    Umarex Gauntlet

    $300 regulated.

    Reveiled at Shot show 2017.

    I think it is full power Uk.

    A bit like an R10 by the looks of it with a small bottle at the front.

    Anybody have any more info?

    Could be a real low cost winner to get people into the sport.

    They are hoping to get them out in europe in a couple of months, already selling out all over in USA

    All the reviews I have seen are favourable

    If it lives up to the hype they are putting on it, it could be a real game changer for entry level PCP shooters with pinpoint accuracy

    Can't wait

    They are pushing the pellet on pellet accuracy and a 300bar tank, this coupled with a multi shot capability, regulator, and a sweet price point (expect around £400 in the UK I guess) it should prove to be a winner

    Not seen any in-depth accuracy tests with it yet, as I guess it is still riding the hype wave

    No doubt it will have some shortcomings (really hope not though) so time will tell

    They have said the UK should be getting a 11ft/lbs version, but I don't expect anything realistic until the summer, which gives us plenty of time to read the reviews from the USA

    Looks like a shrouded barrel as well?

    Forgot to mention that, apparently it is whisper quiet as well

    All sounds too good to be true doesn't it

    And free floating, though it isn't 'pretty' is it ?!

    We seem to be moving away from pretty air rifles.
    Or should I say elegant.

    Yes, perhaps a better description

    If it is up to the job I don't mind it being a bit of a Heath Robinson
