks from the bottom rear than from the side, as well as allowing the user a wider range of sources for magazines than a single brand. (We also offer an extended magazine stop for gunsmith fitting for those who need them.)

We also extended the sides of the magazine well forward, so that they provide a natural barricade stop without impacting the barreled action or the forend.

The third step was to fit the chassis body with a comfortable grip. We naturally chose to design the SICS™ Chassis Body to accept most aftermarket AR15 pistol grips, but in the end we opted to design and fit the SICS™ with our own rubberized grip design. To ensure that the pistol grip is as comfortable as possible we made it adjustable, with 8 mm/0.32” of travel, to perfectly align your trigger finger with the trigger.

Though the pistol grip does not feature a thumb shelf, we have created a natural resting place for the shooting hand above the rear of the pistol grip.

As a compliment to the QD sling cups on top of the forend, a third QD sling cup is attached to the rear left side of the chassis body.

Finally, we added Spuhr Interfaces™ to the sides of the mag well, so that cartridge holders and other accessories can be attached there. Also, competition shooters may want to attach accessories such as timers or DOPE card holders, etc., to the rifle even if they chose not to use one of our ISMS™ scope mounts.

I agree, but to be fair MDT chassis are 6061-T6 while these are 7075-T651.
