On this week's #SundayGunday, we’re checking out a new entry from Spartan Precision Equipment that heralds a whole new line of gear from the innovative brand. Spartan burst onto the scene with a revolutionary new way to attached bipods, tripods and other accessories to hunting firearms with it’s MagnaSwitch system. We actually gave the company a Golden Bullseye this year for their Springbok Tripod, a lofty achievement for a shooting support, partially off the strength of this very system, which allows for a whole host of supports to be effectively used in the field.
Now, the company has released a whole new bipod termed the Vidarr, utilizing a brand new attachment system called Disc-Lok. Why create a whole new system, you ask? Well, if MagnaSwitch is the ultralight QD system for hunters looking to travel light, the Disc-Lok adds a few more ounces in pursuit of extreme stability. Rather than simply sliding straight into a cup, the Disc-Lok system uses a spring-loaded collar to lock in the head of a 16mm stainless still spigot. This auto-gated locking mechanism is self-aligning for a repeatable connection every time. The Vidarr is the perfect bipod for this system. Utilizing Spartan’s standard blend of 7075 aluminum main components and carbon fiber legs, the Vidarr can be run as a QD rig, or left in place like a more standard bipod thanks to its four pitch positions: 0 degrees, 45 degrees, 90 degrees and 180 degrees. These intermediary positions also allow a hunter to more effectively load the legs on hillside shots. Leg height is adjustable between 12 positions, with each leg being independently spring loaded for rapid and potentially asymmetrical deployment. Both legs bite into the ground with tungsten tips, though rubber boots are included so you don’t scuff your favorite shooting bench. Minimum height for the bipod, at a 45-degree leg position, is five inches, while its maximum height at 90-degrees is 9 ¼ inches. Cant adjustment goes 15-degrees left and right.
Disc-Lok adapters can be attached to Arca, M-Lok or Picatinny, and the best part? If you find you don’t need a bipod, you can quickly pull the Vidarr off, and either run the gun slick, or attach the company’s Hercules tripod.
