Finally get to post here! Panthera .30, 235 yards.

I got this panthera earlier this year, had been plinking at 50 and 100 yards.
Last weekend I mowed out a spot on the next hill behind us, and lasered it to 235 yards.
I tried my drs pro .22 first, and only got 3 shots out of 24 on the steel. These are the lighter spots.
Today, in the calm hours of the morning, I brought out the panthera .30 (700mm) with a TNC225R, lasered the distance, and proceeded to put 3 out of 4 shots on steel, with two of those touching! These are the darker spots. I was really pleased with how easy it was to get on target at 235 yards with the digital scope. Shooting 62.5gr VK slugs at 950fps or so. 145bar pressure. I think my first shot fell about 3 feet short, and it was the first shot. Possible stiction on the fx regulator. I am still ecstatic with these results.
I think I am definitely ready to hit some coyote at just about any range I will see them at here!

nice shooting
 
How do you like the panthera vs drs?
panthera is a heck of a lot easier to tune, with the knobs on the side!
I just got the drs in a new stock - as much as i like the minimal panthera stock, i didn't like any of the "pro elite" stocks i tried for the drs. So its in a beautiful FORM stock now, awaiting some shooting time.
