Until the Umarex Gauntlet came along, tack-driving pre-charged pneumatic air rifles were classified as expensive. The Gauntlet made the world of precision airgun shooting attainable with a ton of usable features. The most impressive being its consistent number of rounds from one fill of its 13 cubic inch tank-70 shots from the .177 caliber and 60 from the .22! To maximize its accuracy capability, the 10-round capacity Gauntlet is well-balanced and has an integral 11 mm dovetail rail for scope mounting. The easily adjustable comb is moved by the turn of a knob and locks into position for the ideal cheek weld, whatever your physique or optic choice. Its fully moderated design means the Gauntlet is incredibly quiet. Both stealthy backyard plinkers, pest controllers, and serious hunters benefit from its ability to provide rapid, near-silent, full-power follow-up shots. A 3,000 psi hand pump can be a workout, but it's well worth it. Just keep it topped off after every magazine or two. You can also use an electric high pressure air pump. SCBA and carbon fiber tanks are also great options if you have access to filling stations such as scuba or paintball shops. The 10-round rotary mag is easy to load. Just rotate the clear plate clockwise until it stops. Place your finger under the first pellet chamber and insert a pellet. Rotate the clear plate counterclockwise and load the remaining pellet chambers. No need to keep your finger under the pellet chambers after you've loaded the first pellet.
