Watch & Discuss the Air Arms Galahad!

It looked like you have to tilt your head quite a bit to look into your scope. Is that just the way bullpups are shouldered or was it just the Galahad. I've been thinking of getting a bullpup but I'm wondering which is more comfortable to shoulder- bullpup or rifle. I have a pistol/carbine and it's more difficult to hold as steady as my rifle.

Pieces like this slide in that accessory slot and secure via pressure from a grub screw.

Here’s a few Facebook pics I shared back in February.

Can you buy these Accessory rail notches as an after market add on part?
I know you would have to modify the stock but I have a taipan Veteran that I would like to have this on…
Where would you buy them from?
Thanks for the help 
Any help would be appreciated


If you want the recessed rail system? google this: anschutz rail system.

and if you have one on a rifle here is the adapter to weaver for accessories.

RAW has one of those for sale.

Yeah, that gap irks me too. Anyone know why they did it that way?

As a lefty, the adjustability of the Galahad makes this a dream gun for me. Air Arms is a class act! I hope they move to making regulators a standard in all the AA rifles.

I wasn't sure of the shape of this bull pup but it has grown on me. I really am a fan of all that air arms has done for The Industry. This thing has to be a nice rifle.

Nice accurate piece. I noticed not much velocity difference between power level 4 & 5. I like that left side cocking piece

Looks like a fun bullpup and I will enjoy shooting it

Really like the cocking lever, logical placement in my opinion.

The trigger on this looks so nice. I'm playing with a break-barrel pistol that has long travel and marginal feel in the trigger which makes me appreciate the trigger on the Galahad. Nice to see the detail about that in the video. And I am jealous of the groupings.

i wish the barrel was longer and the gun had more realistic look  

Can it be tuned to shoot heavier pellets at 35+FPE

He was talking about the sports rings. Do rings really make that big of a difference.

Al, good luck with your number! Be sure to post it on the original blog to enter.
It sure will be nice to win an airgun that's out of my price range!

Thanks, AGN and AEAC for another great opportunity! Steve, it is hard for me to tell, but does the cocking mechanism have any spring tension to return to the neutral (horizontal) position? also is it possible to double feed? Thanks

I can speak to that some. There was a time in my life where all I was able to afford we're Leapers/UTG... and they worked just fine for me. Years later, I was able to afford BKL and gave them a try. Their self centering design was a real benefit in aligning the scope very close to neutral zero and the quality/rigidity was a big step up. I still have em' and use em.' Then Sportmatch decided to back the channel and once again I was introduced step up in quality, rigidity, and versatility. Perhaps the winner or somene else with experience can speak up but I've never had my hands on nicer mounts.

Nope, just as with a rear bolt or traditional side lever, the shooter has to complete the cocking action with a pellet seating movement. I believe it CAN be double fed but I'm not 100% as I didn't try.

Looking through all these comments I am very surprised at the dislike for the 100 yd groups. I am sure at some point we have all shot better. However if I can expect less than 2 inches any day of the week... well that's a good gun. The galahad looks to be a great gun. The lever location and the beefy construction appeal to me. The only turn offs to me are its crazy high bore axis and its general aesthetics. I personally don't think this will be a huge seller simply because it is too late to the game with too high of a price tag and nothing really groundbreaking but there are at least a couple things that just might push the bullpup ag arena a little bit further. 

I would like to have one!

I have been looking at this gun to purchase. Maybe i will win it. 

I like the gun but for $1.5k i would hope it would be a bit more accurate at 100 yards.
