FX Fx Panthera Hunter Compact .22 at 100yards?

[ladbence]

Hello guys!

Today I set my FX Maverick Sniper .22 to shoot JSB 18grains at 890. There were no wind and I could get inch groups at a 100 meters, and I could shoot coke cans at a 160 meters.
I planning to buy a compact rifle to shoot these pellets and the HN baracudas at 100 yards or even more.

I'm looking at the Panthera Compact in .22, FX's page says that it can shoot 21 grains at 930fps so it has the power for that.
I wonder if the barrel lenght (300mm) would affect accuracy, if I know right it only affects the velocity.

I appreciate any thoughts.
Thanks!

My Panthera Compact in .25 "now" is very, very accurate.

A good barrel is accurate, length only changes power and harmonics.

According to ted the Compact panthera shoot just about anything best at 900 FPS

The barrel harmonics does not affect accuracy?

Barrel length doesn't effect the barrel accuracy it's an old wise tail

I saw this video, but he said that he couldn't try it at a 100yards only at 50, but it is a very interesting video that this gun can shoot slugs.
I'm curious about longer distances.

Thanks for your reply! I think I'm going to get one.
(This picture just come in my mind if this could shoot well I hope there will be no problem with the panthera.)

Indeed and no video up on 100 yards even if it have been quite a while, you could maybe try to hit up Ted somewhere and ask how 100 yards shooting went down.
He seem to be on that instagram thing too, but i can not do there as i only do Youtube for social media.

My 530 mm Vulcan 3 can sort of do the same as my 700 mm Maverick can do, though not quite as good, at least not with the settings i have tried so far ( the Vulcan 3 not really being a tweaker rifle )
But 50 M i can not tell the 2 apart in performance.

Still shooting 13 gr slugs at 86 Meters / 92 yards, i would for sure not want to be behind a thin tree down there that let my nose poke out, CUZ it would soon be missing parts of it then, my shots with the V3 are generally all on a 2" shoot and see paper, just not grouping like the Maverick can do

Mine is NOT accurate with slugs.

Yes, that is a good idea but I don't want to bother him with my questions. There are many people on this site maybe someone has results at longer distances.

It was .22 before?

Nop..... It took some time to shoot as well as it shoots now.

Now is indeed accurate at long distance.

I am shooting at 88 yards and bullseye are easy to get.... After the third shot of period of inactivity...first shot hits an inch low, second half inch low third a bit... But after that, super accurate.

Shorter barrel does affect accuracy, even with the same twist rate barrel. With lots of indoor testing a longer barrel is more accurate 700mm and 800mm . But under 100y to me a short barrel is accurate enough.

There is a big difference in accuracy betwen a 300mm and a 700mm barrel? If the small barrel can shoot moa at a 100hundred I'm okay with it.

Are those weights under the rail?
