    FX I have a question for fx Panthera owners

    The bottle has never been in the way on the Panthera. The vertical grip configuration keeps it well away. Shot count is the only difference between your 2 picks. If you aren’t going to competitive shoot I would go with the Dynamic

    To anyone who thought about competing with their airgun in the NRL22 monthly cof and haven’t yet you should. Do some research in your local area to find out what shooting range hosts nrl22 shoots. It in my opinion is the best place to learn how to do positional competitive shooting in a safe...

    Fx Panthera barrel leak, valve seat?

    I received one of the 1st run pantheras I early January and have had zero issues with it. Early on I bored out the block under the plenum to allow for a longer valve travel. The added bore depth was 2mm. This along With never shooting below reg pressure has made it worry free. I have shoot mine...

    Waiting at the mailbox for my 2nd fx panthera

    FX Panthera Tungsten or 8mm Hammer or same?

    I have purchased a tungsten hammer for my 25 cal fx panthera 700 mm but still hesitate to put it in. The gun shoots 40 gr slugs very accurately at 1000 fps with a 138 bar reg pressure With stock hammer. I’m still not sure if the extra weight of the heavier hammer is going to do anything for it...

    Update on fx panthera 25 cal 700mm liner

    i have been shooting and tuning my panthera for a couple of months now and am impressed with it each time I shoot.

    Panthera— first thoughts after a week

    After the reg works in at the start of each shooting session (3 or 4 shoots )it picks up right where it was as far as fps. impact point doesn’t move around so far and the reg pressure has been very consistent
