Panthera FX Panthera MKII .30 700mm My First FX

Good thread. I had read another similar thread. I like the FX, but it’s a delicate Airgun. I definitely would not consider one as a utility working gun. I know everyone complains about all of the loctite. But, I’ve had the trigger weight screw creep so much that it was a safety issue. One of my trigger guard screws came loose. My rifle travels less than 50 ft back and forth from a climate controlled environment to the bench.

Bill, you should try: https://www.amazon.com/Vibra-TITE-T...sc=1&msclkid=2f914d31b5831acbb5cf273a293d3281

This stuff works longer and repeatedly (5 times) before needing a re-do. The way loctite works is a pain if it's on a part that moves a lot, or that you want to adjust.

I missed this post. I’ll order some and try it.

Switched the liner back to the pellet liner today. I shot JSB 44.75gr pellets only today. I also cleaned the liner prior to installing. It was windy. But, II did get several 3-4 shot groups that were sub .7 MOA at 101yds and then the wind would kill the group. The SD went to crap. I tried velocities from 860ish to 950. I haven’t determined what I killed the SD yet. When you add the fifth shot to the group shown, it went downhill. I didn’t include it because Au t was a strong gust and I was only trying to see how it was grouping.

Just from following everyone else, and a little of my own experience with those JSB pellets, I would suggest that you don't shoot them over 920fps. You can shoot some of the AEA faster, but not so much those JSB. ymmv
