  • We want to thank Umarex for sending us the .30 cal G2 and these new slugs from Norther Precision. It’s no secret that we love the Gauntlet 2 .30 cal. With over 100 FPE on tap across 3+ magazines, it’s an ideal hunting airgun. With the addition of accurate slugs, the G2 can reach out to 100 yards with ease.

    I’m shooting 49.5 gr slugs at 110 yards and I’m getting a 1 to 1.5 in group
    I found if you adjust the trigger to a very short travel with a very light break I get much better accuracy hajimoto sells a two stage trigger I’m planning to get should make it much better
    This thing hits like thors hammer. I use a drum mower skid plate as a back stop, it’s 1/8 in thick and convex in shape and even at 110 yards the slugs obliterate themselves. At 50 yards it leaves a dent in the steel. I love this gun

    Im betting the jamming of the slugs into the rifling is causing leading. Its more then likely going to change the POI. This should absolutely be addressed by umarex. Im definitely wanting one but im going to wait and see if they address this in an updated version

    • @wildrangeringreen
      @wildrangeringreen Před rokem +1

      why would that cause leading? bullets are supposed to be groove sized +/- .001". Umarex isn't going to "fix" anything with that; why would they modify the barrels on everything, when it's only an issue for people who predominantly shoot certain bullets (believe it or not, most people are still using Diabolo's with these)? The solution is to take the barrel off the action and use a hand reamer to deepen the throat to accommodate the nose of the bullet you're using. 7/A adjustable hand reamer (.281"-.312") is $26

    Great vid Rick! I was just looking that gun up and it says it's a .298 barrel. Thats why I'm thinking it's so snug pushing those slugs in. Although I like the fpe output I don't like how you have to waste a couple of shots before you shoot for groups. That gun just doesn't seem to be consistent to me.

  • @calebchristensen900
    @calebchristensen900 Před rokem

    For those that are number freaks, I did a pseudo shot string with the 60 gr's. We're looking at an avg of 910 fps, with a fpe= 110. low shot 870., high of 926. however, the majority of the shots are between 926-914; which puts your fps and fpe at 920.54 and 113 respectively. Which is more then plenty for your nutria to Red Fox/Raccoon sized small game; even up to Javelina sized game if you limit yourself to headshots.
    Here in Texas where I Live, all game animals and fur bearers require you to have a min of a 30 cal that pushes 215 fpe. Which I wish they'd re-look at, and break it down by avg weight and min fpe.
    ie: furbearers like raccoon that'll be 15-25 lbs, would require a min of 60fpe at the muzzle.
    Coyotes are around 30lbs, so a 90fpe airgun would be more then plenty.

    Slugs don't impress me, I tried some. They did not group as well as pellets.
    My G2 in .30 with Hades 44 grain pellets, (the rifles preferred pellet) after breaking in the barrel, and adjusting the hammer is shooting 7 shot groups at 50 yards that I can cover with a dime, and not see a hole at all. The FX 44 grain run a close 2nd.
    It's running 1005 to 1010 fps. at about 105 ft/lbs.
    I'm shooting 3 magazines, 7 shots each before I reload and refill the tank, there isn't enough air left for another magazine at that point.
    It doesn't get much better than that.
