The People Behind The Passion
The Team
We are a close-knit and friendly team based in the south of England, and it is our mission to produce the finest rifle and optic systems so the modern rifle shooter can derive as much enjoyment from ethical hunting or competition shooting without being limited by gear. Each member of the team is of the belief that Spartan is not just a job, but a way of life, and derive as much satisfaction from introducing more hunters to products designed for them as they do using them themselves. The last three years has really seen the business evolve, and with it the happy customer base grow. As Mr G says: “Providing answers to hunters is immensely rewarding when you get it right!”
