Seneca Light Hunter II Reviews

They have this air gun at 7 sorry I think it should be higher on list I’ve never missed a deer yet with it. Taken bucks and does every year and tag out every year. Just during gun season. Best advice I can give anyone who buys anyone of air guns is get the ac/dc air pump not the hand pump.

Great rifle, shoots consistently for about 8-10 shots on high power.

The sleeves rubber seal constantly moves out of the groove. The fixed sight is held in by a brass screw that I had to drill out since it was put in way to tight and it rounded out with very little force.

Great gun but, small rail so the scope I bought was too long for use. Also, easy for beginners not much kickback at all.

Ive actually got the single air camber in 45 caliber, it does not lack in power I can tell you that. Has almost no kick back because its a little bit heavy bit it will take down deer took two within three minutes of each other.

When reading description it says something about a compact scope do not get one get a regular size scope.

One thing that I wish I would have done was bought a small compressor for it instead if the hand pump ( it is pain in butt pumping and pumping)

Came within a week of ordering. Looks a shoots excellent. Getting 8 good shots on high. Very accurate to 50 yards so far. Ordered a compact scope so will test out longer distances later this week.

Had to use blue locktite on the bolt screw as it came loose while shooting the first two times out. Heard thats normal. Not much else. Love this gun. Came without a scratch and looks beautiful.

I shot it through a Fresh 2x8 At 40 yds with a Mr. Hollowpoint 185 grain hollow-point and it went right through blowing a large hole out the back. The guns power and accuracy for the price point is exceptional. Highly recommend this gun to anyone. I own several big bores. This is now my favorite.

accurate, powerful

trigger pull. its got to be 5 pounds or more but if your a tinkerer you'll find a way to fix that

if you really want good accuracy try casting your own slugs I did and it made a big difference

This is my first big bore air rifle. I very impressed with the rifle it not bad at all far as wieght. The accuracy is right get on with 180 grain bullets.

Wish it had sling eyelets.

Nothing at all great pcp rifle at .45 caliber

Very accurate and powerful,it's very high quality metal everything looks great the wood stock it's precious very well balanced it's not real heavy very impressed with the quality of this rifle first SamYang brand i own and i'm very happy,I didn't find anything bad i use medium threadlock when i install the bolt just to make sure it's not gonna lose and work perfect, as Rick eutsler said in his video review the trigger feels heavy when the rifle is in high power i recently order a muzzle brake to quite this monster and enjoyed more in my patio.

Nothing the rifle it's great

I understand the ammo for this rifle it's pretty costly and sometimes you can just order from pyramyd air fortunately Amazon is now offering the ammunition for this rifle you get many options and the best of that it's that you get free 1 day shipping or 2 now you don't have to pay the highly shipping cost if you want something powerful and accurate but very very loud this rifle it's a great option for you.

Must have gotten a lemon,mine was junk even after getting nthe 10 for 10 deal,DO NOT BUY THIS RIFLE ,will be disappointed

It's junk,the whole thing

Do not buy this rifle

This is the first pre-charged pneumatic air rifle I have owned and am impressed with the fit and finish as well as the performance. As others have stated the bluing is perfection. The aesthetics are all there with the functionality and looks taken into account. The hammer is simple to put together with a bit of Locktite on the screw for extra holding power. The gun looks like it would be heavy but in reality is a very pleasant surprise to point and shoot and has the feel of an over under shotgun. Once I got mine sighted in I found the 200 grain hollow points to be hitting very accurately in the same area after 5 shots with open sights. I have no scope on mine so groupings sizes I cannot comment on other than to say it hits where I aim it right on with the open sights. It sounds like a 22 magnum rifle. I expected it to be louder considering the lead it throws. The air Arms pump I use to fill it takes 135 strokes to reach 3000 PSI after 6 shots with the 200 grain bullets.

Nothing at this point

This is a nice addition to an air gunners arsenal with its big bore and simple operation. I put 200 grain hollow points into a frozen Birch tree to where the backside of the bullet was over an inch into the tree at 50 yards. It is accurate and easy to shoot with minimal noise for the power it puts out. I would not hesitate to recommend this air gun to anyone wanting a big bore with power to take big game like deer.

