Page 5 - Umarex Gauntlet Reviews

this .25 cal pcp is amazing, quiet. accurate. powerful. sleek design. very well built. a fantastic value for the money. i am very impressed so far.

the magazine needs to be beveled on the edges on both sides of each pellet pocket to make it much smoother when cocking and pushing the bolt back to the forward position which essentially pushes the pellet in to place to be ready to shoot. I think the wholes in the mag are a little too tight for the pellet skirts. Not too bad though.

i am very surprised that this pcp rifle has this low price point. once you hold it in your hands and shoot it you will understand my surprise. very well built for a fraction of the cost of comparable pcp rifles in my opinion.

Very accurate. High shot count per fill. Quick connect fill receptacle on bottle is nice.

I dont like the cheap plastic air cylinder cover. Very flimsy, And the Chinese made magazines are pretty cheap quality compared to Hatsan magazines.

This gun is made in China.

Excellent accuracy and power

Shorten the overall length of the rifle and add a picatinny rail on the bottom of the fore end.

Rifle is slightly on the longer side.

It just arrived today...this is my first review of an air rifle... Up until the Gauntlet...all prior air rifles were just that puffff..and maybe some power..my Hatsan had about 30 ft pounds...but a well know youtube reviewer stated he does not review entry-level rifles...as they are too hit or miss...he owns mostly fx products....tell me about it This feels more like a 22 short...just fired it twice... as it is not overly back yard friendly...into an old washing machine...cut through the steel shell and the heavy steel drum at 10 yards...living in CentAm for decades, and plan to keep it in the bedroom...just in case...sleep easy ..but do look forward to taking it out in the field...I watch the south african air gunners with their 2000 dollar fx..shooting slugs at 70 ft pounds..this is close enough for me.

nada

yes....get one pronto...price is rising

Its fast. About 890 fps 25 cal. Just about nothing else.

The accuracy is terrible. The windage (point of impact) will jump left to right and back again constantly. Sometimes it will walk back a forth. I have verified this with different sights and optics. As much as 6-8 inches at 75 yards. The elevation does not budge. Its always spot on. The gun is much louder then my Marauder. I have given up on the gun.. Tried every thing I can think of. Nothing stops the windage point of impact from moving.

The gun is a beast to handle. Its long. Its heavy. It's hard to cock. The safety is very hard to engage when cocked.

I like that is heavy.

The mechanism is complicated.

I spent 200 dollars and I didnt l the preformence.

Accurate, great value for your money, adjustable stock, over all a decent gun

The shroud on the tank I don't like unscrewing and squeezing to take off, it is an awesome over all gun but it is def a club to carry. The bolt is a bit tough to work but after shooting it I noticed mine did get a little worked in.

To work the action a little better on the tough bolt I placed a bolt ball on mine to work the action a little quicker and easier. Over all its accurate and a good price and real fun to shoot. I've hunted with mine and had pretty good success this past season.

I Like the gun, But Shipping is "Pathetically" SLOOOOOOW

Pyamind's Shipping Procedures

They say it's in Stock but it takes a month to come in, What it fast? Go somewhere else.

This rifle is very accurate, easy to set up and a real pleasure to shoot. It's my first PCP after years of springers. I love it.

The action, not to bad, needs to be smoother. The more I shoot it, the easier it becomes. This won't stop me from buying the .25 in the future.

I highly recommend this rifle.

Value! Very good rifle for the money

Bolt action. Very stiff

Nope

Its powerful and accurate and its consistent with the regulator.

It would be great if it was lighter. I would like it to have a thumbhole stock

If your new to pcp Airgun you should try this gun out. Yea its bit heavy but its worth it.

Simple to operate

Bring back production to the USA

When do we start seeing "Made in the USA" products?

