Over 160 years in the making, the BSA R12 SLX Side Lever is the next generation evolution of the much loved R10SE, blending timeless British craftsmanship with cutting edge performance and modern enhancements. Designed, developed, and manufactured at BSA's headquarters in Birmingham, England, the R12 SLX builds on the proven mono block platform (introduced with the Ultra CLX) to deliver improved reliability, efficiency, and accuracy in a side lever configuration.

Key upgrades include a tried and-tested mono block design (fewer components, greater reliability), a low profile side lever for smoother operation, an all-new regulator for superior air efficiency, a clearer and larger pressure gauge, and stainless steel pellet probes. The stock crafted in collaboration with Minelli in Italy is unmistakably BSA, with a classic walnut sporter style that balances perfectly. For the first time, larger 280cc or 400cc bottles can be fitted without modification, and repositioned sling studs allow bipod use without interfering with the quick-fill system.

The world renowned hand chambered, crowned, and choked cold hammer forged barrel remains the heart of the rifle widely regarded as one of the most accurate available. The 12-shot magazine includes a shot countdown window and a clever safety feature: after the last shot, the probe won't fully advance, confirming the magazine is empty. An additional magazine is included in the box.

The R12 SLX features the CCS (Customer Configurable Shroud) system choose a full shrouded silencer or remove the shroud for larger scopes, with all components supplied. Available in carbine and super-carbine lengths, in walnut, black pepper laminate, or black edition stocks.
