I have looked at maybe every air rifle I could possibly obtain and I think I’ve decided on a Karma Red Panda. Unless someone wants to talk me out of it, lol. After I seen the price I’m not sure I would be to upset. Seriously though just looking for any pertinent info on this air rifle. This will be my second pcp, first one was an AEA Megalodon. It’s 50 caliber. I want something high quality and 25 or 30 caliber, probably 30. I prefer not to deal with junk so I’m going to break the bank if I have to buying this one whatever it ends up being.
Karma Karma Red Panda
- Thread starter Panzerfaust
- Start date
I just ordered the EQ. I hope they’re good rifles for what I have seen the right panda it’s a very nice rifle if you compete or just like long range shooting the red panda it’s a little bit out of my budget, but if you’d like to shoot, long distance, I think You’ll actually end up saving money I used to shoot power burners, insure gets expensive and time consuming to be reloading competition ammo

Yeah, I was seriously interested in that AEA mcar, I only shoot against myself , no competition for me , the mcar seemed like a platform that was really meant for 7000psi upgrade rather than a 310 bar platform. I like to bench shoot to pass the time sometimes. Otherwise I need to be able to pull it out and make it reliably hit what I aim at up to a reasonable distance which kind of depends on conditions. Everybody told me not to get that Megalodon as my first pcp, start cheaper and smaller in case you end up not liking it. I ignored all the good advice and bought one anyway. Smaller caliber 310 bar platforms aren’t easy to chose from though. I know that Red Panda is high priced and it’s going to sting I won’t lie. The meg did cause I had to have everything , compressor and all and I had to go through 3 of those before I got something dependable to fill a carbon fiber tank. So I don’t need air this time just a rifle and some ammo. I regret zero about getting the Meg, it is a beast. I’m going to look over all the karma models again though. I got stuck on that Red Panda and went over the rest quickly really.

I think it will be good quality, the EQ, all their stuff looks to be well made. Most all I’ve seen about the brand so far has been good. The waiting just sux though,no matter how fast the shipping is , at least for me it does. I hope it arrives asap. Happy shooting

Thank you yeah that’s what I’m hoping but I guess when you get a new Gun just came out of the market. Some patient is required.

I have looked at every review I could find on the Karma SLS, the EQ, and the red panda. I missed an important detail about the red panda , you have to choose a barrel optimized for slugs OR pellets. That’s going to be my deal breaker on it. Since I don’t care anything about having semi auto capabilities I think I’m jumping on your EQ wagon.
That EQ looks like it’s a good rifle. In a review where a guy was actually hunting with an EQ and a SLS commented that the EQ was built like a tank and he was more impressed with it over the SLS where it came to a few things. I would be very interested in your impressions of your once you have time to form an opinion of it. I certainly won’t complain about the cost especially compared to the red panda. Ok, if you already received it I hope you’re loving it! I will probably place an order for an EQ tomorrow. Happy shooting!Upvote 0
I like it so far mine doesn’t have the trigger adjustment key on it yet. It shoots pretty good. I’m sure 33 grand pallets at 930 ft./s with the factory reset regulator 2000 psi HS at zero port at max speed when I have some time, I would do some more shooting with some 40 gr slogs and I’ll let you guys know how it went.

I think you need to recheck that…
The barrel is the same, they just change the tune depending on whether you order for pellets or slugs.
