Galaxy M82 Bolt Action Sniper Rifle with Scope and Bipod (G31C – Blue)
The Galaxy G31C is a spring-powered bolt-action rifle styled on the M82, the large anti-materiel rifle famous for its imposing size and muzzle brake. This version is finished in blue and comes with a scope and bipod, so it looks the part straight out of the box.
Galaxy makes affordable spring rifles that appeal to newer players and collectors alike, and its M82 is one of the most eye-catching replicas you can bring to a game. As a spring bolt-action rifle, it needs no battery or gas, which keeps running costs low and makes it reliable in any weather.
Build and design
The M82’s bulky, purposeful profile is unmistakable, and the blue finish gives it an extra twist. The included bipod lets you shoot from a stable, prone or rested position, and the scope gives magnification for picking out targets at range.
This is a large rifle, so think about how you will carry it around a site; a padded rifle bag and a sling make it far more manageable.
How it works
Each shot is prepared by working the bolt, which compresses the spring and chambers a BB. Pull the trigger and the spring drives the piston forward to fire the shot. Because power comes from the spring, the rifle shoots consistently regardless of temperature.
Take time to set the hop-up and zero the scope together. Once they are matched to your chosen BB weight, a spring rifle can be very consistent from shot to shot.
Getting started
Read the manual so you are familiar with the safety and loading. Load the magazine, work the bolt fully back and forward, and fire a few shots at a safe backstop with the hop-up off. Add hop gradually until the BBs fly flat at your usual engagement distance, then zero any optic to match.
Note the hop setting that suits your chosen BB weight so you can return to it, and have the rifle chronographed at your site before play.

Compatibility
Use magazines and parts listed for the Galaxy M82 / G31 series. Heavier, good quality seamless BBs, such as 0.28g or more, give the best accuracy from a bolt-action rifle; adjust the hop-up to suit. Galaxy also makes accessories for its M82, such as a carry handle, so check that parts are listed for the G31 series.
Care and maintenance
Store the rifle with the spring uncocked, as leaving it cocked for long periods weakens the spring. Clean the inner barrel now and then with a rod and patch, and use clean, seamless BBs.
Check that the scope mounts and bipod are tight before each game, wipe the rifle down after damp days, and transport it in a padded bag to protect the scope.
Who is it for?
The Galaxy M82 suits newer players who want an affordable, eye-catching sniper rifle, players who enjoy a support or overwatch role, and collectors of distinctive replicas. The blue version is a real conversation piece.
Please note: BBs are not included. Always wear suitable eye and face protection and check your site’s rules, including any minimum engagement distances for bolt-action rifles, before play.
