New to the group and airguns/first purchase.

Awesome choices but I think I may have mentioned previously you have great taste but seem to go directly for the Rolls Royce without going through the growth process. I had the m3 and sold it to get the Maverick. Lighter easier to adjust and super accurate. Much easier to have fun with. Unless you plan on becoming a bench rest only shooter the Red Panda is a dead accurate but heavy beast of a gun. I spent some time shooting it at the pellet shop and it weighs approximately 17lbs naked. I really wish you the very best with the new gun but I also hope you have not bitten off more Etc. please don’t take anything I’ve said negatively I absolutely wish you the very best experience and hope the complexity of it does not discourage you from loving the sport. I just came baback from the range a few hours ago and took six of my guns with me range. From my Benjamin Kratos a few AEA’s my fx and two Huben. Ended up having the most fun with my cheapest (Kratos) and my Huben K1. Pulled them out loaded and shot. No muss no fuss. If you’re going to have the m4 as you’re main gun I would suggest getting a 2nd accurate high quality easy to tune rifle as a companion. Again good luck and happy target shooting.

I started like you said with a Rolls Royce and once I learn to shoot it I will step up to a Baggutti!

Beer cans, bottles, propane tanks anything that goes boom!!! What paper targets should I get for 100 yd?
Welcome aboard,

Your .30 cal is to accurate for big targets like can and bottles. You'll need something smaller. Like a bucket of shot shell hulls. Lay them down and shoot the primers.

Any updates on the Red Panda? Appears that Karma was presented with a cease and desist order and the Red Pandas have been removed from some websites that had them listed. Not clear how this will affect in progress orders.
I changed my order and bought a FX Impact M4 sniper. Tonight I started filling my 9L tank. I am still waiting on a Saber Tactical adjustable buttstock and the DonnyFL Emporer moderator. Also need to get a chronograph.
