The FX Panthera 500 is a PCP air rifle that gives you the power and precision to reliably place shots during competitive shooting. You get technological innovations that raise the bar for accuracy and consistency, plus the flexibility and tuning possibilities that have made FX famous.
With this air rifle, you have the ability to get the same level of performance as you do when shooting a .22LR, and with better consistency as well. That's because FX manufactured this airgun with competitors in mind, and their testing shows extremely low extreme spreads and standard deviations over a 10 shot string to give you the dependable performance you need.
The FX Panthera 500 gives you a Dynamic Block with a high power, short impulse valve that doesn't waste air while still delivering powerful shots, and a regulated Dynamic Plenum that surrounds the barrel with stable pressure, which stiffens the barrel for better results.
This mode of the rifle gives you a 500mm barrel for the lightest and shortest experience of the platform, and you still get plenty of power and shots per fill. To give you the best performance when shooting pellets and lighter slugs, it also comes with an FX Superior STX barrel liner. Plus, it comes with dual angled manometers on the block that show the bottle pressure and regulated plenum pressure.
You'll find that it's easy to get the tune you want with the adjustable hammer spring power wheel, externally adjustable AMP MKII regulator, and two stage adjustable match trigger. You'll also get actual ambidextrous features because of the adjustable reversible cheekpiece and reversible sidelever, and you can get the setup you need with the fully adjustable buttstock and zero angle AR grip.
Adding accessories that help in competitive shooting is simple with the 14.5" Arca-Swiss and M-LOK forend rail, and the Picatinny scope rail lets you get better accuracy for long range shooting because it has a 20 MOA cant. The rear Foster QD fill port makes it easy to fill the rifle, and there's a rear removable 300cc carbon fiber bottle as well.

It honestly is the most accurate air rifle I have ever shot. I one magazine 18 rounds is literally one hole at 36 yards. I purchased the 500 in 22, after much research. I really wanted a pellet rifle not a slug gun. I haven't changed the regulator settings at all. I did lighten the hammer settings up from the out of the box settings. It really likes the JSB 18.13 jumbo. It is flawless. My Daystate likes the JSB redesigned, so I tried them in the FX. Horrible results with even a few baffle strikes. I now have about 300 JSB 18.13 pellets through it (sorted) NOT one flyer not one bad shot amazing. I am of course I am VERY upset over the leak. For almost 2,000 it shouldn't leak, however the accuracy is amazing. I will contact Airgun Depot about the leak, and if possible I will update the service aspect of the 500. As odd as it sounds at this point I am giving it a 5 star rating. Thats how impressed with the accuracy I am! Let's find out how well I am treated with my leak problem.
Pros
Most accurate airgun I own, or ever have owned!
