Almost comical, really. Such high quality paired with almost non-existant quality. New 600mm hw100 1:21 twist barrel going on my nova star. I've seen these shoot nsa slugs extremely well. So, we will see.... 
These two do not belong together

Nice! I always thought the higher twist rates don't like slugs? The gauntlet has a high twist rate, wanna say it's the same 1:21, and they don't do well with slugs. Then again, it's an Umarex so accuracy is always questionable

From what I looked at it should be ideal for medium weight 177 slugs. Problem is usually the choke. Leade has to be correct as well.

I'm no Gauntlet fanboy, that 47-inch, 10-pound bolt-action behemoth is something I'll always regret choosing as a first PCP, however, that $310 gun puts JSB 33.95s in a dime-size circle @ 50 yards with such consistency that my big dollar PCPs get embarrassed.

Hell yeah thats nice! It was a beast for sure, but mine lobbed everything in an artillery fashion. A 3" group at 30 was the usual.
