Umarex Gauntlet .22 Review - Regulated, Suppressed, Under $300 are you serious??

[AirgunWeb]

Times they are a changing! When I started airgunning PCP airguns were very expensive. Compressors were $4000, making them out of reach for most airgunners. NOT ANYMORE! Over the last couple of years we’ve seen PCP airgun prices drop like crazy and we’ve seen quality hand pumps and compressors come way down in price. At the same time we’ve seen accuracy and high end features like integrated pressure regulators become the norm. Umarex really knocked it out of the park with the Umarex Gauntlet .22 Rifle (also available in .177 and .25) and today we’ll take a look at the various important features of the .22 caliber model as well as some results at 50 yards. If you’ve been waiting for the right time to get into PCP airgunning, it has arrived!

Man it’s a great time to be an airgunner!!!

I recall a $600.00 after market regulator being ones only choice, if you could w a i t.

Any chance umarex has thought to order spare tank mounted ( Like a QB79 right?) barrel bands as the .25 appears to wear?

My .177 does not need one but many seem to want them.

The only complaint I have about this one is you really cant re-sell a sub $300.00 airgun and I'll be needing a .25 gauntlet as soon as they start shipping.

Ant date on the .25?

I knew when this rifle was announced at Shot Show 2017 that the Gauntlet was going to be a game changer. I think they have done an excellent job in shattering one of the largest hurdles for the new perspective PCP buyer and that was they made it affordable to get in the game.

The part that is just not talked about enough is that not only is the person in the game they can seriously compete as the Gauntlet out of the box is very accurate with off the shelf affordable pellets like Crosman Premier domes or Hollow points at $9 for 500.

Look at what at what my tweaked and perfectly adjust Gaunty does at 70 Yards.

I spoke with Umarex USA and they said that the original date of "Late Summer 2018" is being held to and they do not anticipate the date being pushed back.

Thanks
