The excellently designed PCP air rifle BSA R12 CLX attracts attention mainly thanks to its thumbhole walnut stock, which is complemented by a height-adjustable cheekpiece and a three-way adjustable butt pad. In the lower part of the stock there are two sling swivel studs for attaching a sling or a bipod. The surface of the stock with its attractive wood grain has a smooth finish, which transitions to a textured surface in the gripping areas.
The internal system of the air rifle is powered by compressed air stored in a bottle-type air cylinder with a working pressure of 230 Bar and a volume of 280 cm3. The cylinder is filled using a quickfill adapter with a standard 1/8 BSP thread. The current pressure level can be monitored on the analogue manometer located on the fore-end. A built-in regulator ensures consistent shot-to-shot performance.
Shooting is carried out using a side lever. Pulling it back cocks the mechanism and returning it to its original position feeds the pellet from the 12-shot magazine directly into the barrel. To increase safety between shots, the system can be secured using the manual safety located at the rear of the action block.
The precise rifled barrel with shroud has a length of 390mm and is finished with a sound moderator for maximum quiet shooting. As the air rifle is not equipped with open sights, it needs to be fitted with a suitable optic, for which a 13mm dovetail rail is provided.
The sporting two-stage trigger allows adjustment of the trigger travel and the position of the blade in three directions.
The air rifle is supplied with a lock, two magazines, a quickfill adapter and a service kit.
