javelin bipod

[eLightfoot]

What do you guys think of the Spartan javelin bipods? Looking for a longer range back packing style bipod and this one seems perfect. just looking for opinions from guys who hunt with one. Also I noticed Leupold is now offering a bipod which looks exactly like a Javelin, is it a total knock off or something they licensed through Spartan Precision?

Dotman has a review In the general forum and Justin Crossley did a review a year maybe more ago. Very positive feedback

I read through those but they seem more like an impressions review rather than actually using extensively for a couple seasons type review. though they were helpful

They are pretty awesome. My son shot his bull elk at 750 and his antelope at 515 off of the javelin. I shot a mule deer at 460 off of them and have shot rocks out to 1800 with the javelin. I wouldn’t shoot comps with one. But they are the ultimate hunting bipod IMO.

Cooper is also posting pictures through their fbook account with what looks like a Javelin (or 300) with their (Cooper) logo on it....

I am also wondering what the 300 offers over the Javelin?

 

[Ryan Avery]

The 300 is built for short engagements, more for the AR crowd. The 300 doesn’t lock up but you can change the tension.

Are you guys backpacking these in? I'm wondering if it is worth the extra weight?

I took mine on several backpacking hunts.

Spartan is putting leupold, Cooper and a few other companies logo on it, it’s a partnership and is an authentic product.

Here is the First Lite version they made Instagram

Yes, weight is nothing (as you can see in my review) and fits in a Kifaru pocket easily. I put the long legs inside my pack as well.

Been running one for 4 seasons now. Talked a lot with Spartan early on when they were trying to get them into the states and tested the original and new model on several platforms for them. I have the bipod adapter on all my hunting rifles and have the bipod in my water bottle pocket while hunting. It’s performed awesome, and I love the ability to not have weight on the front of the gun hiking in or shooting off hand. Works great on my Kimber MT and just as well on my heavy rifles. I have a lot of .300 WM rounds on it with zero issues. I see zero POI change between bag, bipod, or different brand bipod. I’ve had first round hits to 1380 yards with it (rocks). Christensen Arms is also selling a Javelin with their logo now. Glad to see it gaining some popularity! Buy with confidence if you’re good with stashing it in your pack/pocket!

How are you guys carrying yours in the field?

Son of a B! I didn't know that, should have looked closer before throwing a few hundred dollars at one...

Do you know how tight the tension can get?

You can tighten it but not enough for my liking on a dedicated LR Rig.

Do y'all tend to use the short or the long version more for hunting situations?

The Javelin fits in the Mystery Ranch bear spray pouch like it was made for it...View attachment 68558

I can't see the image but I found the pouch. Thanks for the reply.

I got mine yesterday so I haven't had a chance to use it much but its pretty awesome, weighs nothing and fits into the cargo pocket of my Kuiu attack pants with no issues.
