About the Air Arms Galahad
The Air Arms Galahad is a British pre-charged pneumatic (PCP) bullpup air rifle chambered in .22 (5.5mm) and .177 (4.5mm), built in Hailsham, England. Launched in 2016 as Air Arms' first bullpup, it pairs a regulated action fed from a removable air cylinder with a distinctive front-mounted cocking lever, a 10-shot rotary magazine, and a Lothar Walther match barrel. The compact bullpup layout, adjustable cheekpiece and buttpad, and crisp two-stage trigger make it a refined and accurate platform for pest control and hunter field target shooting.
Air Arms, founded in 1983 in Hailsham, East Sussex, built its reputation on precision sporting springers such as the TX200 before entering the bullpup PCP market with the Galahad in 2016, distinguished by its forward-reaching cocking lever and regulated, multi-shot action.
