The only problem I see with the bottle location is that there is not much room if you wanted more air capacity.

Let’s not look into this too far, and make this gun what it isn’t.
This was obviously purpose built for the prs guys out there. Will it be used for other things like hunting? Of course, but it’s not built for that purpose. Call me an FX fanboy if you won’t, however, I won’t be owning one of these, purely because I hunt. I don’t shoot prs, or plan on it in the near future. We wi be seeing a lot more of this from manufacturers moving forward. Purpose built rugs, for certain jobs.
I say well done FX for listening to your customer base, and buidling something a lot of guys have wanted for quite some time.

The smart ass in me would say looks just like an EDGun Leshiy 2. But although this was done similarly by fanboys when the Delta Wolf came out, I won’t since it’s obviously form and function that just happens to have a similar look…

Spot on! PRS (Presicion Rifle Shooting) is a hot new competition. It was popular at RMAC, and will only get more popular as more people learn about it.
Is it for everyone? No! Is it fun? Yes!
The PANTHERA is designed for a specific discipline of shooting. If they would watch our videos on it, they'd understand this is a BEAST, but for a particular type of competition that only requires a specific number of shots, and prefer the bottle in the back, as it would be damaged if it was in the front.

Defently an important step in the good direction in order to gain a long distance hunting rifle.
I am of the idea that we need more shots per fill and a. 30 Cal that can be used to hunt middle size game at 200-250 yards.
There is no need to make it look so horrible.

If you want to get in the weeds about it being a “new gun” I would say the only new gun in the industry for the past 5 years was the leshiy 2. All manufactures just hobble together bits of their current models to create a “new one”. Novel ideas are far and few between.This is gooooooood lol ,
It seems as if they went back to single regulator which does actually look like a plus,
really just a reshaped mk2 with a new amp reg mixed with an edgun and a prophet?
Edit: I can see this all making tons of sense for PRS , I just think theres going to be some imaginary dreaming going on of hunting animals at 300 yards now but to each their own

The FX Impact is such a phenomenon and has permanently pushed forward the boundaries of what to expect from an air rifle.fxairguns.com

It only looks "horrible" if it doesn't match your category of use lol. to the PRS world, this is beautiful lol . anyway, I am curious how many shots do you need to hunt with on the 30?

I love this, lol let's build something for a specific market doing a specific thing but
Let's advertise 90 shots with A but advertise FPE with B

Notwithbstanding during a hunt you do not normally shot a lot, it always give confidence that, if you want, you can shot to a target without being worried of running out of air.
40 shots per fill and up shots per fill is good.
70 shots per fill as the Vulcan 3 700 in. 30 Cal gives, is perfect.

its something to discuss on a rainy day, all ive seen is this so might as well keep it going

Possibly the ugliest gun ever created. I get it PRS purpose driven but luckily something I will never do so I don’t have to accept the look. Pretty sure the impact is plenty good enough and aesthetically tolerable.

I worry about all of them, not hating on FX or this particular gun, and as i said i shoot at the bench connected to a huge bottle and .177 so really not a issue.
I would never go hunting, but i might go pesting but even here 90 shots or whatever should do just fine i would say.
If not after shooting 90 rats i think a break are in order, so can do that while refilling.
