The BSA Merlin XL Synthetic .22 air rifle, paired with a BSA 3-9x40 scope, offers exceptional performance for sporting, hunting, and outdoor shooting activities. This latest version of the Merlin XL builds upon its successful heritage, providing impressive power and accuracy, thanks to BSA’s world-renowned Cold Hammer Forged barrel, meticulously crafted in Birmingham, England.

Designed for the discerning shooter, this air rifle features a durable synthetic stock that blends a traditional hunting design with automotive-grade glass-filled nylon materials. The forearm, grip, and cheek piece are all non-slip texturized for enhanced handling and control. The rifle also incorporates the advanced Custom Action Trigger (CAT) for precise shot control, making it an ideal choice for those who demand both top performance and style.

10X GEN3i Inertia Fed: This patent-pending 10X GEN3i technology boasts a sleek design and horizontal inertia-fed magazine integration. The magazine indexes using the inertia force from the air rifle's recoil, ensuring a smoother and more precise breech loading process.

Custom Action Trigger (C.A.T.): The revolutionary C.A.T. allows air rifle owners to independently adjust the first and second stages of their trigger. This enables customisation of the trigger pull and crispness to suit individual preferences. Loosen the first stage adjustment screw to increase trigger travel, or tighten it for a shorter travel length. The second stage adjustment is just as straightforward: unscrew to increase travel length or screw in to decrease it.

Recoil Reducing Rail (RRR): The RRR was developed to significantly reduce the stresses placed on your scope from the intense recoil of air guns and high-powered rifles. This patent-pending two-piece aluminium construction, separated by dual polymer struts, effectively absorbs recoil shockwaves. When a scope is mounted to the Recoil Reducing Rail, the recoil stresses to its internal components are reduced by almost 100%. This technology ensures enhanced scope reliability, reduced vibration, and consistent accuracy, preserving your scope’s lifetime for extended use in the field.
