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?

Never said agm did not provide a quality product in fact I mentioned the ts25-384, the ts19 for any type of farm pesting where up close shots will commonly occur you will lose sight of the target. It will no longer be in the picture

price point is the determining factor in my answer. IMO, when someone states a price point, I stick to it and provide options for it only. Now, would I purchase it, nope. However, my disposable income for that particular project might be higher than 800. it all deapends on what someone is willing to spend.

Right so to give him something that won't work in his scenario for other reasons is silly. This is how people end up making 2 purchases for the same goal. Thats all I am saying.

sure they make good entry level scopes as well. just so u know 800 and lower is in that bracket. there's nothing wrong with that but do not make the assumption that you are going to get a 800 dollar scope and it's going to be the same as a 1500 or as 2000 dollar scope. it's isn't gonna happen.

I'd never suggest crap. however all my thermals are well over 6500+ and would never suggest that to someone that asking to stay around 800. I'm done with this and feel I do not need to explain myself further. it's nonsense.

Completely missing the point , regardless of price to suggest something that will not work in all of his given applications might cause him to purchase twice. Idc how much your thermals cost, I am happy for you and that you are able to enjoy such things, truly. Nobody is saying the ts19-256 is not a good , quality piece of equipment for the money. Its specs just will not work for his application, thats the point. GG.

Come on please stop. Everyone has different opinions and ideals. And no. I am not directing this to anyone in particular. So please don't leave in pride. Don't be like me yesterday.

This is not a high grade match setup. It is going to be a low-mid priced point hunting rig.

The issue is judging the wind.
I’ve got two guns that are pretty capable at 150-200y if I can shoot a couple “tester shots”
But putting down a one off kill shot at those ranges is rare…unless u have no wind. And even then u have spin drift.

The raw weighs 7.85 pounds w/ THAT scope a little over 9.5 pounds.
Theres been enough suggestions here, you should be able to pick something out by now
Good luck

Well....
They push what they have more than give straight facts. I think they deleted many comments I made to them about thermals, as many of the AGM offerings are just the same thermal guts as many others in a different housing. I don't think they liked that!

I'm totally befuddled as to why you need a moderator seeing as you stated you shoot all over the place with PB's.
