Watch & Discuss the Umarex Gauntlet .25!

Surprised the trigger can be adjusted to just 1lb a little over. How about the rough and hard cocking problem? Could there be any remedy to smooth it out?

Good gun accurate with power

I have the 177&.22 so it would only be right for me to win this gun lol . No but seriously I own all three calibers and I love them .

Liked the video this had been a gun that I was not sure about. Glad that you reviewed it. I think it is a quality gun for the price.

Great video Steve. 

It was nice to meet you at EBR last year. I subscribed to your channel and viwed a number of your productions - very good quality. 



As for the Gauntlet, the trigger remains the sore spot, as we well know :-(

I've had my eye on this rifle for a while! I say it does a very good job for the money!!

I would love to try this out in Colorado. We have a 25 caliber PCP minimum requirement 4 airgun hunting.

Love my 25 Cal Gauntlet. So far only shot out to 50 yards , but was able to get dime size groups with 35 grain JSBs. Thanks Steve also order a Donny Fl for it as well. 158.00

A .25 would be nice for sure.

Member I already have one fantastic little rifle I'd like to have another to keep as close to factory as possible

Nice review Steve! What is your impression on the usefulness of the barrel band? Do you believe that it would be worth buying one for the .177/.22 versions? I had heard that the part could be added to existing guns, true? Would you happen to know if I could put my .22 barrel in this gun without changing anything? The port is already opened up. I am thinking this would get the .22 heavy JSBs shooting really well too. Thanks for the work you do.

You're welcome. I suspect this has more to do with maintaining barrel alignment in the event of a bump than improving accuracy. The world's most accurate airguns don't use barrel bands. Check out Hajimoto's channel for your question on the barrel fitment. I recall him telling me that the .25 barrel is the same outer diameter as the others. Steve

In the review is the stiffness of the cocking and cycling going to be something and end user would experience over the life of the gun, or is it likely much of that, along with other "rough edges" would break in over time?

I suspect it would but I'd be sure to add some molybdenum to keep the galling from becoming excessive. Steve

Isn't that about the same size group you got with that overpriced $1500 .25 cal air arms rifle last month? Lookout high end builders, you need a new scam

In my experience, dollars in the airgun industry don't really chase accuracy.

More money tends to get ya more features, amenities, refinement, shot count, adjustability, quality, consistency of quality from batch to batch, warranty, and to some degree accuracy & consistency of accuracy. Most all PCP airguns regardless of cost seem to want to shoot around half inch at 50 and sub 2" at 100. 

Accuracy is just one piece of the ownership experience.

Hajimoto could speak to this more, but a disassemble-clean-polish-lube on the trigger and cocking mechanism would probably go a long way. Steve

Great review Steve.

Umarex is the go to brand for value air guns.

I can't wait for someone to review the Umarex Synergis. An underlever, multi-shot magazine fed air rifle for only $159.95!

Great vid, and awesome rifle for the price!!!

Great video Steve. Thanks. Looks like this would make a great critter dispatcher.

Would also like to thank all the sponsors.

For that price its a nice airgun and honestly it did better then I thought it would.
