Any one know if its cock on open?

Not sure if its cock on open or close but it has a vertical slot cut in the cocking channel at the front and rear of the channel to lock the bolt in the forward or rear position so it could be either one I would guess.

My wild guess is that it cocks open in the same way compatto is..

Does anyone know if the Gauntlet has a one stage or two stage trigger? PA lists it as having a one stage adjustable trigger on their description of the rifle, but list it as an adjustable two stage on the specs.

I think the gun may be based on a QB79 Repeater. If it is, then the trigger may be a one stage trigger that is adjustable for trigger pull weight, sear travel, and trigger travel.

If any of you have any experience with the QB79, your thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I wish all my guns had the QBXX trigger.

Hmm...
-I did not spend all of my "squirrel away" money when I bought my last AG.
- I don't have a .177 pcp
- Have a LOT of .177 pellets that I'm not using since going to the dark side
- Gauntlet not due in till May (enough time to finish testing my Nova)
- Unless I hear some bad reports; I'm on board.
Shhhh.... don't tell the wife ; )

I could not agree more, the Gauntlet could be quite the package at .177 caliber (literally at 8ish pounds w/ out a scope) as I too for some reason have more .177 pellets than any other even though I only have 2 .177 guns

. Got one .25 Hatsan PCP and I have roughly 7-8 tins of pellets for it. Having a .177 like this would be very nice. Though I think I'll wait for some reviews to pop out before plunking down some of my paycheck. I really want this to be a quality air rifle, fingers crossed, it'll either be this or the Benji wildfire. Though I want a big bore so bad, I am starting to feel overloaded watching shot show footage....

I honestly have no problem with hand pumping my two PCPs, Benji at 2000PSI took me 10 minutes to pump up with one break for the pump to cool down. And my 200 BAR (2900 PSI) AT44 takes about 20 minutes with a couple breaks for the pump to cool down. I don't think pumping to 3000PSI would deter me from buying it. I am by no means a "big guy" at 28 years old 5'8" 160 pounds with a "semi-athletic physique" AKA I am somewhat fit with a blossoming beer belly.

LOL
You just described me perfectly.

I want to add a rifle to my PROD, and this seems like a great gun.
But, why not spend the extra money for a bullpup like the Hatsan Bullboss in .22/.25 caliber

BTW it sounds like you got a real nice gun in your signature, love to see a pic. (just not too nice of one I don't wanna drool everywhere for the second time today )

^ hahaha

I would love a Bull boss because I really like my Hatsan AT44, but they cost 650$ I would also love to have a bull-pup style air gun, but if I am gonna get another expensive PCP it'll be a big bore or one of those semi-auto Hatsans shown at the shot show. They're something to look at and are are gorgeous (though I thoroughly expect them to be more than a Bull boss $ wise).

Now this just upsets me......

I just finished my QB79 modifications. Air Venturi repeater kit, Ninja 13ci bottle regulated at 1100, and TKO installed.

And now this comes along?!? Basically a synthetic stock version.....

Just my luck.

Oh well. I'll just purchase one of these as well.

EVO SHIFT that is reallllly nice looking P-rod

. REALLY NICE. I was about to go with a QB project this winter but went with a 2240 project instead, really glad that I did now....Really hope the gauntlet lives up to the hype it is generating. I was about to buy that new synthetic QB also, had it in the cart about to pay and decided against it.

I'm wondering if it will be using the marauder magazine and single shot tray ? Or did the design a new magazine.

Rodeo · « **Reply #91 on:** January 21, 2017, 10:58:59 AM »

Sure looks like a Maurader mag. Would be nice if it does. Readily available, not expensive, known to work well and a lot of people already have Mrods. I saw a video taken at SHOT show (The Airgun Scientist Joe Bracato) in which he mentions a .25 cal version - he even confirms the shot count (eight) with someone off camera (someone working the booth?). Interesting....

If it will be in 25 caliber I will be watching very close to decide if I need one or not.

According to the video Grand-Galop just posted it will be coming out in .25 as well! We live in interesting times!

Any idea how much plenum there is?

Not much point in bigger calibers if the plenum is too small.

You know that this a report on the shot show right??? There is not much détails aviable but the specs they provide...

I ASSUME that looking at the rifle in the video, the plenum is about the same as the QB79..

Sounds like the pressure release key for changing tanks dumps the remaining air in the tank. Not that big a deal for me because I would not swap tanks. It could mean a lot of extra effort for those who hand pump.

Yes it does...

I am sorta interested in the new copper .177-.25 pellets. Sound like a very good hunting pellet wonder when I can get my hands on some.....
