Element could not (or chose not to) fix the scope and send a new one to the dealer. It took them a few months too. :oops:

If it is a new airgun, let the dealer of FX sort it out. You can unscrew your shroud but that is not a solution. And loosening the barrel barrel assembly to move it forward also sounds like a weird one as it would mess up how the chamber end fits. To give you a ruff idea: the barrel assembly...

It is a compact M3 in .30 cal. My sniper has a tapered shroud.

There should be more room between the shroud and that knob. This is what mine looks like.

In my country, the hierarchy for warranty claims is very strict. I as a consumer have to contact my dealer, who contacts the distributor, who in turn contact the manufacturer. That's the European Union in full force.

That is exactly what we are going to find out now. I have contacted the shop where I bought the scope and am now waiting on a reply from them.

The knob itself is fine. The ring underneath is loose.

This afternoon one of my Element Optics Titan scopes failed on me. While shooting some targets at 25m, part of the windage turret came loose. To be more specific: the ring containing the hash marks came undone and now spins freely. If this would have happened in competition, I would have no zero...

The Dynamic and the Panthera are powerfull pcp's and can compete in some rimfire competitions. But in my opinion, you will have to push them very hard to get them at the same power as a .22lr if you compare a .22 airgun with a .22lr. If you go bigger in caliber, you can eclipse the .22lr. Bear...

If I understand your post correctly, you bought an FX Panthera pcp and a spare FX DRS mini magazine. While they are very similar they are not the same, nor interchangeable. To be more specific: the magazine body itself is the same size but the cover is thicker for the Panthera/King/Dynamic line...

My Panthera 500 in .25 has the same pellet jamming issue with lighter pellets/slugs. They're too short for the deep magazines. If FX would sell these magazine without the slot in the cover, they would be better suited for light projectiles.

It depends on what you're planning to do with it. In my case, I wouldn't want to trade my M3 for an M4 because I benefit from the two regs. My M3 is a 700mm .22 with the second reg just over 70 bar, tuned to shoot 18gr pellets. With the M4 I would lose the first reg so the only reg in that gun...

JSB used to produce high quality pellets. These days, it's luck of the draw to get a good tin. I hope more competition nudges JSB back on course to produce pellets like 10/15 years ago. H&N pellets like the 18gr Baracuda's performed pretty decently out of my M3 last year, maybe I should take...

I converted my Maverick .25 back to its pellet configuration today. It was set up for slugs with the slug power kit and heavy liner, but I only had moderate success shooting slugs. So from now on it will be shooting the 34gr FX pellets, just as its brother the Panthera. At 50m these pellets beat...

Did you consider using 'reach forward rings'? The bit of extra room they offer can be all it takes.

From what I remember from owning that model of airgun, it wasn't particularly accurate. Most likely because of the very heavy and gritty trigger mine had, in combination with the low quality bundled scope. Because of the lack of power you're shooting that 34gr pellet at quite the arc. Combine...

I was starting to think those JTS pellets in anything else than 18gr were vaporware. The 18gr ones are available in Europe but I haven't seen any other grain weights. I'm also curious to see what they can do at 50m. JSB MRD's are erratic at best these days. Shooting a 10-shot group, 8 will fly...

My Impact sniper also had two o-rings on the liner and my Panthera 500 only one, while it should've been three and two o-rings. Indeed very strange for what should be the higher echelon of airguns.

My Maverick VP only had two o-rings around the liner. Looked for a third one inside the shroud but I couldn't it.

I polished the contact surfaces of the AMP reg in my Panthera and it helped the reg settling down. Before it would creep 10+ bar overnight. In my opinion it shouldn't be necessary to do such 'finishing jobs' yourself. The gun costs enough to have it finished from the factory.
