This powerhouse is built for optimal airflow, meaning that air will flow as fast and efficient as possible as soon as you pull the trigger. For this, all parts are perfectly in sync with each other. Let us pick out the highlights for you:
- Regulator: The single AMP MKII regulator has its own pressure gauge and can be adjusted meticulously. It lets you lower the pressure coming from the 250 bar bottle (300 cc and sporting its own pressure gauge) to create the perfect pressure inside the plenum to match your chosen ammunition.
- Dynamic Plenum: Inside the plenum, the already regulated air is at the ready for the next shot. The plenum is available in different capacities and the bigger the calibre and the heavier the projectile, the more capacity you’ll need inside the plenum. The FX Panthera 500 sports a Macro plenum around the barrel. This means a matching barrel shroud should be used when changing the plenum.
- Dynamic Block: An extra-large breech is featured inside the Dynamic Block, allowing for slugs up to 13 mm in length. A smart move, as the FX Panthera is specifically designed to use slugs. A newly developed High Power/Short Impulse one-piece valve ensures a large and extremely fast airflow.
- Quick Tune System: To tune further, the hammer spring preload can be adjusted with a macro adjustment wheel in numerous numbered steps. Finetuning is then done with a micro adjustment, also with a clear scale to see what you’re doing. This makes choosing a setting a breeze.
- Superior STX: The famed Superior STX barrel system features a changeable Superior STX standard liner into which the rifling is pressed from the outside. This is done to keep the inside of the barrel as smooth as possible and to ensure a perfect sealing around the projectile. The liner has a carbon fibre sleeve beneath the barrel shroud.
Functional design
Everything on this FX Panthera 700 is designed for ultimate accuracy over long distances and ergonomics are an important aspect of this. The adjustable match trigger of the FX Panthera 700 is known to be very refined and its blade is adjustable in both angle and height.
The stock is adjustable in length of pull and the cheek piece is height adjustable. You can also change the cheek piece from the left side to the right and to make the FX Panthera 700 fully ambidextrous, the short throw cocking lever can be switched from side to side too. As standard, the FX Panthera 700 is equipped with a zero-angle grip.
Being a thoroughbred long distance PCP air rifle, the FX Panthera 700 is -of course- featuring a 20 MOA Weaver/Picatinny scoperail. This slightly forward slanted rail really enhances the adjustment range of your rifle scope when shooting over long distances. The front of the fore-end has M-LOK slots in top, sides and below and is ready for optional Weaver/Picatinny accessory rails. This makes mounting a bipod -for instance- a walk in the park.
Please note: The FX Panthera 700 comes pre-adjusted in an average state of tuning for average use. The maximum power stated in the specifications can be reached by using the multiple adjustment options on this air rifle, combined with the optional available tungsten hammer.
