no I didn't start anything but when someone trashes something that they've probably never laid a finger on and for no other reason than just to do it than I'm not going to sit by like a good little dog and let someone trash something that I have thousands of dollars invested into

Dude, they’re pellets guns and meaningless. Direct your energy into helping others, not arguing with them about stuff in your toy box.

I like the austere look of the Panthera negra… Nothing wrong at all with purpose built guns. If some want to hunt with theirs? A win, win for FX.

Agree, and for my type of hunting is just about a perfect rig.

I’d say it’s a pretty hard conclusion to draw about a product that isn’t even shipping yet.

I think that the Panther is an awesome airgun but for what I personally like to do I'll wait till they come out with one that has a much larger air capacity

Was that in response to my post above ?

No I was referring to the negativity and the video. I can say I think it’s utterly fugly is about all that I can conclude. I don’t get all the other negativity people have. How do they even know?

No problem. It’s an fx so I’m sure it’s very functional and purposeful. I’m just an ole traditionalist. Lol

Yeah far from an FX fan here, actually would never even consider buying any of the current products until now,....I just think the Panthera would be a superb hunter for my applications.

Over-hyped ? Wake up. Look around. Listen. Pay attention. Analyze. EVERYTHING is over-hyped.....whether it's a toaster, Vitamin B1, cars, shoes or whatever. Fake testimonials, paid reviewers and outright lies. We are all suckers to MARKETING

(BTW, mine in 22/800 mm should be coming in 6 weeks or so)

If you watch Ted's 300 yd video carefully, you can tell right at the beginning that he just finished getting the dope to the right of the Coke cans on a test target and then tried to quickly acquire and shoot the cans in rapid succession before conditions changed. What we don't see is all the trial and error (misses) getting windage and elevation set just right for that very moment in the conditions.

If people buy this air rifle based on the sensationalism of this video, thinking that they are going to be able to whack stuff regularly at 300 yards easily, then yes they will be disappointed. Certainly it will do much better at shorter ranges, depending on conditions.

Just like any long range shooting, if you have a competent spotter and shooter who can read the hits and compensate for the POI in one instant of time, then such hits are possible but it does take work that wasn't shown in the video.

Actually for hunting in heavy brush/wooder area ( and that is what I do ) I take the Panthera over the Impact anyday,...anyday

Spent plenty of time hunting thick brush fro rabbits with a 27inch barreled shotgun and never once thought, Gee could have killed more if my gun was 3-5 inches shorter. People put way too much importance on how long a gun is. I’ll always pick accuracy before considering gun length

But But It is so dam ugly I do not care how good it shoots and for that reason I would NEVER buy one

Absolutely agree with you, nowadays the bullpup craze is all in and people think it's the only rifle that are worth hunting with.

..........And weigth !

I take a 7 pound 40" rifle rather then a 8.5 pounds 33" Pup,.......anyday

Disappointed with the hunting vids that come out w Panthera... Next to fact that shooting at 2-300 yards is nothing new (more impressed w the Russian shooting a V3 at 900yds tbh) those long range hunting vids are completely unethical pumping 2-3 shots into the animal before it goes down. Hope not too many take inspiration from that. But reading the comments on the tube proves the opposite. Sad.

Weight definitely impacts my ability to hold on target off hand.

Wait… is it offered in 800mm?

It comes with a set of wheels mounted near the muzzle and when you transport it in your truck you have to tie a red flag to it.

I think that's just bad shots. I can smack a prairie dog at 200y with my .25 impact and she done.

Lot of the panthera hunting videos I seen, it doesn't seem like they have sat down and tuned the gun, figured their ballistics, got their dope dialed, and THEN went hunting.

Regardless.. ethical hunting is always a huge debate.
