FX Panthera 500 Air Rifle
A DEDICATED, PURPOSE-BUILT AIR RIFLE MADE TO
WIN PRECISION RIFLE COMPETITIONS
The FX Panthera is unlike any rifle FX Airguns has made before. It is purpose-built with precision competition in mind, and complete with airgun innovation that continues the FX Airguns tradition of pushing the boundaries of airgun performance.
The Panthera includes technology that is a generational leap-forward for
an airgun. It begins with the new Dynamic Block, a new breech block designed
from the ground up for performance slug shooting. The Dynamic Block utilizes a
compact one-piece valve. This High-Power / Short-Impulse Valve is extremely
efficient while allowing an immense and precise flow of air.
The plenum feeding the Panthera is revolutionary and the first of its kind.
The Dynamic Plenum is an over-the-barrel plenum which provides a consistent
regulated pressurized plenum around the barrel, adding incredible stiffness to the
barrel as well as allowing multiple plenum lengths to be employed to match the
caliber and power of the rifle. Precise levels of pressure are maintained by the
single AMP MKII Regulator. Three sizes of plenum will be utilized initially: a Micro
Plenum (sub 12ft/lb rifles), Macro Plenum (47cc) & Magnum XL Plenum (156cc).
The results of the Dynamic Breech & Plenum are extraordinary! Testing
has yielded constant 10 shot strings with standard deviations in the low 1.0–2.0
range with extreme spreads as low as 3-4.
This ability to precisely control air flow paired with the world-class FX Superior STX barrel using premium slugs will yield competition wins.
The Panthera stock is designed for competition. It features a 14.75” long
Arca rail complete with M-LOK sections and a barricade block nestled next to the
breech. Achieve an ideal balance point by adding external M-LOK compatible
weights or internal FX Barrel Weights that attach under the shroud. The Panthera
further fits the shooter using a fully adjustable buttstock and an adjustable cheekpiece
that is also ambidextrous. The Panthera’s air source is a 300cc carbon fiber
bottle attached in the rear and is filled via a rear located foster quick disconnect.
The Panthera uses a 20MOA picatinny scope rail, comes standard with a zero-angle grip and has an ambidextrous sidelever cocking handle that is reversible to the left side
of the rifle. Dual angled Manometers on the left side of the block show the bottle
pressure and the regulated plenum pressure.
Truly the precision rifle world will forever be changed with the new FX Panthera.
