This difference in valve styles may be intresting for the members.

So one is for target shooting and one is for hunting, got it, already thought that anyway but now I have a reason to think that way. Which do you pick if you could only use one? Which one is more likely to develop problems and which is easier to work on and fix? Those would be my next considerations. I'm still thinking about getting a Leopard, so I follow many FX discussions, thanks for doing them!

The most easy and most reliable is RAW HM1000X if you get made by Martin.

For competition and target shooting FX products are great.

Never used Leopard.

Well most of mine are FX. Panthera,dynamic and DRS tactical. I still have the Saxby and Palmer I did the first regulated airguns in 83 I think, a Modoc because of the cartridge design and 2 Air Force 357-457. Fx seame to be taking over my wall! But next will be the Panda of Mora

Panda or the mora two brilliant PCPs think it would have to be the panda for me seeing what designs and craftsman ship that's gone in to it the barrel alone without mentioning the action and text of the PCP

I'm not a big fan of what I hope is not a growing trend of people posting ChatGPT and other AI replies on the forums. AI is known to make up stuff and I would not put my faith in what it posts up as 100% valid information.

Agreed about the capabilities and reliability of AI. I also would not put too much trust in what it says, unless I KNEW it to be correct. In which case, I wouldn't need AI to tell me...

Hard Air Magazine has completely AI-free content. You get what I write, folks, very occasional typos and all!

I'm not taking action on this thread as I know @Mubhaur is very knowledgeable. But I will call a stop to obviously AI-generated posts, should they become at all common in future.

Thanks for your understanding.

Agree with you there

I never thought about it before, but now that you mention it, thanks for getting in front of the issue and shutting it down before it really becomes annoying.

Well my Panthera is 800 mm 30 and will be my long range and the Dynamic is 25 getting ready to covert to 700 30 pellet for Completion since I got the Tactical in 25 which will be tuned do Griffins in 40-50 grainers bthp for both the RX speed bank and the reset system I designed for the rack so I can move out to 200-300+ yards. I will change the Dynamic to a king or Panthera stock so both will be similar for the RMAC next year. I shot a watermelon with the 30 90 grainers griffin bthp and it exploded on impact pushing 259+ ft pd. I took 9 international in the late 89s as we as 1st in long range and, 10 pin, and the speed shoot with a single shot. Enjoy
