FX Panthera, One Year Later: The Undisputed Master [4K]

[@AirArmsHuntingSA]

I'm glad I was able to find time to make this video before the deep dive into the DRS begins! To clarify my comments on balance: FX does make barrel weights and compact M-LOK weights that will allow you to balance the factory fore-end without affecting the ARCA rail clearance. So you don't HAVE to buy aftermarket fore-ends to make it work. I just personally like the extra width & length that the Saber rail provides, but there are cheaper ways to achieve balance.

[@bcml8]

I'm Sure I'm Not the Only One That is Definitely Looking Forward to the Deep Dive into the DRS !!!

[@recklessjunkie]

I appreciate you showing love and appreciation for the panthera it’s a quality rifle. I’m hoping it’s a staple in the line up for years to come I’m sure it will be.

Hello Matt, Tyler from Oregon here. I'm ready to purchase a scope for my pcp not going to bore with the details but I decided to go with element optics, specifically the helix hd as it's the most affordable for my needs. I'm wondering why when I watch all of your videos the scope camera footage is "a little color blurry". As in the scope cam footage is blurry. To my eyes or out of focus in the color side of the scope. I'm concerned with the rifle scopes clarity. But I was also thinking this is probably the cameras fault,making the scope cam footage grainy for me please get back to me and easy my worries because I love the idea of Element optics especially because so many of us trust what you say Matt. Please get back to me Tyler thank you ❤

[@recklessjunkie]

@@TylerHayes-Handle it’s a great scope a Video never really does them justice you won’t regret it I love mine I think It won an award too.

[@recklessjunkie]

Omg yes Matt is back baby! been waiting for this one !❤

[@Naam-iw6zp]

This is the first video about shooting I've ever seen that gives so much more knowledge. The balance aspect for example 👍

[@FodzyleGEEK]

Great video, very proud to see you at the IWA from Nuremberg. You're our jedï master for us, french airgunners😉👍

[@MrRebar15]

*AirArmsHuntingSA* Bravo well done, thank-you sir for taking the time to bring us along. GOD Bless.

[@MrRebar15]

@user-ru9jh5xl1d Peace & Grace, GOD Bless.

[@TheDollarSportsman]

Excellent overview, brother :); I have been anxious to get my Dynamic back out for more shooting!

[@sonny2dap]

Great video, good to meet you in Birmingham last week.

[@AirArmsHuntingSA]

Thanks!

[@peterprice5896]

Matt I’ve always been a BSA guy my R12 clx pro in .177 with Optisan scope was a laser gun plus I heard stories about FX rifle being the most messed with guns out there but also I was getting stories on how accurate they are so I put my toe in FX waters and bought a new DRS WALNUT in .177 and it was so good I thought if only there was a FX that was a little bigger and slightly better then I saw the FX crown mk II so I part exchanged the DRS with a little cash and left the store with a Crown Mk II with case and accessories in .177 in forest green laminate thanks mate you know your stuff.

[@markcolby1978]

Hi Matt nice meeting you at the British Shooting Show.

[@PrecisionQuest]

Thanks for the video. Are you simply loosening the 2 barrel nuts and leaving them looser? Or offsetting the bracket from the end of the plenum (creating a gap) and then retightening them?

[@jorgecantu8096]

Awesome Video Boss!!!!!! Im Buying one tomorrow!!!

[@johnnyboy2956]

I clean after every shoot. Whether it be 20 rounds or 50, as soon as I get home it's done. Unless the missus wants to go out for a early dinner late lunch, then I do it that evening. I've often thought about a old rod I have on a cordless drill. I'd like to see John's processes. I think I over clean but I'd rather go out next time knowing it's clean and ready to shoot for the day or weekend, without any drama. Each ti their own, some in the club I shoot in are a 400 rounds cleaner, others when the shot's start to show signs of inaccuracy. I can go back and put the 1st rounds down exactly where I left off. Cleaning works for me.

[@recklessjunkie]

You’re onto somthing I thought I had a junk liner but what I think happened was I had just did a .22 conversion on my .25 panthera and I couldn’t get it to group. lots of money slugs and air later I cleaned the barrel and bam! I was grouping pretty much whatever I had put into it some better then others but you get my point. also when I was putting 6 different .218 slugs and a couple .217 slugs through it like a ton of different manufacturers it never really got fouled in by any one slug so I was wasting these things I figured out I would have to pick one and stick with it and not jump around.. I couldn’t believe how bad the accuracy was doing that. the liner was chunked up bad.. anyways yes cleaning is very important we need to get that out there like centerfire f-class and bench rest shooters have been doing. Thanks for speaking up about it.

[@AirGhandi]

Hey Matt! Amazing Video like every time! It was so great to meet you at IWA last week! Very kind guy! Do you think the DRS Pro can do the same like your Panthera? Thanks a lot and all the best to you! Andi

[@Phalanx443]

Outstanding, as usual, Matt! Thank you!!

[@domingoliao2724]

The only thing Iv’e noticed that for so many models of FX pcps! much more on the latest ones’ haven’t seen a complete or partial review of chronied shots on target (10 shots on 25 -50 yds) & witness the E.S. & S.D. & above all the accuracy!

[@ShortsMaker-yd8kv]

Hello! Is there a video on how the fx drs can install the pressure gauge on the plenum? so that I can see how many bars the rifle goes through! thank you!

[@steenschjaellerup1142]

Nice vid. What caliber are you shooting??

[@Sparticus3117]

What slugs and speeds specifically are you shooting out of yours?

[@juanrossouw2224]

@AirArmsHuntingSA I recently purchased a Panthera, and noticed some air escaping from the sides of the magazine, is this normal?

