Three bodies. One honest platform.
BP-C, BP-A and BP-X share the same regulated action, the same two-stage trigger and the same centred magazine. What changes is barrel length and how much air you carry — and every number on this page is printed with the conditions it was measured under.
Same action. Three amounts of barrel and air.
Caliber decides what you shoot. Body decides how long you keep shooting before you refill — and how easily the rifle moves with you.

Lab conditions: 10-shot strings on production rifles, factory tune, 20 °C. Shots per fill are at the efficiency setting, not maximum power — plan on roughly half at the top setting, and fewer again in cold weather. Ammunition, tune and temperature move every figure here.
Built to put power exactly where you aim.
Precision starts with control. The QILIN BP Series combines a precision-rifled barrel, regulated air delivery, and a crisp two-stage trigger in one repeatable shooting system.
Precision-rifled barrel
AEA precision-rifled, fully shrouded barrels are engineered for outstanding accuracy across the BP-C, BP-A, and BP-X.
Regulated shot consistency
A 310 bar fill system and 70–200 bar adjustable regulator keep power delivery controlled across the shot string.
Crisp two-stage trigger
Set the 4–12 oz trigger range for a clean, predictable break that helps you stay steady through the shot.
The three things owners mention first.
The trigger
Two-stage, adjustable, clean break, short reset. It is the first thing owners bring up and the last thing they would trade away.
Offhand, not as a compromise
The bullpup layout puts the mass between your hands. Standing groups hold up against bench groups instead of falling apart.
Centred magazine, reversible lever
The magazine sits on the centreline and the forward side-lever swaps sides in minutes. Left-handed shooters give up nothing.
Buy the rifle. Keep upgrading the platform.
The QILIN BP Series is built around interchangeable barrel and air-cylinder architecture, giving the platform room to expand in caliber, air capacity, and purpose.
Upgrade kits are in final testing. Join the list and we will tell you the day they ship.
Paraphrased from public forum threads and video reviews.
“Better than triggers on rifles costing twice as much. If I lost it tonight I would order another one in the morning.”
“The only PCP I own that shoots as well standing as it does off a rest.”
“Magazine sits dead centre — zero issues as a lefty. One of the main reasons I bought it.”
