they’re so similar. Need more info as to your needs, the impact has a higher count magazine, the fx panthera is less expensive. The fx panthera compact is longer than the fx impact compact

Id go with the m3 personally. I have two of them and I’m selling one. Id stay with the fx m3 because it’s easy to change things compared to the panthera. The fx can change barrels easily and doing it on a panthera is a lot more difficult. The customization is also a lot better. I can go from a 500 barrel with a 300cc bottle and throw on a 700mm barrel and move. I haven’t purchased a panthera or dynamic.

When it comes to hunting, bench-rest you can’t beat the m3 the .22 has a 28 round mag. Depending how you have it tuned with a 300cc bottle you can get 70+ shots with a 300cc bottle easily. I have the 700mm sniper with the 580cc bottle shooting 18.1 grain pellets around 900 fps and j get over 160 shots before filling up

No experience with the panthera but if looking for a compact platform I would personally choose the m3. The panthera is a purpose built platform for prs shooting and the compact form of that to me defeats the purpose in a way. If you are going to just bench rest get the long panthera. If you are ever going into the field get the m3. I think you would appreciate the extra shot count in that scenario the m3 offers.

The compact impact is 25 1/2 inches with a 500 mm barrel. The Panthera compact has a 300 mm barrel and is 30.5 inches. You’ll get more shots and more efficiency with a longer barrel.

I have both. For a bench rifle, the Panthera. For a hunting rifle, the Impact with a 600 MM barrel would be my choice. Much easier to handle and super accurate. I would also consider the BRK Ghost.

Panthera is a good value. Chances are you can’t shoot any better than the microscopic difference you might find between guns. Impact is much more customizable and tunable, that said you’ll save money and headaches with the panthera. Like others have said though, the ergonomics of whatever gun you pick very well matter most. Good luck picking, they’re both great guns and capable of amazing accuracy even at 100m.
