BSA Scorpion? Still available?

I’ve had a R10 SE. liked it. If memory serves me, the scorpion is a shorter, carbine type version of the R10 SE. Now, I could be mistaken, does this platform differ from the R10SE significantly, or no? Also, is the scorpion a bolt action or a side lever, like the R12?

In the SCORPION PCP family there were many variants manufactured.

Ultra being a compact carbine
Single shot version
Couple mag fed versions
Forward button cocked version
Goldstar FT version
R10 w/ bottle
Likely some I've missed

ALL shared the basic valve & firing system / trigger mechanics.
Barrel lengths, stock profiles, regulators or not pretty much defined what was a specific of each offered model threw the years.

I have a Scorpion multi-shot and an R10. The Scorpion has a tube, the R10 a buddy bottle. Both are bolt action. No manometer on the Scorpion. Both are beautiful guns with nice walnut stocks. Both use the same magazines and the same Rowan single shot loader. Both are very accurate and I have the Huma Air Shrouds with integrated moderator (formerly Huub shrouds) on both rifles. Both rifles are about the same length and heft. My Scorpion looks similar to this one (from the Huma Air site) With that bull barrel look shroud.
