Sounds like the perfect squirrel bashing set up. How much was it Rob if you don't mind me asking? I've read the sub 12ft/lb versions can be picked up for around £300!

I paid £540 for it but it is the only FAC .25 in the UK which I had to get transferred from another RFD. I spoke to Edgar Brothers and it would be a three month wait and it lists at £600. The price isn't relevant because its going nowhere soonOriginally Posted by Elliott
You can spend thousands and still miss a barn door or spend just enough and enjoy yourself. If you haven't got the talent to start with a million pound won't fix it. Whippet, Russell, a few bang sticks and a flat cap.http://www.smart-tech1st.co.uk

(The JSB Jumbos cost £12 for 350 which doesn't seem overly excessive.) £7.50 a tin from countryway gunshop. I use them in my bt65 and my at44 single shot and both love them.

A little update after about 2000 shots. This rifle has settled in well and now shoots 39 shots at around 870fps from 180bar. I am utterly astounded at the accuracy of this rifle, just last night I went out and the rabbits were unusually shy. I spent a few shots zeroing at 80 yards and then had four rabbits. The closest at 60 yards and the furthest at 128 paces with three mildots holdover. Can't ask for more can you.

I have Three Galatians in .22 sub 12lb, and absolutely love them. The features on them put a lot of other high end manufactures to shame.
The only down side is the weight.
I lent a Galatian one for a You Tube video review, which was not very complimentary about it, but in my opinion, he completely missed the point.
A VERY underrated gun

I have a medical condition which causes me to make all shots supported. Easy enough using shooting sticks even when in the hide.

Since my initial testing began I have realised that the gun operated in a pretty tight window of 180-140bar. All things being considered my first tests would appear to have been flawed and the shot count lower than anticipated at full power. The net result was a gun that gave 35 usable shots but you had to get used to the power curve above and below the given range. It ran low at anything above 180bar. I have now fitted a Rob Lane Lancet Mk8 at 145bar and it allows me to charge to 250bar. Last night I gave it its first test to 230bar and got 37 shots ranging from 841-851fps before the reg dropped off. Tonight I have spent a bit more time and zeroed it from 230bar and the result is pretty much superb. I fired 39 shots and it still had 150bar in the tube. I am looking forward to the next tests at 250bar and will report back how it turns out.
