Just purchased my first pcp air rifle. It’s an fx panthera 700 in .30. Very excited to own it, and can’t wait to get proficient with this work of art.

Your first post and welcome. Tell us your plans for the .30. Yots, long distance targets or what ever. You are ready. Can't imagine what your next purchase will be. Enjoy .

my intended purpose with this rifle is target shooting until I have an intimate understanding of the rifle. After that, more target shooting. I’m not really into hunting although I would totally kill foxes and coyotes if they’re harming someone’s chickens or other birds because I just love birds that much.

Nice way to start! You are going to be very busy. It is extremely interesting, cool, and almost unbelievable, to see what airguns can do these days when you first start with them yourself. Of course, watching videos these days has taken away the initial shock, but it's still there a little. Congratulations!

I currently have no way of filling it, but I’m going to purchase a big tank for it soon. I’m currently incredibly wary of all this just due to the fact that all of this revolves around pressurized objects exceeding 4000psi so I’m still doing my research, but I’m completely blown away by the capabilities of air rifles, especially after finding out that Lewis and Clark used them that long ago…I feel like I’m being pranked, but I honestly find all of this unbelievably amazing.

You might consider one of the smaller compressors to directly fill your gun… Lots of information here…

my advice is always the same If your in it for the long haul buy the best you can afford. Clean Dry Air is a necessity for the amount $ you spent on your airgun.

that’s why I’m considering just starting out with a tank because I live right next to Lake Erie, and there’s lots of dive shops in my city. I figure a dive shop has the machines capable of filling a 4500psi tank with clean dry air.

I know a guy down here in FL has a source nearby to get his (several bottles) filled at a reasonable price, I got a deal on an Alkin compressor.

Welcome & congrats on the Panthera. You might want to try Altaros slugs with it. A friend (Centercut) has one in .25 & the 1st time trying it at long range he was hitting a 2" target at 286 yards! I missed by a pellet width! Still "minute of squirrel head". Astonishingly accurate guns. (With the correct projectile)

That’s crazy. I’m looking to buy land in my area sometime next year (WNY) and I hope to get a good deal that will allow me to shoot out to at least 200 yards.

This was my second 5 shot group on his Panthera. 3" gong at 200 yards. Wish I could afford one.