The bluing and metal work is second to none. Beautiful deep blue. The metal surface is as smooth as it gets. The stock is very well done, fit and finish. The balance of this rifle is perfect and does not feel as heavy as it is.

I thought this gun was going to feel like a shotgun in hand. It does not. It feels like a carbine over and under shotgun. I think this could be offered in a longer barrel version and get the velocity near the Texan.

I have this model and the Texan. The Texan is much faster and the trigger is far nicer. This gun however is perfect out of the box with open sights. I cast my own pellets for this rifle and the Texan. (same size) The cost is 2 or 3 pennies per shot. I am working with several experimental loads. I will post results of these loads on my Texan review.

The style, it looks like a high end over/under shotgun. Almost as powerful as a 45ACP handgun. The simplicity. no batteries or electronics, just charge, load, aim and fire. cheap to shoot.A good and inexpensive way to stay sharp with your "fire arm" rifles when you can't get to the range. They are both fundamentally the same thing.

The sights are gigantic, the front blade completely blots out a target at 30 yards. Peep sights or ghost ring sights would be a vast improvement, or at least make the buckhorn sights the same size as you would find on a powder burner. I ended up putting a scope on it.I got mine a few years ago so mine has the two elks dueling engraved on the side, not sure what sam yang was thinking when they changed it to the dude with the lightning bolt, the elks are much cooler.

It is loud. no surprise. unfortunately i live in a state where suppressors are not legal under any circumstances. I am sure my neighbors would appreciate it if i could use one. .454 roundball is what this {mine does} rifle likes best.I can get decent groupings at 60 yards shooting unsupported. In my opinion, that really is the maximum distance i would take a shot at any live target. the conical pellets seem to be not as accurate. get yourself a leapers bug buster compact scope and you won't be sorry. You can use standard scope mounts.As others have said, this is a serious weapon, and if you plan on using it in your backyard exercise extreme caution and safety while doing so.

Everything! Makes you feel like Dirty Harry! It's LOUD AS HELL for an air gun & I actually like how loud it is. I've owned many airguns although this is my first larger than 25 cal air gun & what a night & day difference it is. Definatly not a toy & very comparable to a fire arm of the same caliber, maybe even better for several reasons. All that power with no recoil! Makes it much more accurate than a fire arm of the same caliber. Also affordable to own & shoot! What more could someone want?

Absolutely nothing! Love it!

It's a lot lighter than it looks in the pictures. Also, it's very loud but still not as loud as a fire arm.

I received this rifle and was very pleased with the way it looked the wood is beautiful, very pleased

Had a little issue with my probe sealing off but replaced the o rings and everything is good now

THIS IS NOT A TOY When you touch this off it rings authority very powerful rifle.

The Sam Yang 44 909 Light Hunter is one awesome big bore rifle. Stunning finish and well built. I like everything about this gun. Added a Leupold 3-9X44 scope and zeroed it in. Excellent power and much more accurate than what I expected from a big bore. At 45 yards I'm putting the Air Venturi .45 cal 143 gr round ball through one ragged hole with 10 shots. Now that's impressive for a big bore. I have found the 143 gr round ball to be the most accurate in this gun. I get 10 good shots on high power from 200 bar to 150 bar. Would probably get more shots on low power if one so desired.

Not a thing.

As others have stated you will need a good back stop. This gun is also loud so be prepared. I use a Hill hand pump with this gun and no problem. From 150 to 200 bar around 50-100 pumps and your set. This is a excellent big bore gun and well worth the coin. The guys at Pyramyd Air are great to deal with. Highly recommended.

This thing is a monster. I don't have a FPS meter, but I have an airgun shooting range in my basement. At 20 yards this penetrated 3 boards, (1/2 inch plywood, and 2 1-inch pine boards and came to a stop against a steel plate fastened to the foundation wall of my basement. That is in comparison to my Hatsan .25 pistol which lodges domed pellets midway through the plywood, and my Gamo Bone Collector, which with a hypervelocity pointed pellet does the same except blows the back of the plywood out. After sighting in the scope, everything is stacked on a dime.

It is loud, but what can you do? Wear ear protection for sure.

