Yeah I saw multiple of them there as they had different grip colors. I was able to make out the one was .30 on the side of the breech

It's an AEA gun
Edit: not AEA so not sure why it has this on the gun. Karma Airguns Red Panda

I was going to say AEA because one of the guys shirt says it all over so he seems like a rep/sponsored shooter.
Tbh nothing too appealing to me personally, nothing new looking.

Yeah I'm not interested in the gun personally, just something I hadn't seen before and was curious if others knew about it. It looks like it weighs 10lbs+ unscoped.

Karma Airguns Red Panda....product that DonnyFL got his hands in. Apparently a prototype. It's on Donnys Instagram and Karma Airguns Instagram. Very curious what it all is.

Kinda looks like a heavily modified Panthera? or someone making a rifle inspired by the Panthera?

From the Instagram posts, it looks like another offering from saber tactical. They call it the red panda, from karma Airguns. I’m sure it’s a collaboration between them and AEA as saber tactical doesn’t make anything in house. It’s all from China.

I handled the Karma rifles at NAC , they VERY MUCH resemble AEA rifles, its a collaboration between ST , Donny and I believe TPS, I would not doubt if it shares a lot of the same parts/components as AEA , they are shooters though from everything I've been told by competitors at RMAC. Apparently the one Thane was shooting has a bull barrel on it, very rigid, Im not sure if they all will or not, they are just calling them "prototypes" right now.

What I noticed too is it looked like it was a solid bull barrel also, not shrouded or anything. It's gotta be a hefty gun. I'm very curious to learn more about it.

Looks like a dedicated bench rest rig / gun, as you noted very hefty, I am sure a compact version with a lot of weight shaved off would be more appealing to the masses, but no reason the world can't have both!? *WINK WINK*

You are looking at the Karma Airguns RP, or Red Panda.
It’s a .30 caliber, purpose built benchrest airgun. It has a bull barrel, and unscoped it weighs about 17 pounds.
A small number of us on the Saber Tactical team shot prototypes at RMAC. Based on that experience some changes are being made before a final release version is ready.
The rifle is made in China. That may be a topic of discussion for some people. DonnyFL and Saber Tactical have always worked closely with a manufacturers who can deliver according to specifications.
In this case the design of the rifle has been a mix of design elements specified by Thayne Simmons aka the”Red Panda” and some internal designs, processes and hardware developed by the factory.
There will be some modularity in the final release, mostly around swapping air cylinders. One configuration lends itself to bench while another has a shorter front profile suited to PRS.
I’ve been very impressed with the rifle’s performance. I only had one day to mount a scope, tune the rifle and sight in before competition, and one hour on the practice bench before the competition started-and in that hour I had to proof dope on 3 rifles. My scores were 219 and 217, putting me 5th in my heat. I’ll be shooting her again at PAC.
The RMAC podium finishes speak for themselves.
I’ll do my best to answer any questions I can.
