R12 SLX the new side lever PCP from BSA

Following the successful unveiling of the R12 CLX Pro in September 2022, BSA Guns are delighted to announce our next launch in form of the R12 SLX Side Lever  Action. This will become available in two lengths, carbine and the shorter super carbine version, in three Minelli produced stock choices, walnut, black pepper laminate and the black edition. Available in both main calibres .177 and .22

Designed, developed, and manufactured at BSA Head Quarters, in Birmingham England, taking advantage of the very best in new design and prototyping processes. BSA engaged with the expert designers at Minelli in Italy to ensure they jointly delivered a new stock design that was clearly a “BSA” and the achieved result completely met the brief.

Key changes introduced for the all NEW R12 SLX side lever action include the use of the now tried and tested Mono-block platform which reduces components, complexity and improves reliability and efficiency. As this is a SLX model it uses  the 12-shot magazine system with the additional safety features of a ‘cocked’ indicator. Air efficiency has improved with an all-new regulator, and  the standard 200cc air bottle has remained for this model. Changes at the fore end of the stock mean that for the first time, a larger 280cc or 400cc bottle can also be used without any modification. Also, by adjusting the position of the pre fitted Sling studs, a Bi-pod can now be fitted without interfering with the position of the Quick fill system.

Using higher graded materials and components such as stainless-steel pellet probes and a clearer, larger pressure gauge that makes reading air pressure in the rifle easier, and because it is a BSA, it has the world-renowned hand chambered, crowned and choked cold hammer forged barrel……possibly the most accurate barrel available.

The SLX magazine is 12 shot and includes a shot countdown window ensuring you have full visibility and control of how many shots you have left. An additional magazine is also supplied inside the sales package.

The R12 SLX comes fitted with the CCS (Customer configurable shroud) system, allowing the choice of either a shrouded silencer, or for those wishing to use a larger diameter ‘scope’, the CCS can be customised to remove the shroud and utilise only the ‘Silencer’ part of the system with all the required components supplied in the box. Accuracy, Precision and Craftmanship have been combined to produce this next generation.