This air gun is nice. It's my third PCP from pyramyd air and now my favorite. I was skeptical of it before I bought it but the reviews looked good. I wanted something for hunting and fun and this gun delivers. Its devastating for a airgun and can pretty much take down most medium game in my part of the country with proper shot placement and with the accuracy of this airgun it can be done. I wanted it for hunting areas that are close quarters and I don't want the bullet to travel to far unlike a rifle or shotgun slug and this gun fits that criteria. I hunt where airguns are legal for deer and hogs.

This gun is loud. Its not a gun you shoot out in the back yard in the suburbs even with proper back stop. Despite it being legal for me to do so it can fray the neighbors nerves. The trigger pull is kind of long but one can get used to it. Finding a proper scope and mounts can be a pain but again, doable and well worth it. Its a bit heavy but what do you expect from a bigbore airgun. The price for big bores are expensive. I wish they would come down so more people could know the fun of air guns like these. All my friends go ape over it until I tell them the price.

I got a refurb from pyramyd air and I lucked up I guess because mine is a tack driver so my opinion of there refurb team is that they know what there doing. I would recommend a scuba set up since this gun can go threw some air pretty quick. Over all I am impressed by the quality and accuracy of the .45 909s Sam Yang. The Koreans know how to make a impressive air rifle.

Biult very well.great detial and what a master craft. it is better than the picture. and when it is in your hands you wont be sorry. Ilove this gun

added sling mounts. would be nice

if you never shot a big bore your missing out.I HAVE MINE. sighted in at 70 yards with 176 grn pellet. and it will shoot right through a 2x10 pine board.BIG GAME.look out. theres a new gun on the block

Beautiful rifle. This is no kids toy.. belongs in the gun safe with all your finest rifles. Accuract enough to hunt squirrls with the power to cleanly take down a deer.. and anything in between! all those high dollar springers in my air gun collection may never see the light of day again. And P.A. customer service is outstanding (as well as tec support)Minor problem with my charging probe and a new one in my mail box the next day! Other companies should take note.. that is how you keep your customers.

You will want to shoot this beauty a LOT so ammo can get a bit pricy. looking into casting my own.. if you dont want to go that route then by all means take advantage of P.A.s buy 3 get one free on ammo.

.45 cal round balls made for black powder shoot great(power and accuracy) out of mine. and Please choose the kind of backstop you would for a regular firearm. a treated 2x6 wont even slow this puppy down.

Fit and finish. Just got my 909 in yesterday. Took it out to the desert and put a few rounds through her. With a 200 grain hollow point, I was easily able to consistently punch holes into an abandoned steel tank at 100 yards. At that distance my group was about the size of a coffee cup saucer. I love this gun.

I would like the rear sight to be easily removable.

NOT A TOY!

Power, Price, Caliber, Accuracy, Size and Weight.

The rear sight should be removable so that you can mount a wider variety of scopes, and the cocking lever could've been shorter and rubber coated, or offer different styles of cocking levers. Send an accessories booklet that contain all the add-on's this rifle can accept, scope mouts, bi-pods, muzzle breaks, etc... Also I would make this with an adjustable trigger cause the trigger pull on this rifle is not the best, but because of the large caliber and power, I understand.

Treat this baby like a firearm, the power is serious. Make sure you have a very good back stop that can withstand the .45 caliber slugs, sand bags with 2x4 behind it should do the job, just make sure and check your back stop to make sure its holding up to the abuse of repeated strikes. This gun is very loud on high power and your neighbors will think that you are shooting a firearm. I suggest shoot on low power around neighbors, and high power at the range or in areas that you won't disturb anyone. To fill the rifle I use a hand pump and it takes about 25 min to fill from 1000 psi to 3000 psi, approx 220 pumps, 50 pumps at a time takes about 1 min with 5 min rest in between. You better be in shape, im 42 and next year im going to invest in a shoe-box compressor. Anyone who is planning on purchasing one of these should get either a shoe-box compressor or a scuba or carbon fiber HP tank. On low power at 20 yards the .457 round ball will go thru 3 one gallon plastic water containers filled with water, very impressive. The round ball is very accurate and you get 100 rds in a box, these are good for target practice. The 156 gr semi wad cutter slugs are accurate, but the 180 gr hollow points doesn't expand at all. The 200 gr round nose hits hard and have plenty of knock down power. Purchase one of these and you will not be disappointed,the big holes it makes will take your breath away, my other air weapons are jealous because of my 909.
