BSA R12 SLX

The BSA R12 SLX is a refined side-lever evolution of the R12 platform, optimised for smooth, rapid operation and modern handling. Built on a mono-block action with a high-efficiency regulator and cold-hammer-forged barrel (typically 13-inch super-carbine length), it delivers consistent sub-12 ft/lbs power and solid shot counts of around 130 (.177) or 205 (.22) from the standard 200cc bottle (compatible with larger 280/400cc options).

Available with Minelli walnut, laminate, or soft-touch stocks featuring adjustable butt pads and sling studs, the SLX measures approximately 95cm overall and weighs 3.1–3.5kg depending on configuration. Key features include a 12-shot rotary magazine with countdown window and empty-mag indicator, CCS shroud/silencer system, 3-way adjustable trigger, 270° pressure gauge, and low-profile side lever for quiet, effortless cycling. Designed and made in Birmingham, the R12 SLX combines BSA’s legendary accuracy with contemporary ergonomics, making it an excellent choice for field hunting, pest control, and precision target work.
