Panthera at 160 FPE, easy MOA 100 yards

[revenger]

What’s the advantage to not having a regulator?

Well you would hit a sweet spot where you could make much more power... It would essentially be a bell curve where you have too much pressure and your hammer spring setting isnt enough so it won't be delivering max FPE. Then after a few shots it will start to peak and then eventually go back down. No real reason to do that on a gun like the Panthera where you can find the optimal pressure and adjust from there. At 200 bar and heavier hammer that gun is going to do at least 180 if not near 200 FPE.

What’s the advantage to not having a regulator?

For me is less parts in the gun, more power on the first few shots and most of all no chance of regulator creep,.....as a hunter that operates in thick bush jungle conditions I have no need for a regulator at all.


I wish companies gave the option to get a gun Regulated or Unregulated, .......also it should be cheaper sans Reg

Excellent results - what a beast of an air rifle.

I assume you have the 700mm .30 cal?

 

[Tebonr]

Do you have the tungsten hammer? I’m about to order one I think. What slugs are you using?

Yes

Yes tungsten hammer. AVS dish based .3013, 75 and 80 grain.

First group under 1/2 inch at 100. I’m sure it won’t be the last.

 

[Nomadic Pirate 66]

Man, that is some serious accuracy,....and you only had the gun a relative short time

 

[Blake1521]

Looking forward to seeing what others are able to do with it once the gun gets in more people’s hands. I’m sure there will be a more accurate slug/tune combo than what I have.

I would try single hand loading a few groups to see if there is any difference but maybe that doesn’t matter as much with slugs. Is there an adjustable pin probe on the Pantera ? It makes a difference on PB rifles to seat the bullets to just about touching the lands in the throat chamber along with making all the other variables as close to the same on every load , bullet weight, case neck diameter, etc.

The important part of the equation is that you are over the moon happy with it and it is exceeding your expectations, that is great to hear!

It would appear that the introductory hype was justified, because the performance you are demonstrating with yours is very impressive.

Insane indeed!

Good luck getting 11 sub MOA, mag fed, 160 FPE shots from a traditional/OG big bore......at that weight and ergonomics! Panthera will decimate big bore market! Only problem for now is availability, my Pathera does not even have an ETA at all at this point and my friends are waiting on mine before ordering.

HOWEVER! If someone is looking for 500mm Panthera, Utah air has 500mm Panthera in stock!!! I'm almost tempted to change my order.....almost.

FX Panthera 500mm Airgun

The brand new FX Panthera will change the game.

The UA custom desert tan cerakote Pathera really has me drooling!

Does anyone know if they are going to make other colors?

I’m partial to the lichen pattern

I got my Panthera .30 cal last. Thanks for the results you have posted.

What tune are you using? Is the same for 75 and 81 grn?

Thanks