I like that I don't have to pump it up each shot,and I like having a magazine with 10 shots

the accuracy is horrible out of the box,needed work just it get it under 6" at 35 yards. but after putting thicker o ring on air stripper inside shroud, things got better.and going through three different types of pellets to get it down to two inch. next will buy barrel band and hope that will complete shot accuracy. not much of this was a surprise as i did my research before purchase. the trigger worked much better than reviewed.

I bought .177 cal. as most the places were out of .22 caliber that was my mistake there is a lot more ammo available for .22 and the noise it makes is about the same but hits with twice the energy fortunately most the shooting I do is target practice and am limited to the 35 yard range i have, so it works out.

Good power, accurate, no recoil And well worth the cost.

I feel that I got my moneys worth with this gun. I was looking for an entry-level gun to break into pneumatics. I was tired of fighting with Springers although I did like the challenge I was ready for the next step up and I didnt regret it. Hats off to pyramid air quality and customer service.

Stay safe

10-10 test is the best thing anybody can add to the package if you want to save headaches. John is the Man best customers service ever. I returned the first one.the second one I asked for the 10-10 and what difference, the Rifle came lubricate, cocking effort was 100% better and I believe they put blue lock tide on the trigger adjustments screws. Thumbs up to PA customer service.

Magazine sucks. Is a shame a company like Umarex cannot come up with a better mag.

Be prepare to invest around @ least $100 to make this a workable platform. You gonna need a regulator tester, piccatiny rail for a bipod.

Accuracy and options....this is a dream for a entry level pcp...I cant say enough about the accuracy. Now the options and upgrades that are possible are endless. Shrouds, moderators, baffels, tank, regulator....all of this can be modified or flat out upgraded by replace. With these modifications in the right circumstances this rifle can produce 60 lbs of fpe if desired....what more could you ask for....?

Well, I'll tell you what you could ask for is a diet. Heavy. This thing is a brick and the whole barrel without support is kind of a head scratcher...

I looked at the mirauder before deciding to try umerex and see what all the hub hub was....I haven't done a personal side by side with the Benjamin flagship, but I simply couldn't see how having the Mirauder would be that much better...but at the price of the Gauntlet the fact that she is even comparable to what many call the best overall pcp is quite a feat.

Very solid accurate shooter scoped with a 3-9X32 Barska.

Magazine. Not sure if its me or the magazine but the barrel has jammed twice. I basically gave up using the magazine and will order a new one. The Ninja gauge is hard to read (for someone with older eyes). Not really fond of the safety. The manual push through safety like the Stormrider would have been a better choice on an entry level PCP (IMHO). No sights/Must be scoped.

Hand pumping this rifle will be a workout. (From zero 200 pumps got me to 2750PSI). This rifle is a little more complex than one you pull out of the box and start shooting, a step above an entry level PCP. The bolt action is very stiff during the first few shots, but will settle out and become easier. Overall nothing truly stands out as excellent, but to its credit, everything is better than good. It a very solid PCP that requires a bit more attention to detail than some of the other entry level offering.

accurate as heck

nothing bad to say

been getting my games with nothing but head shots at 100+ yards

I love how accurate the gun is for the money. It is less than 300 dollars and it can hit a dime from 100yds away

I would make the trigger better out of the box

So far the gauntlet has performed extremely well so far. The .25 is much more quiet than I expected it to be and hit super hard. My yard is about 1/3 acre within city limits and the rifle is quiet enough to comfortably shoot in my back yard. The loudest thing about shooting it is the sound of the pellet impact. I bought the rifle to shoot 35 to 25 yards and at those ranges Im stacking pellets on pellets. Ive only used those diablo pellets so far but there doesn't seem like any real need to try anything else. Its as accurate as I can be.

Bolt was tight at first but has calmed down a bit after shooting it a bit.

I put a bsa 4-12x on it which works perfectly for my uses. From what I understand, this airgun doesn't need a special optic like spring piston guns. The important thing that I was looking for was parallax and also magnification. The bsa wasn't expensive and came off an old .22lr I had. Works very well. I don't see a need to put an optic on this air rifle that costs more than the rifle itself.
