Everything, great value, 80 shots on target, one air fill!
Things I would have changed:Better fit on the fore end......but I can live with it :)
What others should know:Nice large bolt handle that is not going to snap off. Very accurate and amazing consistency. I shot 8 10 shot crono strings with one tank of air. String #1 was 823.2 FPS, string #7 was 823.0 FPS between those string 2 was the lowest at 821 FPS and #3 was the fastest @835.9 FPS I was using cheap Wal-Mart Crossman pellets, unsorted right out of the can. Better pellets would probably give better results. Oh and all those shots went thru a single hole about 3/8" in diameter.

Nothing
Things I would have changed:Received Gauntlet with 35lb bolt action. I measured it. Never fired or aired up. Sent it back for a refund and Pyramid Air sent another that I didn't want based on my experience with the first one. The replacement is exactly the same. Working on a return for the second one. With a 35lb bolt it isn't usable. A cheap rifle should still work, otherwise it is just a pile of junk.
What others should know:Will consider doing business with Pyramyd Air again but no more Umarex junk. No rating for accuracy as neither were ever fired. Don't waste your time and money.

The best thing about this rifle is the accuracy. I have shot 3-4 inch 5 shot groups at 100 yds with these guns. I have two of them, one in .22 and one in .25. They both shoot great. I did work on the regulators and got them both set to factory specs, 1200 psi and 1900 psi. I also changed the tanks to 22ci. New owners complain about the bolt being hard to cock and they are right but keep oil on it and it will smooth out. With the price of these at $230 you can’t go wrong. If you’re thinking about getting into the pcp world now is the time, you won’t regret buying one of these. I have an FX wildcat that I paid 7 times more for than my gauntlets and I shoot the gauntlets more. With the price as low as it is on the gen 1’s there’s no excuse to not buy one
Things I would have changed:I changed the tanks to 22 cubic inches to get a higher shot count. My count with the 13 cubic inch tank on the .22 cal was 60 and now it’s about 90.
What others should know:Go buy one, clean it, and shoot it you’ll love it.

Very accurate rifle right from the box. Price is low. Includes a single shot tray and a single magazine and BOTH work well.
Things I would have changed:Swivel studs for a sling are too close to be very useful. Cocking is very stiff - Would work better with a lever action like my AT-44 rifle has. It also has a lot of trigger take up travel to get to the firing point. Would be better with adjustments to the trigger that can be accessed without having to take the gun apart.
What others should know:Overall this gun in .25 cal is a track driver anywhere from 20-60 yards using a Benjamin 27.8 grn pellet. I have already taken 2 coyotes at 60 yards out with a single shot at night using a Pard DS35 LRF night scope. For those of you who have the Pard DS35 LRF scope and the .25 version using the Benjamin 27.8 grn pellets I have the ballistic calculator set to a coefficient of 0.036 for this round and it can drive a tack from 20 to 60 yards. That rounds muzzle velocity for me comes in at 875 FPS... This is a heavy rifle to begin with and using a scope such as above it comes in at right around 10 pounds total. It is manageable for a grown man but a younger person MAY find it too heavy, and cocking it too difficult for them...

It seems to be a good accurate rifle, shoots tight groups if hold it steady. It has been very enjoyable to shoot.
Things I would have changed:The bolt is a bit stiff at first, but tends to move easier with use. I must admit I have only fires a dozen round as yet, but now i noticed that after that dozen shots my tank pressure has dropped to just above 2000 psi. I am trying to get help from PyramidAir but the or closed on weekends so will see what happens next.
What others should know:Seek out reviews and customer reviews. I went with an electric pump after watching a few videos where a hand pump was used. The only reson I did not give this rifle a five star overall rating is due to the slow leak it has.

I'm throwing down the Gauntlet! Or should I say, I'm picking up the Gauntlet and really really liking it :-) I've been a break barrel guy for a looooong time. Thought I would check out the pcp side, did some research and ended up with the Gauntlet. The synthetic stock does NOT feel cheap/hollow. It feels substantial in hands, which i wad a little worried about initially. Great trigger out of the box, and its further adjustable. I went with the .22 and it's an absolute tack driver, hole in hole with JSB 18.13gr, absolutely incredible. Very smooth shooting, I can actually see my shots as I'm shooting on paper. I did have an initial issue with first hand pump fill, was building up pressure at the pump, but not opening the fill valve to let air in. Went online and read that firing a shot or two before the fill might help open the valve for filling. It did and now filling up every time with no issue. The bolt is a little stiff, but use thumb leverage, all is good!!
Things I would have changed:For the $$$$ and then some, this thing is a BEAST. No changes needed IMO.
What others should know:If you're on the fence, get off and buy one!

