Wouldn’t be surprised if the aftermarket is already on top of it with a beefier design piece, just like in the airmarksman back bone rail for the impacts

First day with Panthera .30 700mm
- Thread starter Blake1521
- Start date
If they would have made it thicker.. everyone would have complained the gun weighed too much lol. Idk. Hasn't proven to be an issue for me yet. Suppose if it did I could add long aluminum m-lok rail covers. But I don't think your eliminating that flex without making it heavy af

That valve design must be very good. I'm at 200 bar on my .30 maverick to make 60-62 grain slugs go over 1000 fps.

In the video is it actually the rail that is moving and not the barrel shroud? I would think the barrel shroud would move before the rail would move.

wow generates alot of power but damn sure looks very weak meaning things flex too much for me , I would of thought by looking they built this one solid like a tank , like the R5ms are

The Arca rail is what is flexing on the rifle. The barrel is stiff to the receiver so you shouldn't see much issue with any POI issues. You will more than likely wear a mark on the shroud/plenum after a while.
The ones up here in ND haven't had any issues with the flex and you know FX has a fix or something in the works. Much like the carbon additions and other things for the M3 that they came out with.

The groups are not great al all.
Are you sure you were dully rested?
The accuracy shown in your groups pictures would make to doubt about all promotional videos of the Panthera..... No way to hit an elephant at 300 yards with that rifle.

Why take off the barrel band ? ......and then expect a long unsupported rail not to flex ?
Looks like going out of the way to create a problem to me.

Not exactly confidence inspiring.
Sure would hate to accidentally bang that on something during a match.

Not sure if you all have seen this but take a look.
Also, the OP even stated this was his first time dealing with slugs. Not being a fan boy just giving additional information, some of which may have been overlooked.

As noted above it is not a barrel band. I got scolded for suggesting FX USA consider using the bridge to incorporate some kind of barrel support. The bridge is purely to mount accessories unfortunately.

Blake1521,
Thank for the real world review. I’m sorry to read your excitement is described as a 5 of 10. Rest assured you’ve got a great gun. As with any new idea there’s a proofing period. Panthera is definitely a new idea to the industry. It truly is a great example of air guns past and future. And this is why I enjoy air guns. There’s so many ground breaking ideas with air guns.
If a person could imagine the day, the first PCP was introduced. I’m sure all the spring and pump air gun shooter said some crazy things. Back in the day, pcp was often referred to as the dark side. Now fast forward, today. The “dark side” is a very normal air gun.
This style of air gun will have a place in air gun world as normal too.

I'm very interested to see the same video from the OP, but with that "bridge" or shroud support or whatever is installed as designed.

Still excited for my Panthera to show up, chose 22cal in 700mm.
Have never been satisfied shooting heavy 30cal slugs with current slug liners in my M3
Had much better results shooting 25 cal slugs in my M2.
With the already proven accuracy of the 22 with 40gr Patriots and ZANs, MOA out to 300 yards, its an easy choice..
