Introducing the R12 CLX Bolt Action – A Legacy of 160 Years Unveiled Anew
After the resounding success of the Ultra CLX model in 2021 and the subsequent triumph of the R12 CLX Pro in September 2022, BSA Guns is thrilled to herald the arrival of our latest masterpiece: the R12 CLX Bolt Action. This eagerly anticipated innovation is set to grace the market in two distinct lengths – the Carbine and its even more compact counterpart, the Super Carbine. To cater to diverse preferences, we present a selection of three Minelli-crafted stock options: the timeless Walnut, the distinguished Black Pepper Laminate, and the sleek Black Edition. While initially available in the primary calibers of .177 and .22, be prepared for forthcoming introductions of additional calibers to further enrich your shooting experience.
Building upon the rich legacy of the beloved R10SE, the new R12 CLX Bolt Action is not just an evolution; it's a harmonious fusion of classic heritage and modern engineering. Crafted, conceived, and brought to life at our esteemed headquarters in Birmingham, England, this masterpiece is a testament to our commitment to innovation. We've harnessed cutting-edge design and prototyping processes to refine and redefine excellence. In this journey, we've remained steadfastly loyal to the essence of the R10SE, and to bring the new stock design to life, we collaborated closely with the masterful artisans at Minelli in Italy, ensuring that the outcome unmistakably bore the signature of "BSA."
The R12 CLX Bolt Action embraces a series of transformative enhancements while retaining the cherished essence of its predecessor. The most notable stride is the adoption of our proven Mono-block platform – a feat of engineering that streamlines components, reduces complexity, and enhances reliability and efficiency. As a representative of the CLX series, it features the acclaimed 12-shot magazine system, bolstered by the reassurance of a 'cocked' indicator. And, in response to impassioned feedback from our valued clientele, who favor the enduring elegance of bolt actions, this model proudly boasts BSA's iconic bolt action mechanism. Air efficiency attains new heights with an all-new regulator, while the familiar 200cc air bottle continues to be the heart of the system. Notably, at the stock's fore end, we've orchestrated modifications that facilitate the accommodation of larger 280cc or 400cc bottles without necessitating any alterations. The ingenious repositioning of the pre-fitted Sling studs clears the path for seamless bi-pod attachment without interfering with the Quick Fill system.
Elevating the experience further, the R12 CLX Bolt Action incorporates premium materials and components, including stainless-steel pellet probes and an enlarged, crystal-clear pressure gauge that simplifies air pressure monitoring. These thoughtful refinements contribute to a PCP air rifle that remains faithful to the R10SE's essence while embracing a minimal overlap with its predecessor's components. Indeed, the trigger and trigger guard are the sole major components that bridge the two models. And, true to BSA's legacy, the hand-chambered, crowned, and choked cold hammer-forged barrel takes its rightful place – arguably the pinnacle of precision in barrel craftsmanship.
Distinguished by its innovative 12-shot CLX magazine, this gem features a shot countdown window, offering you unobstructed visibility into your remaining shots and granting precise control over your shooting session. As a testament to our commitment to excellence, each R12 CLX Bolt Action arrives with an additional magazine, beautifully nestled within the package.
Presenting the R12 CLX Bolt Action with our signature CCS (Customer Configurable Shroud) system. This ingenious feature empowers you with the choice of a shrouded silencer or, should your ambitions lead you to wield a larger-diameter scope, the CCS offers the option to remove the shroud while retaining the 'Silencer' portion of the system. Every necessary component is artfully included within the package.
In this symphony of accuracy, precision, and craftsmanship, the R12 CLX Bolt Action stands as the embodiment of a new era. Yet, don't just take our word for it; witness its prowess firsthand and be the judge of its remarkable capabilities.
