FX Leopard Compact 500mm Tube PCP Bullpup Air Rifle
£1,272.00
£1,235.00
A compact bullpup that refuses to compromise. The FX Leopard Compact (tube version) combines FX’s proven engineering with a shorter handling package and a 500 mm Superior STX smooth-twist barrel for serious accuracy in a small footprint. The over-barrel air tube and rear power plenum give the rifle balanced handling and consistent pressure around the barrel, while the AMP MKII regulator, Quick-Tune hammer wheel and two-stage match trigger let you tune performance quickly and precisely.
Whether you want a nimble field rifle for pest control, a compact bench/precision rig for closer-range work, or a tidy all-rounder that fits into a vehicle, the Leopard Compact delivers. It’s highly configurable, extremely tunable, and built so you can get the best from a wide range of pellets.

Shooters who want bullpup handling but don't want a long rifle to carry.

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.
