Gauntlet 30

[Keyman62421]

Should be some of these in the field by now. Any reports on accuracy/ long range?

It's way too long and heavy for me. However I've been thinking of those cold windy winter days. If it's a GOOD 30, it's a considerstion. $500, what the hey!

I was considering one but went with the AEA 30 standard. I orderd the 24 in barrel instead of the 32 but it is a wood stock with more power. I
Still need to work with it @ a $100 cheaper.

To me the downfall with the aea is the ski slope shot curve on them. A 100 dollar reg would remedy but then you are at the same price as the G2

Here's my thread. I've been rocking this gun for a couple months or so now.
Yeah it's long and heavy. I had a Guantlet 2 in .25 already though so it was nothing new that I wasn't used to already. I mostly shoot off the bench with it. Have killed a few ground hogs off hand though.
The main thing is for $500 this gun packs the power for 60+ grain slugs and can be tuned down to shoot JSB/FX 45 grainers at 870 fps for some amazing groups on paper. You also get 6 magazines per fill on lower power instead of 3 magazines cranked up to max.

FWIW, Fly, I sold my AEA Challenger 357 to help fund the Guantlet 30 purchase. I may get another "high power" gun in the future, but I really like having something regulated and relatively quiet for the back yard. I find the Guantlet 30 plenty powerful. I also couldn't get good groups with the Challenger easily (stiff trigger and a bit of a kick to it) so I considered that a pure hunting rifle. Gauntlet 30 so far has proven a jack at all trades.

I'm pretty sure once more people get their hands on this gun, there will be more hype about it. I happen to like the bolt action and trigger quite a bit. The bolt action on the 30 is longer than the 22/25 G2 and I find it smoother to actuate as well. But people are going to be showing off how well this groups slugs at 100+ yards and pushing 110 FPE with various ammo. For $500 its a clear winner.

Thanks to kaylaindy here in the classifieds, I got my hands on an early release Umarex Guantlet 2 .30 caliber. Came in the mail today. Mounted a Vortex Crossfire II 6-24x scope and it was a 2 shot sight in at 50 yards. Also put on a DonnyFL "FX" moderator, which is the only one I have in 30...

I am currently waiting for my next check or two before I pull the trigger on one of these, but so far I am impressed beyond belief with all the reviews and results I've been seeing. I do find myself curious as to has anybody tried to put a larger bottle on this gun. I'm looking at a 700cc Tuxing cf bottle, and a adjustable ninja regulator.

@Hajimoto offers a 22 c.i. bottle and a nice Ninja regulator for the Gauntlet.

EDIT: Disregard I didn't realize the Gauntlet 2 had upgraded to a 24ci 4590 psi bottle.

I’ve got the G30! And love it! Out of the box it is great. Yes, some trigger tinkering is needed. But I’ve got literally all play tweaked out producing a crisp clean pull. Polished the barrel cause that’s what I do to all of them.
But out of the box that tells ya it’s a 100 ft lb gun, comes a gun pushing 110-115fpe. I do plan to change to the adjustable red from Hajimoto. Looking for something near 140 fpe once I’m done. Love it!

Can you share pictures of your rig?, I am planning to do the same, I just got my 700cc and a 3000psi fixed reg.

I been thinking about getting one but the weight and length on the gun is too heavy n long for me to walk around in the woods
