Description

The Umarex Gauntlet SL PCP Air Rifle is the eagerly-anticipated updated side lever version of the airgun that helped set a new standard for affordable accuracy and power. This model has the necessary power for pest control and small game hunting.

The improvement shooters will appreciate the most is the larger air tank, with 24 cubic inches of volume, and higher fill and regulator pressure. These increases lead to more shots and more power compared to the older model.

The new sidelever action features a large knurled handle with and makes cocking easier than ever! The all-weather synthetic stock has been redesigned to make it lighter and more compact. Despite the added power and shots, the air rifle is now quieter when shooting due to a four baffle design that reduces the sound of a shot by 8 dB over the original Gauntlet.

For adding a scope, the Gauntlet SL features a picatinny optics rail, and there are also M-LOK slots on both sides and the bottom of the forearm for mounting accessories such as lights, lasers, and bipods. To get an air rifle that provides ample power and accuracy for small-game hunting and pest control while remaining surprisingly budget-friendly, buy an Umarex Gauntlet SL PCP Air Rifle today at Pyramyd AIR.

Price point, power, Easy loading and shooting

Add more barrel support, better quality regulators

This thing is heavy you will most likely be shooting off a bench or off a bipod to shoot accurately, also invest in a cheap air compressor. For my first big bore airgun it's not a bad deal, accurate to 100 yards or more depending on your ability and setup. I got this with the sole purpose of predator hunting with. After running the numbers I can say this will kill a coyote out to 200 yards with a well placed shot but that level of accuracy is difficult to maintain without modding. If you're looking a predator or hog gun that will cover 100 yards or less this will do so with little to no issue, use a moderator cause this is about as loud as a 22 magnum rifle.

All is OK so far. Paid for the 10 for 10 and the 24 hr. leak test , and that's working out satisfactorily. Mounted a 3x9 bug buster scope and just got a BuckRail suppressor. Cuts down the noise and air blast, 30 cal. afterall, a fair amount, but needs more suppressor volume. At least now I can get the scope zeroed up a bit. A work in progress but happy enough at this point. It is a BIG and HEAVY rifle as was expected. Now to work on noise and accuracy.

Not much at this point.

Don't know about the accuracy. Expect big, heavy, and noisey in 30 cal. Still like it a lot.

I liked the price for a 30 cal. airgun. Regulated and with a side lever. Haven't done much yet as it is quite loud. Looking for a suppressor. Shot off 3 shots indoors into a trap and it blew papers all over the place. Seemed to cycle well. Paid for the extra leak test and it holds air so far. Looking forward to sighting it in after attaching a scope and getting a suppressor. Good so far.

Too early to say much. It would be nice if it was a bit quieter. It's very large and heavy, all to be expected for what it is.

I'm ordering a BuckRail suppressor as a starter, not expecting total quiet, and will go from there. Will end up needing something really big to be backyard friendly.

I put the buckrail on mine and it is definitely backyard friendly!!!

Benjamin Dec 19, 2024

I have and use four BR cans for .177 and .22 and while great for the price I would not rely on the universal 1/2-20. If anything at a bare minimum the modular suppressor he offers is the lowest offering I'm comfortable with on the gauntlet as it's built very well. I have used it so far on my gauntlet and it delivers somewhat but not nearly enough. I have noticed after multiple shots the individual baffles start to work loose and need to be tightened. You also CANNOT use thread locking compound on plastics or poly materials. You can... but only once! I invested in a Donnyfl Ronin specifically for taming this beast and cannot praise it enough. With the power output of the gauntlet a composite can just isn't something to mess with. Expensive the Donnyfl cans are yes but worth the investment hands down from a functional and safety aspect.

For the money, everything as it's a real value for a big bore air rifle.

At the price point, physically not much... I would say tighter QC could and should be managed. However all the popular "budget" rifles are very likely produced in the same factory in you know where so is what it is. Overall I don't have much to gripe about.

For becoming indoctrinated into the big bore game I'd say the gauntlet is the ticket, hard to beat. I like to tinker and make my guns smoother than the factory delivers and this rifle is no exception out of the box. With knowledge and mechanical abilities the budget PCP guns can be made into some VERY nice and respectable rifles. It shot great before, but now it's a one hole death star from 50 yards with 44.75gr JSB's. The power output from this gun is absolutely incredible as is the accuracy and I cannot wait to get my Griffin slugs! My main goal was to build a dedicated yote platform and I have decided the gauntlet without a doubt is going to be a coyote hammer. Overall, exceptional package for the price and hard to beat! Grab one, spruce it up and sling some lead! Oh, you'll 100% need a moderator for taming this beast, not backyard friendly in any way and have a good backstop or pellet trap. 100+ ftlbs of energy is not a joke and should be respected.

Very nice looking gun. The slide leaver is very nice and easy to operate. And it shoots like a laser beam.

It's a little bit on the heavy side. But I don't know how you would improve on that and keep the quality the same.

Right out of the box this .30 cal is accurate. Loved it so much bought another one for my dad. A bit on the loud side if you like to make a day of backyard shooting, but a quick look on buckrail.com and got a moderator for 40 bucks now she's backyard friendly. Super quick shipping from pyramydair and packed properly same for their ammo.

Nothing

For the ones having issues with the tank leaking, do your research make sure lever is pulled back when filling it and fill it up all the way to 4500psi that first fill up to seat the orings properly.

It is very accurate and it's super easy to mount accessories with all the M-lock and rails.

It should have a better regulator setup.

I've had mine for just over two years and it looks like I'll be spending several hundred bucks if I decide to keep it going. I've had regulator problems 4 times over the past 2 years. It went back to the factory to correct a problem with the regulator. Then I had a leak problem with the regulator. Then the regulator stopped allowing air through it. Today, I removed the regulator to replace it and the threads on the tank have galled. in all fairness, some of the regulator issue could be due to moisture from my cheap compressor. I ordered a much better compressor, but needless to say, I am frustrated.

I have the gauntlet2 sl .22, I've been haven a problem with it now shooting, in weather that's colder than 40

Oil water separator that's what you need. It doesn't matter how much the compressor cost.

For the price it delivers the power and accuracy of other pcp that cost over a thousand dollars. The customer service is a great help if something major goes on with uramex.

Id change for a better regular. It is a little problematic with air leaks or valves sticking.

It's a great pcp for the power and accuracy with customizations is great .you will need a moderator if u need it to be quite for backyards.

Reese Dec 26, 2024

I hope it's still going good. Unfortunately sometimes you can get one with a defect.

Sandy Oct 10, 2024

I've never had regulator issues on my SL30
