100ft pounds!!!!!!! $400 Bucks.......... Enough said. Iam buying one 🎯💯👍

[@martinfrenandez7350]

After 200 rounds through the barrel those groups will really tighten up, that was what has happened with my Eagle Claw .25 carbine using Griffen 44gr HP/HB/BT. I'm only getting 1.5 mags out of the box, filled to 180bar , overall I'm very pleased as it is great for hunting! When I see the Gauntlet #2 30 cal. I'm still happy with my choice because weight is extremly important when walking around carrying the rifle and the FPE can also be increased with a tune.

[@n54kris73]

Hoe can the fpe be increased?

[@makerofmanythings8447]

Well dang it, now I need another airgun!!!😂

[@gmsantafeairgunner2169]

I was waiting for the review on that 30 cal thanks Rick

[@romeoalphafoxtrot9517]

So I have a problem here. I bought a .22 G2. The first one was a leaker. I returned it. The replacement held air fine. Also, every single screw on this gun wasn't even hand tight! Piss poor quality control! Really? Then it would get flyers all the time. I put a Hajimoto Baffle Stack and High Performance Air Stripper and vented the shroud with a diffusor. Now it shoots pretty good. The problem is it will only group with JSB Redesigns and FX 25.39 pellets. Anything else, forget about it! It will group on a calm day, about 3/4" at 50 yards. Not bad. OK. I tried every Slug I could get my hands on. Forget it! None of them grouped worth a dang. Complete waste of time and money. Fast forward to this "epic" .30 Gauntlet. Yea, it shoots pellets pretty good, but the only way to chamber slugs appears to be taking a hammer to the bolt and drive it home! 100% Epic fail in my opinion! WTF were these people at Umarex thinking when they released this rifle? They had better straighten this SNAFU out and get it right like yesterday. Seriously, this rifle should chamber slugs easily, and group them sub MOA at 100 yards at will. Anything less is completely unacceptable! Get with the program Umarex! You know better than that! Maybe if you do, people will buy this gun. Your quality control needs to improve big time! It stinks right now! What are you going to do about it? Honestly I own a G1 Gauntlet .25 and this G2 .22 and I really think you seriously let everyone down with your poor quality control!

[@milesstover3724]

when i want big power i reach for my modified Benjamin Bulldog 357....but this rifle gets my attention too

[@jessicabenson9017]

Between being brand new and in the break in period as you said yourself and throw in that serious wind you had going on I think it performed really well

[@calebchristensen900]

Honestly wish TPWD would change the regs and allow those mid lower high fpe guns for furbearers and turkey. 85-120lbs is plenty for those 15-35 lb critters. Even with body shots.

[@bucsam1660]

Hey Caleb, im in the Hill Country, I totally agree with you, I'd like to use it on coons, coyotes...

[@calebchristensen900]

@@bucsam1660 If the law allowed it. I could get a few friends and go up and down the lower Colorado and fill a boat with nutria in a day. I remember from the late '00s and early '10s them being all up and down the river south of Austin.

[@bladimirkroutska3707]

Rick,you are either getting rusty or that .30 cal was faulty from the factory. There are three videos in youtube as we speak,and all shooters are getting most of the pellets in one hole,at least at 50yards.

[@jedharris478]

Just about able to pull the trigger on one of these, and working with Hajimoto Productions on a couple mods for it. Should be able to get some pigs for the freezer come the first good cold snap this fall.

[@FlashFloof]

I hate how the title doesn't match the video. Ok it's a great hunting rifle? Then proceeds to shoot from the bench......😮‍💨

[@obedyahujryahuah2454]

Got my G2 30 cal 3 days ago. Shooting 49.5 grain hollow point slugs and can cover 5 shots at 100 yards with a half dollar and and dropping mice at 50 yards. 98 dB my loudest. Can’t wait for them coyote to show up wanting a chicken dinner.

Still freaking love it!!!

