Our Story

At Spartan Precision Equipment Ltd, we produce rifle and optic support systems that weigh less and do more. Hunting is in each member of our team’s DNA, and as such we understand the rigours of our passion wherever they may take us around the world, and bind all of our knowledge and efforts together to ensure our designs never fall short of any requirement for that product’s application.

Crafting Precision: Our Journey

Since 2013, Spartan has launched five revolutionary product categories, from bipods to tripods, all adhering to our high-quality standards. Each product undergoes a rigorous two-year development process, with every material carefully assessed and prototypes tested in extreme environments. Feedback from these tests is used for further refinement until the product meets our standards. Final assembly takes place in our UK workshop before distribution.

The Javelin Bipod: A New Age Solution

The Javelin Bipod, our flagship product, exemplifies our commitment to quality and practicality across all rifle shooting disciplines. Designed for easy attachment and detachment, it’s lightweight and perfect for diverse hunting scenarios. Founder Rob Gearing created this ultra-strong bipod after years of frustration with cumbersome gear, leading to its quick success among shooters worldwide. The Javelin Bipod laid the foundation for Spartan’s product lineup, earning a loyal and growing following.

Glassing the Future

We are continually pioneering new solutions, practices, and materials, with exciting releases in the pipeline that we can't wait to share. Our roadmap for business expansion is bright, and we look forward to welcoming future members to the Spartan family who share our unwavering passion for rifle sports and the outdoors, complementing the skills and experience of our team.

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!”