[@OnTargetAirgunner]

What mic do you use? There was zero wind noise with that crazy wind out there. And you don't sound digitized like some wind removal software does when you edit audio. Nice vid 👏

[@travelcompass591]

🤠 Correction on my previous post I meant to say the "FX DYNAMIC COMPACT" 👍 IN .30 cal

[@rogerlambanicio2524]

Can i convert my panthera with an air cylinder around the barrel like the DRS or convert a rear bottle on a DRS ? 🤔 I like to see you do that in your guns😊

[@larinoyu5041]

Matt, Can you please tell us what muzzle brake you use at your Panthera? Thanks in advance. Lari.

[@freshfavorites7212]

From Justin Welch lol wild to see him mentioned randomly in a video after you grew up with him.

[@travelcompass591]

Hi 🤠You have given preference to technical reviews of gun and projectiles, competition shooting or monster sized rifles on most of your FX reviews. I was wondering if you could enlighten us on the FX Panthera Hunter Compact on .30 cal. I had experience with firearms but since I become interested in PCPs I have been looking for small, light.... and powerful. In the last two years I have found out that there is lots of PCP enthusiasts with the same interest. Is a market niche. Thank you.

[@heldersoares9637]

Hi Matt,thanks for nice vidios,ca you tell me what is the right thread on end cap on FX Panthera .22,Hi like your muzzle brake from apw,Hi want one for mine.many thanks

[@bbranchereau]

Nice one What is the muzzle break we see in the video

[@RaysAirgunsReview]

Did you say something about a competition in North Carolina??

[@bobtheplayer3885]

What muzzle breaker are you using?

[@kari969594]

what does mean it is consintent? what is the spread through all posiible shots from one tank? Why there are no tests showing whole velocity range and how the regulator is behaving as the pressure in tank goes down? I think it's really good to know if you want to go shoot some competition that doesnt allow to tank up.

[@janrobertbos]

...RTI MORA...we`ll see soon...😀

[@Digby-Waddlebottom]

hi mate awesome review thank you. whats the brake on it? cheers

[@sandyschupper8401]

I am so happy to have found and seen this video and I already have a Panthera Hunter Compact 300mm in .22 and love it. And I just bought a Panthera 600 mm with front and rear bottles in 22 caliber. It also has a bag rider from Saber. It's coming from Utah Airguns and it should arrive by the end of this coming week. I just sent a message to the people that make that 4 port muzzle brake asking if there's a dealer in the United States or how I can get one. Can that muzzle brake be used with a moderator? And if so does it go in front of or at the rear of the moderator? I am in Connecticut USA.

[@o1Hasan]

when will you compare panthera and drs pro ?

[@vincetooi]

Hey can wanne ask u something i have a panthera of my own in .25 i wanne shoot 40 grain slugs how much bar should i put on the reg? Like i have 140 now but is feels not enough i was thinking 150 is better

[@jedharris478]

My .25 is currently set at ~125 bar, and I'm pushing 940fps with 44gn javelins.

[@lectro88]

Matt, I'm not sure whether to praise you or swear at you for opening my eyes wider at the capability of PCP. What really makes me shake my head is I'm looking at double the cost of my powder burners and that's without any optics or mod's. I've not needed or wanted anything in years, so Maybe I shouldn't complain too loudly. You have bounced around my neck of the woods in NC more than I realized. I have not 100% made up my mind between the impact or panthera, but I think the valve block and the refined options may outweigh my concerns of the tiny air tank. The panthera I'm pretty sure would be my last "Want".. hopefully. I really wish I could drive somewhere that had these on hand, I think I read somewhere wilmington closed.(Sad) Really enjoy your content. Cheers. (Hey I was lucky 13th comment)

[@AirArmsHuntingSA]

On the topic of cost, the interesting thing is that at Shot Show when we had Precision Rifle shooters looking at the FX DRS, they were commenting on how cheap it was compared to their match rifles. So I think it probably depends on what you deem to be a comparable firearm. A match rimfire or centerfire in a similar chassis with a similar grade trigger will cost even more

[@lectro88]

I really appreciate the reply., I also realize that I am entering a very elite class of shooting possibilities with this Jewel. Also so you and everyone else can get a chuckle. I'm jumping/Leaping from a Gamo Urban 22 to a FX....something, but I have my gut feelings it's a Panthera. Thanks again. @@AirArmsHuntingSA

[@glennllewellyn7369]

Bite the bullet son.

[@R1davies]

So confused. Is the impact mk3 still the preferred option

[@delmarcurrier]

How many rounds do you have in your panthera

[@johnhart6050]

got to ask the question , why didnt fx make the gun with those mods in the first place?

[@MontanaAirGunner]

I am loving the brake on this. What is the brake you are using?

[@raulotsus4673]

Good work👍

[@renatoganaden10]

What is the scope cam that you use sir?

[@Bushido_24]

Where is James? He’s usually whining in Matt’s video comment section. That time of the month?

[@MrKeith57]

That looks like the Disneyland of air gun ranges

[@sebleonard8273]

19:03 why not just spray-paint the airgun???

[@luciankristov6436]

Cool airgun but way too damn expensive

[@Patrick-857]

Have you seen the prices on competition rimfire rigs? It's cheap compared to some of these rigs running Vuduu chassis ect.

[@recklessjunkie]

He’s got the Walmart tv demo jam playing at haha 3:12

Funny how you say 'the undisputed master', when it's well known that this is a poorly made pile of shite that won't outshoot a gun a quarter of the price...

Nice looking, but $2k is a bit much.
