Just received my G2 30 cal last week. I had no issue removing the tank. like any other PCP gun I own, once the unit was completely de-gassed the tank was loose.
I too love how this sounds like a firearm. This video sound quality does no justice for how loud this gun fires! I have a Donnyfl Sumo and it substantially reduces the muzzle blast if anyone is concerned about noise.
My Gauntlet shot the JSB exact 44.75 highly accurate at 50 yards, less than 1/2" group. I also tried out NSA slugs. I bought the 4 lowest grain weight slugs available and the 43.8 shot best (.75 group at 50yds) and the grouping declined as I went up in weight to the 54.5s, also as I went up in weight the slugs were increasingly more difficult to chamber the round which may have affected/deformed the slug. I have yet to do 100 yard tests, soon though sometime this week
I got the 54,and 65 grain slugs. And a 100 43 grains.
@@lastpro4438 how do the higher weight ones chamber for you? I gradually struggled more as I increased in weight.
What numbers were you getting, energy and velocity? I'm wanting to break that 100ftlb mark, and 44.75gr just barely missed the mark.
Rick that Gauntlet 2 .30 cal is a beast. Nice video
Yeah that .30 cal is awesome , and yes do slugs next
Man! That thing is a beast. You knocked the target out. Lol! Good job Rick!
As soon as a full tank of gas doesn't cost the same amount as the evanix cloud, I'm getting this gun.
Rick, A quick fix for gun vise and table slippage is small pieces of sand paper folded back creating to rough, connected surfaces and is cheap and easy.
I have a modified G1 in .25 and avg mid to upper 900 fps with a 25+gr.... can hardly wait to get my .30 it's coming soon...Great video I like the No bull shit approach like so many others. Keep up the Good Work.
I believe dba numbers are important to know for people who live in a denser populations. I haven’t really seen a video on just this topic alone. They are usually about the dba of different moderators, not sound distances from said moderators. Thanks for the cool video .
Cool been waiting for this 🎯👍
I added a barrel band on mine from hajimoto and now I can shoot 1/2 groups at 100 yards I also have the DonnyFL sumo on it with a 5-25X50 FFP scope. I also adjusted the trigger way too much creep on it stock. I sighted it in in 4 shots at 100 yds with 49.9 grain slugs from Neilson specialty ammo.
Will this particular rifle shoot accurately at 150yds enough to hit a deer 🦌 in head & enough fpe to penetrate the skull ?
Oh man, this video was cool! Dropped the target down at 100yds: way cooler!
Simple solution to the shooting Vice moving like it is . If the table belongs to you then bolt two pieces of 1x4” boards to the table . Each board should have a 1” hole in them . Set the gun Vice front feet into the holes to help hold the Vice steady . You can use c-clamps if you don’t wish to drill holes in the shooting bench top . I actually use a gun cleaning Vice with storage tray under the gun rest . This cleaning Vice has four anti slip rubber pads to keep it from sliding around. I adjust the front gun rest to a certain position and place a towel in the rear gun rest to cradle the stock which stabilizes the gun from any of my body movements. It’s nice to see every slug or pellet to go through the same hole every time .
if you're pulling the shots on that sled, how you got shoot straight when u hunting in da field homie? u needs ta tie her down with sum ratchet straps! Great 100yards!
Rick needs one of your A Tac Chassis setups for the G2 .30 It will drop 2.5 lbs. off of that boat anchor!
Not saying, but I'm just saying. ;-)
Ratchet straps 😂
Definitely a slug gun. Iam buying one. 🎯💯
I just ordered mine. Great video.
What shooting rest are you using?
I use the sniper brand scope 4-16x52 . I love this type scope . The eyepiece reticle is adjustable to suit the vision in your dominant eye . The cross hairs can be illuminated under low light situations. The Sniper scope comes with a eight inch tube with a shade anti reflective lense cover . That eliminates the suns Reflective flash down range while hunting.
Soon as I get my recluse back in action since I can't buy a new plug and it leaks air cuz the plugs is plastic and broke! I'm getting one of these bad dudes! Can't wait till umarex has a .357 I can deer hunt with!
Thank you for another learning video I like the 30 but I need a hog contract first before I can justify it. On other note what type of shade screen is that is it one see through or just a shade cloth thanks again for the video
Rick don’t place your hands over the muzzle with a breached pellet 😂
Damn, That is a hell of an air rifle.
No offense but you only have a super limited 30 ammo choice there so 25 yards is literally a waste of time and ammo with that gun
Check every skit on the Diablos heavy. Any slight malformed skirts will throw it off bad .
As a newb to air guns I found “Grip it and rip it Man’s gun” and comments about recoil hilarious. This may be a powerful air rifle but to powder burner firearm’s guy this is barely .22 long rifle territory.
