Am considering a bullpup for the next harvesting mission for Farm Snipers with Jim Walton. Will take a good look at this one.

Can you buy these Accessory rail notches as an after market add on part?From AEAC
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.

It took a few hundred shots before I stopped thinking about it and started appreciating it. This one didn't like the Barracuda but as with all LW barrel's, you've got to give em a try. It loved GTO's at 25 yds BTW but they hooked out to 2" at 50 on me. It also loved 15.89 JSB at 25 on P4 and even shot the JSB 18.13 at 100 well on P4."Bruce54"I have looked at the Galahad before and liked what I saw but the price was a little scary. It is an Air Arms and I guess the the quality will always step forward. Never owned a bullpup and I wonder how difficult it is to get a good cheek weld with high rings needed for my scope. Also, how many shots did it take to get used to the cocking lever? What results did you get with H and N Barracuda, if you tried them?
This gun will shoot 1" groups at 100 all day long with no wind. 3/5 landed in a .75" hole and the other 2 moved on me. Remember, light wind will move an 18 gr pellet an awful lot over the course of 300 feet."Fuji04"Like the cocking lever idea...Not impressed with the 100 yard accuracy but the 50 yard is spot on....But the overall design is excellent.
Cheek weld was good. That's just my normal routine of getting on the gun for best accuracy. This gun will shoot 1″ groups at 100 all day long with no wind. 3/5 landed in a .75″ hole and the other 2 moved on me... and only out to 1.9" Remember, light wind will move an 18 gr pellet an awful lot over the course of 300 feet."Bruce"Another great video Steve. You did look a little uncomfortable with you cheek weld. Great 50 yard group but the 100 yard.....not so much. Was the wind a factor? Maybe a .25 would do a little better.
Yeah, it's always hard to let the one's go that can shoot MOA at 100 yds. This ons's a gem."Willie14228"
"theSavage12"This gun seems like it'd be a fantastic woods gun, short lightweight but doesn't seem to lack any of the accuracy of a full length rifle
Wonder about the cocking lever in hunting ... at least in my neck of the woods as we have a lot of gatcha vines that could hang up on it. But I don't know it may not be an issue
That being said I like the looks and darn it I sure enough like the fact they made concessions to us lefty folks big time CUDOS for that!!!
Kind of wish they took the cocking lever one step further and made it so it fully returns on spring load .... that is to say push down with your thumb , release and it pulls itself back up, now that would make for some fast shooting
*****Question? Does it have an anti-double feed?
Thanks Steve kind of sounded like you might have a hard time turning that one loose
As a rule, I always shoot just one take unless something happened that would misrepresent the ability of the product... like a huge poof of wind, obvious bad pellet, or I just totally blew the shot for some reason. It happens but it's rare. In the case of the Galahad, I recorded one 100 yard group but shot the distance on 3 targets. One, to gauge drop at 10x and make sure I was sighted properly and ready to dope for wind conditions. Two to check the 18.13 gr, on P4 out of simple curiosity... is was just as accurate at P5. And three, to shoot the group you saw in the video. I was doping a bit for the cross wind and as you saw, 3 landed in a .75" hole and the other 2 blew and inch and half left on me."tsp3355"Thanks for another excellent review Steve! I'm curious if the 100 yard target you shot on the video was the best of many or is that a typical representation of what the gun will do at that distance?
For what it's worth, I was doping a bit for the cross wind and as you saw at 100, 3 landed in a .75″ hole and the other 2 blew and inch and half left on me. In my experience, it's normal for an 18gr pellet to move 1-3" in 4-5 mph winds. This gun is very capable of 1" groups at 100 yds with no wind."bigE"As always real good review by Steve... i always enjoy and look forward to his work. It was dead on at 50 yards...the 100 yard target not so much. I like the gun to be a good rabbit hunting gun. Where i hunt rabbit most shots are within 50 yards so this gun would be just right for me. Im sure the groups at 100 yards can get better once you get to know your particular gun a little better. Oh and thanks to Air Arms for the chance to win the Galahad and Air Gun Nation also.
In my experience, it’s normal for an 18gr pellet to move 1-3″ at 100 in 4-5 mph winds. In doping a bit for the cross wind, 3 landed in a .75″ hole and the other 2 blew and inch and half left on me. I feel like this one is very capable of 1″ groups at 100 yds with no wind. Hope this helps."addertooth"I will pipe in, 2 MOA at 100 yards is not too shabby. This is not even allowing for the breeze.
