Karma Red Panda PRS

 This Karma Red Panda PRS PCP rifle has made quite a splash in the world of precision rifle shooting. In 2023, Thayne Simmons -one of the co-founders of Saber Tactical- stepped out onto the field with the prototype for this Red Panda air rifle by Karma Airguns and he delivered a record-breaking achievement. He used it to win the three most prestigious American air rifle championships of 2023. The experience he gained while competing in those championships was used to further develop and complete the prototype. The result is the three-time victorious Red Panda PRS edition by Karma Airguns.

Accuracy
The Red Panda PRS PCP rifle by Karma Airguns was specifically designed for the shooting sport discipline known as PRS (Precision rifle series). It weighs about 6250 grams and it has a total length of 1150 mm, so it boasts excellent manoeuvrability and accuracy. Everything was designed to keep the rifle as steady as possible and to maintain ultimate stability. The weight plays a big role in reducing muzzle rise. There are multiple M-LOK slots along the bottom of the fore-end, which can be used to mount a bipod. Combined with the bag rider located on the rear of the butt stock, you can use that bipod to set the Karma Airguns Red Panda Bench down as stable as possible and finely adjust it. Just below the M-LOK accessory rail, you’ll find the barricade stop. The Weaver/Picatinny scope rail has an angle of 30 MOA, which means it automatically compensates for the long range you will be shooting the PCP rifle at. It has a 711 mm long slug barrel -which has rifling specifically made for slugs- that also contributes to its excellent accuracy.

Plenums
The air rifle is regulated and it has a quick air-refresh rate. That fast refresh rate is the result of its plenum. The plenum is located towards the rear of the rifle, right above the PCP cylinder in the buttstock. Every slug is sent down range with air that has already been prepared in the plenum, so you’re never shooting with air coming directly from the cylinder. The plenum has a capacity of 120 cc.

Action
This Red Panda PRS PCP rifle by Karma Airguns features a PCP cylinder with a capacity of 500 cc and a fill pressure of 310 bars. That cylinder is located in the butt stock. The PCP rifle uses magazines and the tightly-tuned side lever will push the slugs carefully into the barrel and ensure a tight seal. The Red Panda PCP rifle is available for the following calibres:
• 4.5 mm / .177
• 5.5 mm / .22
• 6.35 mm .25
• 7.62 mm / .30
• 9 mm / .35

Ergonomics
The stock is made of both aluminium and synthetic parts, ensuring it’s highly durable, without messing up the PCP rifle’s balance. The special AR-style grip is shaped ergonomically and it feels great to hold in your hand. It has a textured pattern that provides more grip and even the interchangeable thumb rest has a rough texture. As indicated before; the butt stock holds the PCP cylinder with the plenum located on top of it. On top of that plenum, you’ll find the height-adjustable cheek rest. That cheek rest will allow you to line your eyes up perfectly with the scope you’ll be using to maximally benefit from the Karma Airguns Red Panda Bench’s long-range capabilities. The butt plate is length-adjustable, so you can quickly determine the right length-of-pull (LOP).
