Galil Sniper Rifle GALAT'Z that introduced in the mid 1980's is the sniping modified version of the Galil 7.62 mm Assault Rifle. It has a built-in bipod, folding stock, cheek pad, and a sight bracket capable of mounting any type of scope or night sight. Other differences between the ARM and the Galat'z include the removal of the capacity for automatic fire, a bipod moved to the rear of the foreguard for better balance, a heavier barrel, a sight mount (actually mounted on the side of the receiver), a full muzzle brake instead of merely a flash suppressor, and a two stage trigger. In addition, the muzzle brake can be removed and replaced with a suppressor. |

The opinion of Israeli snipers of the Galat'z is mixed. They like the light weight and compact design, but the Galat'z is not a very accurate weapon from a sniper's standpoint. The sight bases can become easily misaligned or even broken. As such, only a few hundred were built, but they remain in use. |