Hey Rick!
Another excellent video!!!
Do you think that the Hunter Kit Gauntlet 2 in .22 is sufficient for taking Coyote, Deer, Feral Hog, Gators, or Wolves with .22 heavy slugs? Or do you think that .30 is not only better, but the minimum fpe and accuracy to make a humane harvest?
I think that the .22 should be sufficient and probably more accurate in a 40 grain cast soft lead slug since it should have a better bc than a skirted pellet or even a comparable 30 caliber pellet. Maybe not as good as a .30 heavy cast lead slug. But inside of 100 yards, and only taking head/inside the ear hole shots should be sufficient.
The reason why I am asking is because I already have 4 Gamo Swarm Magnum Gen 3i .22 airguns and would like to stick with the .22 to keep my ammo/caliber selection simple and to save money on equipment and ammo.
I already plan on getting rid of my .177 pellet guns and was thinking that if I plan on getting a high powered PCP airgun, I would probably just move up to .50 and hunt with both pellets/slugs, and arrows/bolts.
Thanks again.
Stay Safe, Be Well, God Bless.
Check with your fish and game regulations to see what caliber/for requirements your state has. Some states have just caliber minimum requirements, other states have caliber AND fpe minimum requirements. For example, Alabama has a minimum requirement of .30 caliber for coyote, feral pigs and deer. Just play it safe and check with your home state's regulations.
@@jedharris478 Thanks for your reply. That is exactly what I need to know and I didn't even know to ask.
@@kenfan5666 you're good. I had the same question and asked Jim Chapman and got pretty much the same answer. Unfortunately, not all states are on the same page, so you'll just have to play by each state's rules on a case by case basis.
@@jedharris478 Happy Hunting.
Stay Safe, Be Well, God Bless.
Lots of complaints to Gamo.
Gamo advises not to store with air in it!!!
Say what???
Just saying
where are you shooting at? Is it public or private? I am looking for a place in west Texas to shoot. Thanks
A New Life
Hey Rick ...Thanks for the vid.I have The Umarex Hammer,Gauntlet .25 and the Gauntlet .30 as well as The Umarex Ready air to fill these and other PCP's that I own...but the Umarex Ready Air won't fill my Umrex.30 cal"properly attached ..heck it won't even move the needle on the tank when I try to fill it...What am I doing wrong...if you or anyone in the comments can give advice it would be greatly appreciated
I have no idea about the compressor, I'm new to air rifles & am wondering about the max distance u can accurately shoot the HAMMER ???
Those pellets that you are using aren't slugs
Are spare tanks available???
Your in TEXAS put that gauntlet on some wild hogs.....NO GROUND SQUIRRELS/OR PIERRE DOGS, NO DOVES OR PEGION lol 😆 we know what it does on small game.....cone rick you can do it....... does polymags fit the magazine
I'm thinking more in the line of some south of the border Coyotes
Does this have a plastic scope rail and upper receiver like the Origin?
Bummed my Origin was so much plastic.
Can you do a video on how many fpe it takes to kill squirrels;rabbits;raccoons;deer;and hogs? In 22 caliber,25 caliber,and 30caliber
Sure. It would be a good topic our next live show.
Cheers

So a 4500 air venturi carbon fiber air tank won't fill the gun all the way up to 4500? But the air tank it 4500 why is a compressor needed to fill it all the way?
Hey there. No. Once you open the valve on the tank to fill the gun the pressure deceases in the tank until the two bottles equalize pressure. So if you start at 4500 in your CF tank, regardless of the size difference, you will not get a full fill. You will get close, depending on the volume of your large bottle, but you won’t get 4500.
Cheers

What is the actual bore diameter of gauntlet 2 30 cal.
Maybe it doesn’t like being on the stringer try a bipod or a bag
Hey Rick do y’all have whistle pigs out in west Texas?
Love popping whistle pigs At long ranges!
Are you filling upnto 4500psi
That gun doesn’t like the heavies . Might want to stick with the lighter ones .
Where can I buy a good used first pcp airgun ? Someone
Buy the umarex gauntlet gen 1 .25 cal. I’ve had one for a year and it’s been great. Accurate with slugs and pellets and has enough power to take down anything from squirrels to coyotes. I’ve taken down plenty of squirrels rabbits and coons with it. It’s like $260 on Amazon. Also it’s fairy easy to fill with a hand pump if you don’t want to spend the money for a compressor yet. Hand pumps are all over Amazon some are less than 50 bucks.
Dude rambles a lot.
Really Rick. Test 50yrd with that gun leave the 25 yrd out wasting people's time. We have many videos to watch. We like you but your wasting precious time of our lives we give you. Give pros and cons, shoot show what it'll do. We can't get this time back in our lives, it's precious to us. Get to it. Come on bro!!
