    ISP Spartan

    Does anybody have one on here?

    I quite fancy one as an alternative to shelling out on a sako 85 fullbore as I think it will get more use.

    What are they like and are there comparable alternatives?

    What's the weight like compared to a regal?

    In a word mate, they're beautiful.
    I'm lucky enough to see most Spartan rifles being created and just to see them being born out of a lump of steel is brilliant.
    All handmade to the customers spec, tested, tweaked and then finished to 'London standards' including options of engraving, blueing, colour case hardening, fluting, jewelling etc etc.
    One of the very few, true 'custom guns'.
    Off the bench, mine would hold its own against anything I put next to it - not that you'd use one of these for FT or clearing rats out of a barn!
    If you've got the option of getting one, then do so as you'll never lose a penny on it if you decide to sell it.

    Cheers, Craig

    Good grief. That's the equivalent of a page 3 for the BBS.
    Are you allowed to put dirty pictures like that up without warning people first!!!??
    I swear the missus will think I've been googling Kate Beckinsale...

    Pretty isnt it?
    To be fair, the pictures aren't the best and don't do it any justice at all. I only took a few quick ones as I was moving house. I'll pop round to Shauns when I get a free afternoon and set up some arty farty Spartan scene and take some proper shots.

    It's a beauty that Craig

    I won't be buying one this year (other shooting priorities that I'm saving for), but there's always next. I've had a hankering for one as every time I see one, I could swear it's winking at me.

    And thank you for bringing one to the Bash for us all to have a letch over.

    Beautiful.

    I don't do bling as a rule, but that thing was truly a thing of beauty. Exemplary handling and finish. Loved the jewelling.

    As you say, you wouldn't want to risk it in certain environments - far too precious.
