  • Question
Best version of the FX Panthera for hunting.

I am thinking of the Panthera 500 for next summer and getting it as a hunting gun. I know this is a PRS rifle but I feel like the Panthera 500 would be a great gun for hunting to ranges to 150 yards or even more. Do you think the Panthera 500 would be the best for hunting between the three models or a different gun all together?

  • Question
Scope choice

I am thinking of a scope for a new air rifle next summer. I have read about the Element Helix 6-24x50 ffp. My budget is $500-600 but I am willing to go up to $800. Also don't keep it to the usual brands. Give out some other brands than Hawke or Element. The range of shooting is from 10 yards all the way to 125-150 yards. This is a hunting gun. I am thinking of a zoom range of 4-16 to 6-24 or even obscure ranges like 4.5-27 or 3-18 zoom. Also I want an MOA scope. I have never shot with MRAD scopes. I want it less than 2.5 pounds. A 30mm tube with a 50mm objective lens. The gun this is going on is either a FX Panthera 500 or a Brocock Ghost HP. What are you suggestions? I would like to hear your ideas.

Do aesthetics affect your buying?

To qualify, do you buy purely for form and practicality be damned? Or are your gun buys purely a matter of function and who cares if it looks like a hot mess? I assume most of us somewhere in between.

I ask specifically because I have been flirting with an AirForce Talon/Escape for awhile. It checks numerous boxes for me. Light, simple, inexpensive, POWERFUL! It should be a no brainer. I just simply can’t get over the “frumpy” looks. It doesn’t look bad by any means but as they say eye of the beholder and all. I just can’t seem to convince myself into it and it boils down to not looking attractive to me.

So convince me I am crazy, or do you all have the same hangups?

FX Impact velocity drop

So a friend handed my Impact back to me. I asked if it was cocked and he said no so I cocked it and fired it. Nothing came out as it was plugged with 2 NSA 28.5 grain slugs. Bent slightly the probe. Pulled the barrel and replaced the liner and installed the original probe good so far. Upon resuming shooting over the crono I was now getting about 200 fps less velocity 960 down to 760. Tried a few things, now at 805 and that's it. Any one experience similar situation?

Thanks!

  • Question
Any other guns tunable as or a little less than FX airguns

I have been asking these questions because I want to buy a air rifle next summer for hunting. I live in Idaho so plenty of small game. My main targets would be nothing a whole lot bigger than a raccoon. The quarry will mostly be pest birds, grouse, squrriels, and rabbits. My budget is $1500 for the gun but I will go up to $2000 if necessary. Although that is for the gun and upgrades. Any good alternatives to FX guns for tuning, accuracy, power, quietness, lightness, and good shot counts. The range I am going to be shooting is 20-100 yards with a couple in the 125 yard range. The two calibers I am looking at are .22 and .25. the power range is 14-16 fpe all the way to 55-65+ fpe. That high for the .25. More of 45-55 fpe for .22. Also a scope suggestion would be good as well. I mostly shoot with MOA scopes and I want it to have a clean reticle. My scope budget is $500 dollars but if I get the gun for less I am putting a bit more into the scope. The compressor I picked out is the one on Mountain Sport Airguns. The detachable lithium ion batteries.

What is some of the best hunting ammo?

This poll is to ask a very hard question to answer. What are some of the best hunting pellets and slugs for airgunning? The best short range pellet, the best mid-range pellet, and the best long range pellet. Also the best slug for medium rang and the best long range slug. Then the best pellet for all the ranges. Short through long range. For this poll all pellets and slugs will be in .25 caliber. The gun would be a Uragan 2 just for the example. The Target animal species will be birds. Pigeons and bigger. All the way up to grouse or a similar sized bird. Lastly no 100% answer for this question.

Cocking trouble with my new Benjamin Akela

Hello. I'm new here. Anyway...

I have a Benjamin Akela. Everything was working until the forward motion of the bolt got stiff. Eventually, I had to put an uncomfortable amount of force to fully lock the bolt in place. My first thought was that there was a problem with the breech o-ring, so I carefully removed the barrel and took a look. The o-ring was secured in place. With the barrel still removed, I watched some videos, and it looks like I can easily access the cocking mechanism by removing a few screws. However, I'm not sure I want to dig in there. What's the best course of action? It's still in warranty, although I'd rather avoid the wait when sending it in.

Thanks.

Sideshot scope camera clamp sizes (width)

Does anyone know what the width is on the 30 mm scope clamp for the Side-Shot Phone Mount?

I have a UTG 3-12x44 compact scope (SCP3-UM312AOIEW) mounted onto a Daystate Huntsman Regal XL, attached with a 21mm wide dovetail ring. There are 2-3 mm between the ring and the turrets to allow space for adjustments, and only 11-13mm to attach the clamp.

The OrionCam scope camera clamps are slightly too wide at 15 mm, and EagleVision will not work with this scope. If you have any suggestions to get a side view camera onto this scope I'm all ears! Thank you!

FX CROWN MK2 NORDIC WOLF .25 CAL - WHAT ARE USERS OPINIONS??

Hi everyone.

I have owned a .25 Daystate Redwolf for the last few years and have put it to good use with all types of pellets and slugs and also installed a Helliboard which opened up a whole new dimension of tuning but the time has come to trade this lovely rifle in for a younger model which, after some deliberation, i think i have decided on a .25 FX crown Mk 2 with a GRS Nordic wolf stock. can anyone tell me what there experiences are like with the crown Mk 2? after owning a M3 for the last year i can definitely say that the FX bug has firmly bitten me and although the crown platform doesn't have the complete tun-ability of the impact, i still would like to know what other shooters who have had one a while ( especially .25)think of there crowns. what is the rifles out of the box accuracy like? what is it like with slugs? i am thinking i might get it with the 600mm barrel to keep the length down...
