It features a barrel twist rate optimized for each caliber, ranging from 1:17.7 to 1:27.4, ensuring accuracy. The hammer weight varies between 70 grams and 90 grams, depending on caliber, and the internal regulator pressure is set to 2800 PSI for most configurations, with the .35 caliber operating with an open regulator. The Pellet Tune setup includes different projectile weights, external regulator pressures ranging from 1400 to 2100 PSI, and hammer spring adjustments for optimal velocity and energy output. The Slug Tune configuration is fine-tuned for higher performance, with external regulator pressures up to 2800 PSI, achieving up to 159 FPE in .35 caliber. The rifle has a magazine capacity of 18 rounds for .22 caliber, decreasing as caliber increases. It also features a 700cc air cylinder with a maximum fill pressure of 310 BAR (4,500 PSI), ensuring long shooting sessions before needing a refill. This rifle is designed for power, precision, and reliability, making it a top choice for serious shooters and enthusiasts.

The Karma Red Panda: A New Era in Airgun Precision
The all-new Red Panda Precision Airgun System is engineered from the ground up to deliver superior precision across multiple shooting disciplines. In 2023, Thayne Simmons, shooting for Team Saber Tactical, showcased the air rifle's capabilities with three first-place finishes using a prototype.

The 2024 benchrest competition season further solidified its reputation, with over a dozen finalists competing with the original Red Panda, multiple podium finishes, and Thayne setting the all-time professional air rifle benchrest world record score of 240 with 8 Xs. Karma Airguns is proud to announce that the current version shipping to shooters incorporates extensive engineering enhancements to make the Karma Red Panda a breakthrough in precision airgunning through a single precision focused airgun platform.

Dual-Purpose Competition Performance: Precision Marksmanship Challenge & NRL22
Beyond benchrest supremacy, the Red Panda Precision Airgun is now optimized for Precision Marksmanship Challenge and NRL22 positional style shooting competitions, making it a true dual-purpose airgun platform. A major breakthrough in its versatility lies in the newly engineered barrel system, which features an optimized profile and proprietary rifling designed to accommodate both pellets and slugs with exceptional precision. This barrel technology enhances ballistic efficiency, ensuring superior accuracy across various shooting disciplines.

In addition to the upgraded barrel system, the Red Panda features a more compact overall height profile. The redesigned front rail and plenum have been vertically condensed by nearly an inch compared to the previous model, significantly improving handling and balance in dynamic shooting positions. These enhancements make the Red Panda an ideal choice for shooters who demand precision across both long-range benchrest competitions and fast-paced positional shooting formats.

Revolutionary Plenum and Airflow Design
The newest version of the Red Panda has been re-engineered with a groundbreaking approach to isolating the plenum air source from the barrel, further refining its precision and consistency. This redesign integrates a twin-tube plenum and high-pressure air source into the front rail system, eliminating any potential air pressure fluctuation effects on barrel harmonics. By creating a direct and uninterrupted airflow path to the 360-degree radial transfer port, this system ensures maximum efficiency and consistency in every shot. Additionally, the Red Panda now boasts one of the largest onboard air plenums in the industry, delivering a massive 200cc of regulated air volume.

Precision Karma Airguns Bull Barrel System
One of the key advancements in this air rifle is its precision supergrade bull barrel system. This advanced barrel incorporates a 360-degree radial transfer port, delivering the highest level of consistent, clean airflow in the industry. To maximize barrel rigidity and provide predictable barrel harmonics, the barrel-to-action connection is secured with six high-tensile-strength bolts, creating one of the most rock-solid mounting systems available.

Cutting-Edge Barrel Rifling Technology
The proprietary Karma Airguns barrel rifling manufacturing process undergoes an intensive multi-step approach, utilizing a precision measuring technique that checks for zero variances in bore and land diameter along the entire barrel length. This ensures absolute uniformity and peak ballistic performance. This approach to a one-of-a-kind rifling manufacturing process limits the amount of rifling marks imprinted onto pellets or slugs, resulting in a higher ballistic coefficient for every projectile. The increased ballistic coefficient translates to less wind deflection and improved downrange energy retention, ultimately leading to higher scores in competition. Every barrel is subjected to rigorous testing before shippingif it does not meet the highest precision standards, it is rejected outright.

Consistent and Adjustable Shot Performance
Combined with dual stainless steel externally adjustable regulators, the result is outstanding shot-to-shot consistency and stability. Further enhancing predictability is the two-stage adjustable match trigger, offering a light pull weight that can be fine-tuned for precision shooting.

Enhanced Adjustability for Competitive Shooters
The Red Panda includes a variety of adjustable features tailored for competitive shooters, such as a tool-free externally adjustable transfer port and an externally adjustable hammer spring for customized tuning. Additionally, the stock features an adjustable cheekpiece and shoulder pad, allowing shooters to achieve optimal eye alignment and a comfortable length of pull for peak performance.

Optimized Optics and Accessory Mounting
For enhanced accuracy at long distances, the top Picatinny rail is built with a 30 MOA cant and includes a rear bubble level to ensure repeatable precision. The front rail system also incorporates long M-LOK accessory rails, allowing shooters to attach shooting weights, bipods, and other essential accessories.

Air Capacity for Extended Performance
The rifle's aluminum air cylinders boast an impressive 700cc capacity and fill to 310 BAR (approximately 4,500 PSI), providing ample power for competition use. The modularity of the air capacity can be modified to remove a rear air cylinder for a light weight configuration. With a proven track record in the highest levels of competition and cutting-edge engineering for superior accuracy with both slugs and pellets, the Red Panda Precision Airgun stands as the ultimate choice for serious benchrest competitors.

About Air Guns (Not Airsoft)

It's up to YOU to know the laws in your state, county, and city, and to fully comply with them. You must be 18 years or older to buy any air or airsoft gun.

Air guns are not airsoft or toy guns. They are recommended for adult use only and by youth under adult supervision. Misuse or negligence may cause serious injury or death.

1) ALWAYS keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction. There are several safe "carries" depending on the situation. Treat your air gun like it is a real firearm.

2) Treat every gun as if it were loaded. Never point at anything you do not intend to shoot. Always keep the air gun on safe until you are ready to shoot.

3) Only load or cock a gun prior to shooting. Do not store a loaded gun.

4) Know your target and what lies beyond. Always aim in a SAFE DIRECTION. Always keep the muzzle of the air gun pointed in a SAFE DIRECTION.

5) Anyone shooting or near a shooter should wear safety glasses.

6) All persons near a shooter should remain behind the shooter and the direction of the muzzle. Never climb or jump with a gun. You can't control the direction of the muzzle if you stumble or fall.

7) Avoid ricochet. Do not shoot at hard surfaces or at the surface of water. The pellet may bounce off or ricochet and hit someone or something you had not intended to hit.

8) Keep the muzzle clear. Never let anything obstruct the muzzle of a gun. Don't allow the muzzle to come in contact with the ground.

9) Guns not in use should always be unloaded. Store the air gun in a secure location. Before you store your air gun, remove the magazine, make sure there is no magazine inserted, no rounds in the chamber, and make sure the gun is decocked.

10) Never brandish your air gun or airsoft gun in public. Do not brandish or display any gun in public - it may confuse people and may be a crime. Police and others may think it is a firearm.

11) Do not change the coloration and markings to make it look more like a firearm. That is dangerous and may be a crime.
