Product Description
The BSA Merlin XL Synthetic .177 air rifle, paired with a BSA 3-9x40mm scope, offers a complete and high-performance package for sporting shooters, hunters, and outdoor enthusiasts. This combination is engineered for exceptional precision and reliability, making it ideal for various outdoor activities including pest control and target shooting.
The latest BSA Merlin XL rifle features a world-renowned Cold Hammer Forged barrel, proudly made in Birmingham, England, ensuring superior accuracy and durability. Its new synthetic stock design blends traditional hunting aesthetics with robust, automotive-grade glass-filled nylon materials. The forearm, grip, and cheek piece are non-slip textured, providing a secure and comfortable hold in all conditions. Shooters will appreciate the enhanced Custom Action Trigger (C.A.T.), which allows for independent adjustment of both the 1st and 2nd stages, enabling a tailored trigger pull and crispness for optimal control with every shot.
Further enhancing performance, the BSA Merlin XL incorporates the 10X GEN3i Inertia Fed System. This patent-pending technology features a sleek design with horizontal inertia fed magazine integration, where the magazine indexes using the inertia force from the air rifle's recoil. This innovative system creates a smoother and more precise breech loading process. Additionally, the Recoil Reducing Rail (RRR) is specifically developed to minimise the taxing stresses placed on your scope from intense air rifle recoil. Utilising a patent-pending two-piece aluminium construction separated by dual polymer struts, the RRR absorbs shockwaves, reducing recoil stresses to internal scope components by almost 100%. This preserves your scope’s lifetime and ensures consistent accuracy.
Complementing the Merlin XL air rifle, the included BSA 3-9x40mm scope is designed for clarity and reliability. Its robust construction and advanced optics ensure consistent performance in the field, making it highly suitable for target shooting, hunting, and pest control.

The manual safety is a lever located in front of the trigger. Pull it forward for safety off, or pull it backwards (towards the trigger) for safety on. Always ensure the safety is engaged until you are ready to shoot.
The automatic cocking safety system prevents the trigger from being pulled while the air rifle is being cocked. This safety engages when the barrel is broken and disengages once the barrel is returned to its firing position.