Great Airgun - New pricing I still love it after 4 years and have done numerous mods which have been cheap and easy. Gun is currently setup to shoot JSB 15.89 at 900fps. This produces sub moa out to 50yds. Many parts are from the QB airgun line. (I have a QB78D and like it for its' accuracy) The trigger of the Gauntlet is an excellent design but mine needed a little cleaning and polishing. The trigger is a "drop sear" design which is great in that it is adjustable and is not affected by the weight of the hammer spring.(A heavier hammer spring does not affect trigger pull) I probably spent about $100 setting mine up the way I wanted it. Larger air tank, bipod mod, hammer spring adjuster, unneeded and unused forward barrel band. Sub MOA, 30 FPE, refined trigger, 80 regulated shots per fill - sweet!! Another plus is that it uses Marauder mags which are both cheap and reliable.
Things I would have changed:My Gauntlet is an early version and I think quality control then was not as good as now. Early QC problems were poorly finished breech lead( zero cost fix) heavy hammer spring(cheap fix). Some early units had poorly fitted muzzle deflectors which affected accuracy - mine didn't, it was accurate from the start. If Umarex wouldn't replace it, they cost about $25
What others should know:This gun may not suit everyone as it comes out of the box. But, it is a tinkerers delight. Mods are cheap and easy. Current pricing is typical for a model about to be discontinued - if interested better buy now

Accurate, cheap to shoot with Crossman Premier .22 cal Hollow Point 14.3 gr pellets.
Things I would have changed:Umarex Service dept if service is needed & quality control.
What others should know:Have 6 Umarex products. 4 of those 6 Umarex products had to be sent in for repairs or had to make repairs myself. This is the 3rd Gauntlet.22 cal I purchased before I got one that almost worked from factory. All were new. First one wouldn't air up. Second one worked ok & was doing well with it. Shot pellet & it dumped all air out of the tank at end of shot. Pyramid put this on sale after I said no more Umarex. Tried one last time with fingers crossed. No major problems yet.

I love the 25cal Gauntlet. This thing is great. Its extremely accurate and consistent. it really likes JSB 2539s. The grip feels really nice. Its a thinner grip than the tree trunk on the Avenger (Im 6ft and not small hands). The trigger isnt that bad either. Its long and you can feel the trigger spring crunchin a little right before the break. It looks badazz. !!!!!!First Gen Gauntlet is KING!!!!!, Second Gen Gauntlet is JUNK. A little 1stGen loyalist humor. Ha Ha Ha! It really does suck when compared to 1stGen
Things I would have changed:I would lose that heavy bottle for a cylinder type tank. Like the one on the Avenger. The safety sucks, I dont even know how it works with the bolt cock. I think I broke through mine?? It should come standard with iron sights. I would offer them in choice of colors. They cant change the black to friggin ODG or FDE for cryin out loud, c'mon?
What others should know:When my Gauntlet arrived, every edge and the entire seam had a very sharp edge on it. I had to use a nail sander to remove it. These edges/seams were sharp enough to probably cut you, seriously. The bolt is rough. Hold it towards the inner part of the handle and that will make cocking it a little easier. It gets a little better with use. Theres some side2side in the trigger. Its not loose and jiggly and you dont notice it while shooting, but its there. This thing is Loud. Not backyard friendly at all. This rifle shoots Amazing out of the box. DO NOT think that if you buy this rifle youll have to buy all the Haji upgrades for it to shoot accurately. You dont need anything else. Just air, a scope and good pellets. This is a Great rifle and I have NO REGERTS(lol) about buying it. Get the 10for10 so you get it checked out before you receive it. That way you know theres no leaks and it fires correctly.

It is cheap and reasonably accurate. Good intro to PCP air guns.
Things I would have changed:It feels and sounds just as cheap as you'd expect. The bolt is stiff to pull back and anything but smooth. You have to ram it forward to chamber a round which bruises your palm after 30 or so shots. It also sounds like a fart when firing (multiple hammer re-strikes).
What others should know:If you are a tinkerer, this gun is a great starter. From the crappy trigger to the multiple hammer re-strikes, this gun is ready for upgrading by a tinkerer. Accuracy is surprisingly good, however, so if you are a targeting nut, this will work for you. If you are looking to get into PCP airguns cheaply, this will do. However, the Gen 2 has improved many of the problems and is probably worth the extra money.

I ordered a Gauntlet for Christmas and it shipped promptly. I excitedly opened and did all the prep work to start shooting. I had researched the Gauntlet and felt it was a rifle I would love. It was supposed to be very accurate and lots of shot count per fill. Unfortunately the rifle I received was defective. I called Pyramyd air and they walked me through the return procedures. I was afraid that the info I had heard about the Gauntlet was hype not reality but I ask for a replacement. It took a while because it was the Christmas season but I eventually received the new rifle. I again proceeded to prepare the rifle to shoot and Wow it really is an amazing rifle. The accuracy isn't just hype. 5 shots to zero in and after that at 25 yards it's pellet in same pellet hole every time. Same result with different pellets so not pellet picky. I was expecting a decent rifle but not an exceptional one. Really glad I bought it.
Things I would have changed:It would be nice if it was tunable it increase the power but it is still an excellent rifle for the price.
What others should know:You can shoot inexpensive pellets and receive excellent results which is a huge plus in my opinion.
