Experience excellent accuracy and performance with the BSA Merlin XL Beech .177 Air Rifle, now available as a comprehensive package with the BSA 3-9x40 Scope. This combination is engineered for sporting shooters, hunters, and for pest control who require reliability and precision in the field.

The Merlin XL air rifle features BSA’s world-renowned Cold Hammer Forged barrel, meticulously crafted in Birmingham, England, ensuring excellent power and accuracy. Its beautiful American Beech stock is fully chequered for improved grip in all weather conditions, complemented by a ventilated butt pad for optimal recoil absorption. The rifle's classic sporter lines are further enhanced by the advanced Custom Action Trigger (CAT), offering precise control over every shot.

10X GEN3i Inertia Fed Technology

This patent-pending 10X GEN3i technology features a sleek design combined with horizontal inertia fed magazine integration. The magazine indexes using the inertia force from the recoil of the air rifle, creating a smoother and more precise breech-loading process.

Custom Action Trigger (CAT)

The revolutionary Custom Action Trigger (CAT) enables air rifle owners to independently adjust the first and second stages of the trigger. This allows for tailoring the trigger pull and crispness to individual preference. To increase trigger travel, simply loosen the first stage adjustment screw, or tighten it for a shorter travel length. The second stage adjustment is made just as easily: unscrew the setting to increase travel length, or decrease it by screwing in the adjustment point.

Recoil Reducing Rail (RRR)

The RRR (Recoil Reducing Rail) was developed to significantly reduce the stresses placed on a scope from the intense recoil of air guns and high-powered rifles. The Recoil Reducing Rail uses a patent-pending two-piece aluminium construction, separated by dual polymer struts, to absorb the shockwaves generated by recoil. Once a scope is mounted to the Recoil Reducing Rail, the recoil stresses to its internal components are reduced by almost 100%. This innovative system ensures scope reliability, reduced vibration, and consistent accuracy, helping to preserve a scope’s lifetime.

Important Safety Information:

• Manual Safety: The manual safety is a lever located on the side of the action. Pushing it forward disengages the safety, while pulling it backwards (towards the trigger) engages it. Always ensure the safety is engaged until ready to shoot.
• Automatic Cocking Safety System: This distinct safety feature prevents the trigger from being pulled while the air rifle is being cocked. When the barrel is broken for cocking, this safety system engages, disengaging once the barrel is returned to its firing position.
