Panthera— first thoughts after a week

Remember that car back in the day,.....careful brother not to derail this thread

Too late… must resist hitting ignore button. I thought this thread was about the Panthera? Give it a break Manny…

FX said that this rifle had a special purpose, a specific discipline.

My interest as a mere hunter is how accurate and powerful the rifle is in order to try to find if that special purpose rifle could be useful for the use I could give to it.

But the advantage need to be great in order to convince myself to expend another 2 k dollars in a new rifle.

That is why is important for me to be posted on the experience of the owner like OP.

Can you tell us what your shot count is at those numbers?

Yes. I get 16 good shots. Not a lot but every one them is within 3 fps of each other

Congratulations! Nice guns, saw one at a shop, very nice! Enjoy shooting it!

Thank you. It is fun to shoot

 

[Mountainpuma]

Glad we could get you one of them right away Puma! Good to see you are enjoying it and you are able to stretch things out.

Anything else you need just let me know, an we will get you taken care of!

Thank you so much For the guidance you gave me on receiving the new gun

I'm not a FX fan .. but I'm not irrational either.. Wright now if you want a compact, powerful easy cocking 24" bullpub the impact comact , win by a considerable margin .. maybe the brocok ghost 2 will come close..my point is that even when the Pantera is not for many, one could see what kind of machine the impact M4 will be , so that could be my first fx , because it certainly be a power house..

After a week of use, did you notice in the first few shots of the session that the speed, impact point and regulator pressure are the same as in previous sessions?
thanks for your answer

Great to hear more good things about the Panthera from a 'real' user. I'm going to hold off and see what's next from FX using this new valve system. As a hunter and casual target shooter, I can't justify the Panthera, for now. But I must admit, it is very impressive for the niche it's tailored to.

After the reg works in at the start of each shooting session (3 or 4 shoots )it picks up right where it was as far as fps. impact point doesn’t move around so far and the reg pressure has been very consistent
