FX Leopard 500mm Compact Bottle PCP Bullpup Air Rifle
£1,617.00
£1,560.00
Compact, capable and built for shooters who want full-size performance from a compact bullpup layout. The FX Leopard Bottle version takes FX’s proven engineering and packages it into a short 690 mm platform that still delivers exceptional accuracy, shot count and tunability — ideal for benchrest, target work and serious pest control when space or mobility matter.
Overview
The Leopard uses an over-the-barrel air tube (510 cc) and a rear power plenum to give excellent balance and consistent pressure around the barrel for stable groups. The 500 mm Superior STX smooth-twist barrel, FX AMP MKII regulator and two-stage match trigger combine to offer the level of consistency FX is known for. The bullpup layout keeps overall length small without sacrificing barrel length — giving the handling of a compact rifle with the performance of a full-length system.
Who it’s for
Benchrest and target shooters who want a short, transportable platform that still holds tight groups.
Pest controllers and field shooters who value quick handling and high shot count.
Anyone who likes a highly tunable rifle: external regulator, Quick Tune hammer wheel and adjustable match trigger put meaningful control in the shooter’s hands.

Important Notice
Important Notice for the Purchase and Delivery of Airguns, Pressure Components of Airguns, and Moderators
Effective Compliance with the Violent Crime Reduction Act 2006 (VCRA): Sections 31 and 32
Under the provisions of Sections 31 and 32 of the Violent Crime Reduction Act 2006, which were enacted through "The Violent Crime Reduction Act 2006 (Commencement No 3) Order 2007: firearms measures," specific regulations now apply to air weapons, their Pressure-Bearing component parts, and certain accessories.
Key Points to Note:
Restricted Items:
- Airguns: All airguns are classified as restricted items.
- Pressure-Bearing Parts of Airguns: This includes barrels, cylinders, reservoirs, and pistons.
- Functional Moderators (Silencers/Suppressors): Moderators that reduce the sound of discharge are also classified as restricted items.
Definition and Registration:
- Component Parts: While the VCRA does not explicitly define "component parts," the Home Office interprets this to include pressure-bearing parts such as barrels, cylinders, reservoirs, and pistons.
- Accessories: Only moderators (silencers) require registration by dealers.
Legal Requirements for Transfer:
- In-Person Transfer: It is an offence under the VCRA to transfer these restricted items through standard postal systems or to the end customer directly without the presence of both the buyer and either the seller or a representative of the seller.
- Representatives of the Seller: This can be:
- An employee of the seller who is a registered firearms dealer (RFD).
- Another RFD authorized by the seller.
- An employee of the authorized RFD.
Collection and Delivery Options:
- Collection from Store: Customers are encouraged to collect their restricted items directly from the store where purchased.
- Transfer to Another RFD: Items can be transferred to a local RFD for collection, though the receiving RFD may charge a fee for this service.
- Home Delivery: We offer home delivery through our in-house team to some areas of the UK. However, please note that this service has location restrictions and incurs higher costs due to the need for dedicated transport, making it more expensive than a standard RFD transfer.
