The Karma Red Panda: A New Era in Airgun Precision​

The all-new Karma Red Panda Precision Airgun System is engineered from the ground up to deliver superior precision across multiple shooting disciplines. In 2023, Thayne Simmons, shooting for Team Saber Tactical, showcased the air rifle’s capabilities with three first-place finishes using a prototype. Check out our quick highlight reel and also PJ's deep dive into what the 2025 version of the Karma Red Panda is all about:



The 2024 benchrest competition season further solidified its reputation, with over a dozen finalists competing with the original Red Panda, multiple podium finishes, and Thayne setting the all-time professional air rifle benchrest world record score of 240 with 8 Xs. Karma Airguns is proud to announce that the current version shipping to shooters incorporates extensive engineering enhancements to make the Karma Red Panda a breakthrough in precision airgunning through a single precision focused airgun platform.

Dual-Purpose Competition Performance: Precision Marksmanship Challenge & NRL22​

Beyond benchrest supremacy, the Karma Red Panda Precision Airgun is now optimized for Precision Marksmanship Challenge and NRL22 positional style shooting competitions, making it a true dual-purpose airgun platform. A major breakthrough in its versatility lies in the newly engineered barrel system, which features an optimized profile and proprietary rifling designed to accommodate both pellets and slugs with exceptional precision. This barrel technology enhances ballistic efficiency, ensuring superior accuracy across various shooting disciplines.

In addition to the upgraded barrel system, the Red Panda features a more compact overall height profile. The redesigned front rail and plenum have been vertically condensed by nearly an inch compared to the previous model, significantly improving handling and balance in dynamic shooting positions. These enhancements make the Red Panda an ideal choice for shooters who demand precision across both long-range benchrest competitions and fast-paced positional shooting formats.

Revolutionary Plenum and Airflow Design​

The newest version of the Red Panda has been re-engineered with a groundbreaking approach to isolating the plenum air source from the barrel, further refining its precision and consistency. This redesign integrates a twin-tube plenum and high-pressure air source into the front rail system, eliminating any potential air pressure fluctuation effects on barrel harmonics. By creating a direct and uninterrupted airflow path to the 360-degree radial transfer port, this system ensures maximum efficiency and consistency in every shot. Additionally, the Red Panda now boasts one of the largest onboard air plenums in the industry, delivering a massive 200cc of regulated air volume.

Precision Karma Airguns Bull Barrel System​

One of the key advancements in this air rifle is its precision supergrade bull barrel system. This advanced barrel incorporates a 360-degree radial transfer port, delivering the highest level of consistent, clean airflow in the industry. To maximize barrel rigidity and provide predictable barrel harmonics, the barrel-to-action connection is secured with six high-tensile-strength bolts, creating one of the most rock-solid mounting systems available.

Cutting-Edge Barrel Rifling Technology​

The proprietary Karma Airguns barrel rifling manufacturing process undergoes an intensive multi-step approach, utilizing a precision measuring technique that checks for zero variances in bore and land diameter along the entire barrel length. This ensures absolute uniformity and peak ballistic performance. This approach to a one-of-a-kind rifling manufacturing process limits the amount of rifling marks imprinted onto pellets or slugs, resulting in a higher ballistic coefficient for every projectile. The increased ballistic coefficient translates to less wind deflection and improved downrange energy retention, ultimately leading to higher scores in competition. Every barrel is subjected to rigorous testing before shipping—if it does not meet the highest precision standards, it is rejected outright.

Consistent and Adjustable Shot Performance​

Combined with dual stainless steel externally adjustable regulators, the result is outstanding shot-to-shot consistency and stability. Further enhancing predictability is the two-stage adjustable match trigger, offering a light pull weight that can be fine-tuned for precision shooting.

Enhanced Adjustability for Competitive Shooters​

The Red Panda includes a variety of adjustable features tailored for competitive shooters, such as a tool-free externally adjustable transfer port and an externally adjustable hammer spring for customized tuning. Additionally, the stock features an adjustable cheekpiece and shoulder pad, allowing shooters to achieve optimal eye alignment and a comfortable length of pull for peak performance.

Optimized Optics and Accessory Mounting​

For enhanced accuracy at long distances, the top Picatinny rail is built with a 30 MOA cant and includes a rear bubble level to ensure repeatable precision. The front rail system also incorporates long M-LOK accessory rails, allowing shooters to attach shooting weights, bipods, and other essential accessories.

Air Capacity for Extended Performance​

The rifle’s aluminum air cylinders boast an impressive 700cc capacity and fill to 310 BAR (approximately 4,500 PSI), providing ample power for competition use. The modularity of the air capacity can be modified to remove a rear air cylinder for a lightweighter configuration. With a proven track record in the highest levels of competition and cutting-edge engineering for superior accuracy with both slugs and pellets, the Red Panda Precision Airgun stands as the ultimate choice for serious benchrest competitors.
