Real-World Testing: Putting Primos GM Bipod w/ Spartan Adapter Black Tall to the Test

First Use Experience

I first tested the Primos GM Bipod w/ Spartan Adapter Black Tall during a coyote hunting trip in the high desert of Nevada. The terrain was a mix of rocky slopes and flat, sagebrush-covered areas.

The bipod performed admirably in both sitting and kneeling positions, even in moderately windy conditions, the one-handed adjustability of the Primos Trigger Stick technology proved incredibly useful, allowing for rapid adaptation to uneven ground. The initial attachment to my rifle via the Spartan adapter was quick and intuitive.

Extended Use & Reliability

After several months of consistent use, the Primos GM Bipod w/ Spartan Adapter Black Tall has proven to be a reliable and durable piece of kit. I’ve used it in conditions ranging from freezing temperatures in the mountains to dusty, hot environments during prairie dog hunts, and it has held up well with only minor cosmetic wear.

Maintenance has been minimal; a quick wipe-down with a damp cloth after each use is generally sufficient to keep it clean and functioning smoothly. Compared to previous bipods I’ve owned, the Primos model stands out for its combination of lightweight design, rapid adjustability, and robust construction.