[@peanutbutterthunder88]

@@MadDestructionChaos thanks man! Thinking about pulling the trigger and buying one! No pun intended. Did you have leak issues at all? And have you hunted anything decently sized with it at all? Sorry for all the questions man!

[@MadDestructionChaos]

@@peanutbutterthunder88 I put some teflon tape over threads off bottle. I haven't had any leak issues. It's a laser for accuracy. I'm shooting Griffin boattail slugs. .73 grains I believe, from 50 yards quarter size accuracy. Huge raccoon from about 35 yards out. head shot. Drilled him. The stock pellets are very accurate too. 75 yard shot on a black bird, first shot. I purchased a donnie fl s u pressor. hard to find but really quiets the air rifle. I got the hunting package with tripod. heavy air rifle. But very POWERFUL!!! Many mods.

Can you put a suppressor on this gun.

[@alexjavanainen4259]

I’ve pre-ordered this gun 1-2 months ago, not expected to get it for another month…how did these KZbinrs get it so early?

[@AirGunWeb]

Umarex air freighted some in and gets them out to influencers ahead of general availability. This is typically the case. Just a note, part 2 comes out tomorrow as we tested the new G2 .30 with some slugs. Cheers AGW

[@alexjavanainen4259]

@@AirGunWeb thank you for that. Will be looking forward to the video. Based on the market for .30cal slugs, I’m guessing fx hybrid hollow points? Really curious to see if they fit/performance. Seems to be solid air rifle overall though. I’m used to real firearms but wanted to save on .22lr/ have the ability to suppress without nfa paperwork

[@bayonne]

Have you tested any moderators on this gun? If so, which one worked best to quiet it down?

[@MadDestructionChaos]

I have one coming in for mine. I will try to remember to comment back on this.... I need it to be quiet... LOL! But if I can't settle her down some, well then, she can stay loud!! LOL!

[@bayonne]

@@MadDestructionChaos Wayne I bought a DonnyFL Ronin for my Gauntlet .30 on the recommendation of Hajimoto. Haji said the Gauntlet .30 could overpower a lot of moderators and you need one big enough that could handle the large volume of air blast from the gauntlet. - It works good - but still not quiet. I'm tempted to try an Impulse Air 1350 and add a couple extra baffles to it. They make a very good supressor.

[@MadDestructionChaos]

@@bayonne I just got the DonnyFL FX, they didn't have any Sumo's left in stock. With that being said, I attached the moderator to my g30 and I CAN'T believe the difference! it's not break barrel quiet, but it's a very noticeable difference. my gf is in the house and she's doing her thing, I shot a few times in the back yard and she barely heard anything! I am very impressed with how much of a joy shooting this is with the noise reduction. No more loud sharp echo, crack sound. Just a laser like sound with the low bass shot noise rather than a 22 lr shot noise. I'm sure a bigger one would be better. I'll reply on how things hold up after 100 shots.

[@siddarthaone7355]

Does your elevation affect pcp rifles…?

[@DrAgan_tortojed]

Yes. Unlike with the brake-barrels, when the cylinder is pumped-up to the certain value, that's what you got in terms of pressure with which the pellet is launched, no matter what altitude you're at. Now, the (relatively) high altitude means that the projectile (pellet, slug, bb...) will be flying through the "thinner" (rarefied) air, thus being confronted with less resistance. And vice versa. However, I strongly doubt that these differences will be greater than just few fps down and up within the range between the sea level and, say, 2 miles above the sea. Also, keep in mind that, generally, the higher altitude means more wind, so the accuracy ("windage") will probably be worse there than at the sea level if you're hunting/shooting in the open.

Thanks Rick, Another knowledgeable video ! This gun in .30cal. would be my only choice ! Thinking about it for a coyote gun, using it at a consistent range of 100yrds. would like to know your thoughts on this application Rick ? By the way, have unfortunately lost all of my contacts on my phone and have no way to get in contact with you Rick. Re: Evanix, if you can, can you please email me ? I tried to reach you through Pyramid Air, but the young lady said she had no idea who you were ! Ugh !
