Umarex Gauntlet Sets New Standard


FORT SMITH, Ark – Umarex USA Inc. announces a major breakthrough in regulated Pre-Charged Pneumatic (PCP) air rifles: the Umarex® Gauntlet™. Gauntlet offers the performance of $1,000+ PCPs for an MSRP of just $299.The Umarex Gauntlet provides a huge number of consistent, powerful shots from one fill of its high capacity 13-cu. in. regulated tank. The built-in regulator delivers minimal FPS variation from shot-to-shot for long, flat shot strings—this translates directly into outstanding accuracy for hunting, Field Target competition and just-for-fun plinking.

With 70 incredibly consistent shots at 1000 FPS in .177 caliber, or 60 shots at 900 FPS in .22 caliber, the Umarex Gauntlet is truly in a class of its own. No longer do shooters need to worry about variations in FPS due to changing tank pressure—the “shot curve” characteristic of unregulated PCP airguns. As long as the built-in pressure gauge shows green, Gauntlet’s regulator means FPS remains rock-steady. Read more
