    Benjamin Fun With A Benjamin Kratos

    Taking a break from my Impact and Panthera, I recently bought a refurbished .22 Kratos from Airgun Revisions. I've always liked the looks of these rifles and saw this as an opportunity to try out a well-reviewed, unregulated rifle at a very attractive price. I did a full power test of several...

    Maximum Parallax Error

    During the past few days, I participated in a parallax discussion on another thread in this forum. That discussion stimulated a bit of internet research which uncovered some very interesting results. I've competed in various shooting disciplines over the years with a wide variety of...

    Panthera Cocking Lever

    I tested my .22 700 Panthera at an NRL22 practice event today. Everything went well except that the amount of force need to cock the rifle while in position made staying on target difficult. So I have two questions. First, is the cocking force proportional to hammer preload and, if so would...

    FX Panthera Valve Rod Leak

    My one-month old .22 700 cm Panthera has developed a serious leak where the valve rod (20924) passes through the valve holder (20925). I've taken the rifle apart and visually inspected the o-ring in the valve holder (15016) and the valve rod. The o-ring looks OK and the valve rod does not...

    Dead Shoebox New GX CS4=-i

    I rebuilt an F8 Shoebox about three years ago and it has given great service in topping off tanks ever since. Sadly, it failed a few days ago. I think I have another rebuild kit squirreled away somewhere and I will try to resurrect the F8 once again. Since I need a compressor right now, I...

    FX More on the New Panthera

    Good morning, I'm trying to learn more about the new Panthera and would appreciate comments from current Panthera owners on the data I've compiled to date. My rifle is a 700 cm in .22. To get started, I tested the rifle to find the muzzle velocity plateau for several regulator settings and a...

    FX First Post

    Good morning, I've owned a .22 FX Impact Mark II 700 for several years and just took delivery of a .22 FX Panthera 700 last Friday. Prior to purchasing the Panthera, I read a good number of related posts on this forum and watched YouTube videos until my eyes crossed. Even so, the Panthera has...
