    ISP Spartan

    Hello all,

    Because it has been such a lousy day here raining i sat down and read the December issue of Airgun World. Read Jim Tyler's FAC & ME artical with interest but on page 54 it has a picture of him with an ISP Spartan PCP and what a magnificant piece of equipement it looks too.

    I have heard of the Spartan but never seen one until now.
    Can anyone tell me more about them please????
    When they were made,good points and the bad?? Are they rare and what sort of money do the demand??? That sort of thing.

    Thanks

    SBD, Did you get yours from C.Moore in the North somewhere? I sold him what I recall being number 10 of 50 about 5 years ago.

    I still have the soft case for it with Spartan written on the side. It is a nice case

    What a stunning looking rifle, one of these could tempt me to return to shooting!

    So what are they like? What have you owners got to say about accuracy, reliability, shot count ect?

    What sort of secondhand prices do these guns command? I might be tempted!

    For some reason I thought they had stopped making the Spartan.

    Great news if they haven't.
    Morally flawed

    Spoken to Shaun earlier today, he has just had an order from a guy to make him the best Spartan ever, money no object, should be a good gun

    Shaun has ordered some nice pieces of wood from the states so if anyone is intrested......

    Hi Dave,

    Interested?...oh yus!... can I afford one? ...sadly not

    But, if money was no object, then I would so very gladly take charge of a Spartan Stutzen - exhibition grade stock (of course!). A more beautiful gun has yet to grace this earth! (IMHO!)...but then as the saying goes, if wishes were horses, beggars would ride!
    blah blah
