It depends what one want to use the gun for. If one want to shoot the haviest slugs, without pushing the gun to the limit, it is probably a nice gun. If one want to use it for pellets the gun might not be as benefitial.
I personally prefer bullpups, or semi bullpups, so for me personally not that interesting.

If it get many stock options, like a shorter tactical version, and with a front bottle, it might be interesting for thouse who prefer shorter rifles.

I was interested in P very much because of specs but more I sleep over I have slowly changed my mind. The airtank doesn't meets my style.

Well I'm a nut about the PRS rifle look. I dig the style. I like the rifle is much shorter height wise and will be far less susceptible to you accidently canting the rifle when shooting. I also like the mag location compared to my impact. I like the adjustable length of pull and adjustable cheek rest already on the gun without buying aftermarket parts. I also like the arca rail and places for m Lok stuff like weights. I also like the deep mag well for long slugs.
But.. it's not a bullpup so the gun is LONG. And since they wanted to make the rifle shorter and more versatile for shooting off different obstacles, the bottle is on the stock and small. So long gun with low air capacity. If those are a deal breaker, don't get it.
I think it'll be a nice addition to the safe. I like variety. The panthera ticks a lot of boxes for me (minus the shot count.. but not that big of a deal). If I wanted just one FX gun to handle the most situations... It would be a bottle wildcat.

A weapons engineer that helped design the Panthera talks about airguns and how they are surpassing rimfires in accuracy and standard deviation .
Around the 13 min mark.

This is why I purchased one I wanted a 22 but ended up with a 25 in the 700 length I own several high end guns and none do what this does with such ease. I’m shootings 41 grain ZANs at 1100fps reg is set at 130 wheel is on 23 and micro adjustment at 4 these were the settings from the store I have not done any tuning. I only have 40 yards to shoot at my home but at 40 I’m getting one ragged whole it is a tac driver. I am getting that load crack so I don’t believe I’m shooting sub sonic. I want to shoot 100yard and farther to see if the speed will affect accuracy out farther at 40yards it is not at all. Another thing the guy at my local shop told me I’d get 16 shots but that’s not true at all I’m getting around 40 shots 2 1/2 mags with these settings consistently. The power accuracy and shot count is unbelievable I’m turning lemons into mist with not much left at 40yrds.

Best is asking panthera owners about the gun in private.
Asking on the forum is like pissing in the wind...lol

Meh! Another FX rifle in a different wrapper. I would look for a good used Impact MkII or a Crown.

I don't understand your comment.
I have a .22 Crown MK2, a .22 Impact MK2 and a .22 Panthera . Yes, all made by FX, all .22 caliber, but they are definitely different airguns in looks, feel and applications.

Simply amazing. 40 shots from a 300cc bottle at 110 FPE. I forget to order the magical self filling bottle and super high “ludicrous” power options when I bought my Panther.

Yep,, I own them all, but see no need for another version. I think the rifles I have pretty much covers all bases for my shooting which ranges from 10M to 100 yd EBR.

I sense no chrono. Getting 40 shots is one thing. Useable shots is another. There must be several that fall out the barrel and the shooter is thinking they are going through the same hole on target.
