Product Description
BSA R12 SLX Walnut PCP Air Rifle – Carbon Bottle
Precision Engineering Meets Modern PCP Performance
The BSA R12 SLX Walnut Carbon Bottle is a premium pre-charged pneumatic (PCP) air rifle built for shooters who demand exceptional consistency, refined handling, and proven British craftsmanship. Combining a beautifully finished walnut stock with advanced engineering, this rifle delivers outstanding accuracy whether you’re target shooting or pest control.
Designed and manufactured in Birmingham, England, the R12 SLX builds on decades of BSA innovation while introducing a host of performance-focused upgrades. Its low-profile side lever action offers fast, smooth cycling, while the regulated air system provides consistent shot-to-shot performance for improved accuracy.
The addition of a lightweight 300cc carbon fibre air bottle increases shot capacity without compromising balance, making the rifle ideal for extended shooting sessions.
Built for Accuracy
At the heart of the R12 SLX is BSA’s renowned 13-inch cold hammer forged barrel. Every barrel is hand-finished, crowned, and choked to deliver exceptional precision across a wide range of pellet types. Combined with the regulated PCP system, this ensures reliable accuracy from the first shot to the last.
The upgraded regulator maximises air efficiency while maintaining consistent muzzle energy within legal UK limits, helping shooters achieve repeatable results with every fill.
Smooth Side Lever Action
The low-profile side lever provides quick and effortless cocking, allowing rapid follow-up shots with minimal movement. Designed for reliability and ease of operation, the action complements the rifle’s modern monoblock construction for improved durability and simplified maintenance.
A visible cocking indicator adds an extra layer of safety by clearly showing when the rifle is cocked and ready to fire.
Lightweight Carbon Bottle Performance
The factory-fitted 300cc carbon fibre air bottle offers an excellent balance of reduced weight and increased shot count.
Approximate shots per fill:
- .177 Calibre – Up to 130 shots
- .22 Calibre – Up to 205 shots
The rifle fills to a maximum pressure of 230 Bar using the supplied fill probe and quick-connect adaptor.
Advanced 12-Shot Magazine System
The R12 SLX features BSA’s latest 12-shot rotary magazine, designed for smooth and reliable feeding.
Features include:
- 12-shot capacity in both .177 and .22
- Shot countdown window
- Empty magazine indicator
- Two magazines supplied as standard
The magazine system allows quick reloads while providing a clear visual indication of remaining shots.
Premium Walnut Stock
