Hard Air Magazine readers first saw the Karma SLS PCP air rifle in our report from the 2024 IWA OutdoorClassics Show. Now it’s available At Pyramyd and you can buy it yourself!
The Karma SLS is a “little brother” to the well-known Karma Red Panda benchrest air rifle. It’s interesting in many respects and unusual in one – it can be operated in either sidelever-cocking or semi-automatic mode.
It’s available in four configurations. Either .22 or .25 caliber and in Compact and Standard lengths. The fill pressure with High Pressure Air is 4,500 PSI for both models and – of course – both are fitted with regulators. Below we see the SLS Compact.
The knob above the trigger on the left side of the action allows the owner to switch the SLS between sidelever cocking and semi-auto action.
Pulling out on the knob activates semi-auto mode, which uses air pressure to cycle the magazine and fire as fast as the shooter can pull the trigger. Pushing down on the knob for engages sidelever mode. This uses the sidelever to cycle the magazine and gives quieter operation.
| Compact | Standard | |
|---|---|---|
| Overall Length | 31.5 Inches | 36.2 Inches |
| Barrel Length | 12 Inches | 16 Inches |
| HPA Bottle Capacity | 250 cc | 350 cc |

Other user-adjustable features include the externally-adjustable regulator. There’s also a tool-free externally-adjustable transfer port knob, plus a tool-free externally-adjustable hammer spring knob.
The Karma SLS PCP air rifle has a Mil-Spec folding adjustable stock. There’s also a Picatinny optics rail with a bubble level and a 20 MOA angle to improve long-range accuracy. Additional Picatinny accessory rails are located on both sides of the stock under the optics rail.
There are M-LOK accessory rails on the sides below the air cylinder, and an Arca-Swiss rail underneath the air cylinder. That’s lots of flexibility for adding accessories!
High level performance figures are as follows.
