Ed,

Could you toss some 14.3 CPHP's over a chrony and give me the numbers please?

454
Ed... no the other one!

or if you know the FPS with 16 Gr preds, you can just give me that too, it will be what i'd shoot out them.  i found a used .22 panther locally... for a quite nice price.

What shooter do you want me to use for a fps reading bro?. My Panther is a .177 but likes the CPHP'S, FTS and Preds. My Extreme .22 which has been de-tuned shoot's the Preds at 817fps. Ed

My .177 Panther shoot's the CPHP's at 880fps and the Pred's at 817fps if that help's any. Ed

i thought your 34P panther was a .22, the one you always night hunt with.  the one i'm looking at, is a sightless, scopeless, RWS 34P a little beat up, but only 100 bucks... deciding if i should take it.

Nope I hunt those Bandit's with a .177 hehe. For $100.00 I would jump on it and give it a tune the RWS34's are great shooters. Ed

Got it!  thanks!  what made you choose the .177 panther for night patrol?  i would think  that you would pick something you could leave cocked for a longer time, for faster shots.  but my "thoughts" obviously aren't bothering you, because your killing more than i think the entire forums together.

I've left my shooter's cocked for hours with little ill effect's but if they go down I can always tune em right back up. The Panther was given to me and used to be Brother Timmy's it has a proven history of solid kill's. Timmy dropped Bandit's also and a Fox to boot with her, she's scary accurate. Ed

i could probably shoot it, it has no sights, its just the gun.  i don't know much about it, he said the stock is scuffed up, and its well worn, but i figure it might the the basis for a good shooter.  i have a nice medium power .22 currently, and am expecting if the .177 shoots at 800's, the .22 will shoot 700's, which is on par with what i have... i somehow thought it was more powerful.  i might have to have my Gamo cleaned up, and try to take a bandit with the cat!

If it's a solid shooter out of the gate it might push 14.3g pellet in the mid 700's which is plenty for small game if one does their part. Ed
