FXs response to not coming in first or second at RMAC with the Panthera, market it to hunters instead! 
And no I'm not being serious but is funny that it happened right after

The FX Dynamic.....
- Thread starter Dairyboy
- Start date
FX has been very narrow in their visions as of late, imo...
The 'Karma red panda' I think gave them a taste of some medicine. I welcome all the new competition.

What are the differences between the Dynamic and the Panthera? It looks like the Dynamic is able to directly accept a full size bottle at the rear instead of the underhung smaller bottle of the Panthera but are there any significant differences? Seems to have the same barrel setup. Different valving, regulators etc.?

That's the difference. The bottle setup like Airforce instead of L2, and the grip. Nothing else noticeable. Power wise and everything else seem the same on there stats on them

I'm guessing the new valve will make its way into the impact platform as the new power power block.

They will not forsake the impact platform I think think.....I hope! LOL!
The interesting part is FX seems to be discontinuing some guns already! There is no walnut/laminate Crowns, Utah air is putting some dreamlines on sale. Will be very interesting to see what will FX introduce next few months. I'm keeping my dreamline compact, crown and impact regardless though. Might get a Dynamic 700mm for long range when they have all the options available, very happy I backed out of Panthera at introduction because it's not 100% what I was looking for.

I'm curious what the Dynamic does for you that the Panthera doesn't? I'm being genuine here as all I see is the rear bottle as the difference...not calling you out as I'm curious. As a hunter/pester I'd still choose the Panthera probably over the Dynamic as I'm not a fan of the actual bottle being the butt stock.

Just the placement and size of the bottle, I want a front bottle with rail underneath and foldable stock like the ST Crown so the the case doesn't have to be 5 feet long.

I can understand that for sure! The hunter is the version I like. I prefer shortys. Did they have a version with front bottle and rail? I think I missed that one. Would be nice.

AFAIK They do not have a version with front bottle with rail under long or short versions. K&L supposed to have an under bottle rail in development. I’m sure in time ST will have a ST chassis for it.

The Panthera confuses me with all the variations. As you may know, any do-all tool does nothing particularly well. If FX wants to win BR matches, then it needs to produce a dedicated design, but you don’t sell many of them.

The panthera should just be named the panthera, the different versions should just be sold as parts. Or put a "build a panthera option" the names aren't necessary and are clearly a marketing thing.
The panthera is a good platform but it isn't without brand new fx woes although theyre remedying them very quickly. I did really enjoy mine and it handled its task superbly for me at NAC.

Well Gerhard did win the precision marksman challenge using the Panthera and 34 grain H&N slugs...that’s pretty much what the rifle was intended for.FXs response to not coming in first or second at RMAC with the Panthera, market it to hunters instead!

I agree. There was the Hunter and now the Dynamic which seem very similar. It would be cool to see a compact Wildcat-ish version.

Completely agree.
I'm waiting to see the bottle accommodating front rail that K&L are going to release for the Panthera. Supposedly it will accommodate up to 700cc bottles. The Saber Tactical rail only supports the 300cc up front. If that rail works, I'm going to throw the folding AR stock on my 500mm 30cal.
