Scope for illustration only

The BSA R12 SLX Side Lever Black Edition is the latest evolution of BSA’s acclaimed R12 platform, combining the proven CLX mono block architecture with a refined, low profile side lever action. Inspired by the legendary R10SE, the SLX enhances reliability, efficiency and handling while retaining the accuracy and build quality BSA is renowned for.

Finished with a durable black rubberised sporter stock, this model offers excellent grip, weather resistance and a practical, understated appearance ideal for hunting and all-weather use. Designed in collaboration with Minelli, the stock provides superb balance and ergonomics while maintaining the unmistakable BSA feel.

At the heart of the R12 SLX is BSA’s world-renowned cold hammer forged barrel, hand-chambered, crowned and choked to deliver outstanding accuracy. The regulated PCP action ensures consistent power delivery, while the smooth low-profile side lever allows fast, effortless follow-up shots.

The rifle uses BSA’s latest 12-shot CLX magazine system, featuring a visible shot countdown window and an empty-magazine indicator for added confidence in the field. A second magazine is supplied as standard.

The R12 SLX Black Edition comes fitted with a 200cc air bottle, providing excellent efficiency and shot count. For added versatility, the revised forend allows optional upgrade to 280cc or 400cc bottles without modification. The redesigned sling stud placement also allows bipod use without interfering with the quick-fill system.

Sound moderation is handled by BSA’s CCS (Customer Configurable Shroud) system, allowing the rifle to be used fully shrouded or configured with the silencer unit only, depending on optic size and user preference.

Designed, developed and manufactured at BSA’s headquarters in Birmingham, England, the R12 SLX Black Edition delivers modern performance while staying true to over 160 years of BSA heritage.
