Airgun depo made a mistake! Maybe I’ll keep it anyways…

Airgun Depo sent me this FX Panthera in .30 cal when I ordered .22 paired with Air Marksmen 310 bar bottle and ATN x-sight 4Kpro 3-14 scope

I'm getting about 25 shots with my .30/700 with the same bottle and hybrid slugs. On the scope, I switched from ATN to the Sightmark Wraith 4k, like it much more.

[@themichiganoutdoorsman]

I’ll probably be switching to that for ammo. Yeah I’m not impressed with the X sight 4K pro picture quality

[@hankvana2149]

I have a .22/700 on order. Good to hear the positive comments from a "real user" instead of a professional reviewer. Thought about a larger caliber but I don't need the power or the range so I decided to go with the .22. Looking forward to hearing more about your Panthera!

[@themichiganoutdoorsman]

Thanks! I am looking forward to learning about it as well

[@peteralexben]

maybe fx brings the guns out to soon . the dreamline is already in a short time gen 3 or later

[@kansasairhunters2057]

Keep the 30..get a cheapo 22 for squirrels and chucks

[@safakaswedishairgunforum-n1490]

im thinking of a 600 or 700 in 30 cal for hunting, seems to be a hard hitter in 30 cal. 600 or 700 what is your opinion here. use my fx royale in 22 for close quarter stuff up to 65-70 meters. need something for beyond 7” preferably with slugs

[@themichiganoutdoorsman]

I’m a long barrel guy no matter how you sell it to me. Even powder burners I own I always chose the longest barrel length available. So I’m biased:) powder burner or air gun, longer barrel means more speed, which means more power at the end of the day, and in a lot of cases can mean better stabilization for the projectile, which means more accuracy, but also less forgiving as the bullet is in the barrel for a longer time and can be prone to smaller discrepancies when it comes to trigger pull or not following through on a shot. I will be showing more videos of this FX Panthera, shooting some slugs here shortly as I have decided to keep the rifle. I will try to make some more videos on the group size I get.

On a stock bottle, I am getting 40+ shots with JSB 44 pellets at 885. Zan 63 slugs @ 950, I get 15 shots. Find a size/speed/shot count that works for you. I bought mine for NRL22, so the lower shot count doesn't bother me.

[@themichiganoutdoorsman]

Awesome! I still have yet to play with it yet

[@Fernando_Woolybooger]

I've got the 500mm 30 cal Panthera. Wish I went with the 600mm instead and just bought an extra standard liner to shoot pellets.

[@ezrabrook3993]

Maybe just get a 22 barrel on them for their messup?

[@themichiganoutdoorsman]

That would be awesome!

[@jeffojibway9284]

I had a maverick for 4 weeks put bunch of rounds threw it than had problems with it, they took it back no questions asked.

[@le3045acp]

had same scope they suck buy a pard nv008 like 699.00 and they use 18650 batteries and for airguns the ir in the unit is perfect i love mine no need for a second ir and its light and a few extra batteries in the pocket instead of a unit that must be charged

[@themichiganoutdoorsman]

Thanks!

[@recklessjunkie]

So you got a 30 cal panthera with a .22 cal mag so since you’re keeping it did you just order a new 30 cal mag ?

[@themichiganoutdoorsman]

Yeah I called FX and they sent me a new mag and barrel shroud

[@226eagleeye]

Isn’t the caliber stamped on the back of the pellet probe?

[@themichiganoutdoorsman]

Not sure on these newer style airguns

[@pricelessppp]

Is it worth spending 1k to 2k for a air gun for target practice if you want something with a thumbhole stock or tactical pistol grip stock? Rather then wasting money upgrading other guns etc? I’ve been heavily enjoying. My avenger the past couple years.

[@themichiganoutdoorsman]

To each their own, I enjoy a quality well built item. And I have seen that with low end guns as well but there’s something different you can tell by just picking an FX Airgun up.

[@bayonne]

While you have the opportunity - Start Shooting some 54-68g Slugs through it - You will Know FOR SURE How Many Shots you will get from a bottle in the real world! You have a rare opportunity right now, take advantage of it and Please report your findings here. Subscribed.

[@themichiganoutdoorsman]

No problem, I’ve decided to keep the rifle after talking to Airgun depo. They are sending me the mag for this rifle.

[@samuelhorowitz5029PLUMBCRAZY]

30 cal is a nice platform!

[@themichiganoutdoorsman]

Absolutely!

[@raymondaguirre5825]

Maybe thats a blessing in disguise? Just bought a 30 cal wildcat mk 3 sniper. I got the wildcat because of the shot count. But now you can put a580cc in front of the panthera have have a massive shot count or put your spare 300cc on it.

[@themichiganoutdoorsman]

That’s awesome!

[@Giovanni-zc1lv]

Interesting .... Get a .30 mag and rock some critters until they make it right.

[@themichiganoutdoorsman]

Yes that would be awesome! I had an opportunity to shoot a coon just after I made this video but I chose my 25 Cal impact as I wanted to have a magazine for a fast follow up shot.

[@ravenshield7823]

I don't think 100fpe for chipmunks is a deal breaker.

[@themichiganoutdoorsman]

Especially if I can get that footage in slow motion😊

[@ravenshield7823]

@@themichiganoutdoorsman Lol, you're going to have to, or you might not see anything at all. I would be in a tough place in your position, you finally get the gun, you probably had everything else all ready, then you can't even use it. I'd say if it shoots well, it's a slug gun after all, might as well have a capable one.

[@ravenshield7823]

@@themichiganoutdoorsman Do yourself a favor before you try all these big box store surplus ammo brands and grab 200 of the dish base and 200 of cup base Griffin slugs to test. His slugs are second to none, you have everything to gain and nothing to lose, you already have the best gun for the job, you will turn that thing into a sniper rifle. His designs are superior. Plus he's a super cool dude and feel free to send him a message he always gets back to you with knowledge. Good luck my friend.

[@themichiganoutdoorsman]

Thanks! I have looked into his slugs already and have used them for my.457 Texan with great results

[@ravenshield7823]

@@themichiganoutdoorsman Cool, They are the only thing my RedWolf will shoot, and so well it's obvious it's not the gun anymore.

Sucks, but congratulations!
