A New Compact Airgun Era Unfolds - The New Panthera Hunter Compact is Now Available.

M3 Compact = 25" | WC MK3 Compact = 27" |
Panty = 30 inches. So what's new here?


Paul,

I'll tell you what's new, and why this is "A New Compact Era".
Because FX said it is.
That's it.

Simple.
It's called "advertising".
And some companies reeeeally exagerate it....

Matthias 😉
 
Oh? The Impact M3 compact is 25 inches long and the Wildcat MK3 Compact is 27 inches long vs the Panty is 30 inches. So what's new here?
I'm a lefty. Most bullpups mags hit me squarely in the cheeck when I shoulder one. The Panthera Compact solves this problem for me.
I haven't ordered one yet, but the urge is growing.

By the way, for those of you that have ordered the .25, how loud is it without a moderator?

That is nice and all.
BUT ! what i would really like to see is a new valve that are NOT working against the regulated pressure, so once set it will open as much and for as long as it do no matter if the pressure are 80 bar or 180 bar.

TBH the current way of things where you have to find the sweet spot between pressure and hammer, well i for one feel in make setting up rifle, much more complicated than it need to be.
Hammer should NOT be related to pressure like it is now, hammer should only be related to time, as in time the valve are open.

This i assume would also mean that you do NOT need XX different hammer weights and maybe springs to cover all the calibers, CUZ you could use the same on all calibers.


PS. As my idea to have reservoir around barrel FX are welcome to steal this idea too.
Not least since i have been contemplating such a valve, and so far my grey goo have forsaken me.
 
Gotta love it when "Papa Jon" from FX chimes in.
You guys at least ensured that his folding stock adapter had screws and a plug for the air port.
Not so much for the ones that shipped out.
I'm still sitting with an adapter I cannot use. Been 2 weeks since I contacted FX USA and still waiting.

Thanks for the response!

The FX Panthera leapt airgun innovation forward with its patented over the barrel plenum and high-power / short-impulse valve design. Though the original Panthera is a purpose-built competition slug rifle, shooters have desired to use this exciting new airgun technology in different ways as well. Introducing the new FX Panthera Hunter Compact. A compact pellet shooter that can be configured in multiple ways to be tailored to your style of shooting.


The Panthera Hunter Compact is available in calibers .177 thru .30 using a shortened FX Smooth Twist X Superior barrel (300mm barrel in .177 & .22 cal / 380mm in .25 cal / 395mm in .30 cal). The two smaller calibers use the 62cc Macro Plenum while the .25 & .30 cal barrels utilize a new 100cc Macro XL Plenum. The Hunter Compact comes with a 300cc carbon fiber bottle located in the front of the rifle to give great balance when shooting the rifle off-hand. It comes with a standard AR grip, full picatinny top rail with 20 MOA built in, and a rear stock with adjustable length of pull and adjustable cheek piece as standard.


Shooters can further tailor their rifle with accessories such as the FX Dynamic DoubleAir Adapter Kit which can add the addition of a 300cc carbon fiber bottle to the rear stock allowing a higher shot count. Users can even move the existing 300cc bottle to the back and place a 480cc or 580cc bottle at the front for a massive amount of air!


Additional accessories are also being released to tailor fit your rifle including the Dynamic Compact Length Arca Rail (can be added when configured with the bottle in the rear) and the FX Dynamic Side Accessory Pic Rail. Also being released is the new FX Dynamic AR Folding Stock adapter. This allows a standard AR buffer tube and butt stock to be affixed to the rifle, reducing the overall length of the rifle when folded to just 20” in length!


The FX Panthera Hunter Compact is a great option for those who plan on shooting pellets or lighter slugs and under 100 yards and prefer a small, compact package. The FX Panthera Hunter Compact is currently either in stock or shipping to all FX dealers.
