Not the same knockoff.
Mine has the same lettering
QD is much more similar, no lettering on the knockoff, but function is the same down to the locking lever.

Only real identifying difference is the machined vs stamped index cam.

I scraped on the legs, appear to be anodized, I got a small scratch but it took effort.

Tried to add this with my last post but would not load. Here it is !

Years ago I owned a limited-run "military" edition of the DIana model 50 T01 underlever. The finish was a very durable matt dark grey; it appeared to be "Parkerizing" as often seen on actual service rifles. This is a zinc-based electrolytic process - same basic idea as galvanizing but much thicker and denser - and may be what was on the model 34B.

I have been wanting to improve my offhand shooting so went out to do a little practice and when I started to hang a 10M airrifle target noticed some what looked like trash in my trap. I started to pull it out and there were a couple of little light rose colored bird eggs, so I tried to ease things back. I'll leave it alone for a week or so and see if we have any baby target birds, not that I will shoot at them.

That's really cool. Hopefully they have a successful brood.

Thanks guys, just ordered a CARM single shot loader.

Thanks, Good to know.

Wow that is a work of art

You are right. Thanx.

I gently cleaned it but decided to give it a go without steel wool pretreatment.

There are two threads on the UK forum. Mostly speculation, I think only one or two members have received or looked through one.

Yeah, I had serious health issues. Friend had to sign a DNR before they would pull the tube to see if I'd survive. Sort of changes perspective on life.

So, did you? Survive, I mean (Glad you're back again). Health scares have a tendency to give us a bit more gratitude, bit less attitude. Stay safe & shoot straight brother!

I wish someone made these hybrid style slugs in more than one weight per caliber. I’ve been really curious to try them but 26gr is just seems a little too light for my 250z. I’m shooting 30gr slugs at 950fps rn.

Just tried the 11% off deal. It is miscalculated in the cart. It calculates as 1.1% instead.

Tried customer service. Live human is in the chatroom but can't get anything done until Tuesday...after the sale is over.

Nice review as always.

Not from a prod but I have used them and they fly great in the 840fps from old brocok and at 950fps condor barrel in a almost no wind 80y is not a problem. So for 30y they should work flawless if your barrel likes them.. I really don't buy them because of the price ..

You’ll be on them. I don’t see nearly as many on cold days like were are having in the northeast right now. Could be the reason.

Looking for opinions on rifles. I currently own springer rifles and want to explore the world of PCP. I have a main focus on accuracy @100yrds. I plan on using this rifle for small game and birds but would like to be able to have a 30cal. for bobcats and possibly a yote if I feel like a challenge. The ability to shoot heavier pellets and or slugs would be great. (Both even better) Cost range I have seen options from 500 up to 4k and everywhere in between my budget is up to 2k but would like to be up and running for that cost. I already have glass but would need everything else. I have an option to buy an impact mk1 in .25 for $1650 but figured by the time I upgraded I would be back at just buying an m4. I've looked at the classifieds on here but can message anyone yet so figured let's go ahead and let the cat out the bag in a post. Some of the rifles I have looked at are below, but I am open to opinions of others because I don't think all of these are capable of shooting .30

FX Impact mk1-m4?
FX Maveric
FX King
Hatsun Factor Bullpup
Hatzun Blitz
Umarex Zelos
LCS ?
Western ?

Give me a hand and let me know. If it costs me a few hundred more to get what I want I would rather do it right the first time. I also need an entry level pump and some projectiles.

If your main goal is accuracy @ 100 yards with a .30 cal pcp airgun then don’t look any further, buy one of this Kalibrgun cricket 2 tactical .60 from this guy Derrick Wall, he sell them already tuned. In few weeks I am going to purchase one of them from him, all these European made airguns are build like a tank. The name of his company is Tenacious Airguns. PS I strongly recommend to stay away from the FX impacts unless you are very handy with airguns and like to wrench on them very often. Don’t believe in all the hype its only marketing…

If I were you I will buy it tuned to shot with the JSB 50’ instead of the heavier Zans 56 grains pellets unless you’re planning to compete in a national EBR tournament in windy conditions. In my opinion with the “lighters” JSB pellets this airguns should be even more accurate because they are tuned to perform with less stress = less armonic distortion…. Also as a bonus they have great autonomy around 60 shots per fill in .30 cal and are extremely quiet as well. Just for comparison purposes the more expensive BRK Ghost that comes with a 480cc carbon fiber air bottle only give you 20 shots per fill in .30 cal, while the cricket that comes with just a slightly bigger 500cc carbon fiber air bottle give you three times more shots per fill because its much more efficient as well.

https://www.airgunnation.com/threads/30-cricket-2-tac-legendary.1297771/

This review was done with this same airgun but in the smaller .22 cal. In fact, I had one but sold it to buy another in the bigger .30 cal since I have 4 more pcp airguns 2 in .22 cal and two more in .25 cal already.

Thanks- That worked.

Thank you. Learned something. Appreciate it.

Of course bro. I’m more than happy to share. I’m definitely not an expert but I do love to research

That is one tempting offer!

I saw the .22 long just a second after it was posted, awesome deal ... the child in me almost ms I take it .. bu the grown up talk me out of it .. there is a point where you need to say to your self I don't needed. I don't need another bag laying around with almost another 2k between the gun n accessories.. is simply nuts .. so maybe there is a few other having a hard time adding another bag to the collection. Not because the lack of funds , is because it doesn't make any sence .. I had enough I will simply enjoy n master what I already have fot the next few years.

@PowderBurnt you beat me to it.

Well after chatting with Johan at FX who has been absolutely superb, they kindly sent me a “dynamic” repair kit for the Panthera (o-rings, valve seat and valve pin) and fitting the seat and pin seems to have resolved it (will check again tomorrow)

Both the seat and the pin were much tighter on fitting than the old ones were, stupidly I didn’t measure / photograph them, but I can note

1- the valve seat was different from the existing one, the indexing “nubbin” on the back was much more pronounced, but I’m really not sure it actually indexes against anything in the Panthera block.

2- looked like new material on the valve gasket, tan in colour and seemed marginally larger than the old one
