Absolutely gorgeous airgun. Accuracy far exceeds the shooter. Power house.

Nothing

This gun is powerful use caution when choosing a target.

Everything! This Rifle is a powerhouse and has so far shot very well with everything Ive ran through it light to heavy with pellets and slugs. Its easy to fill with air and easy to load magazines. Lever action is smooth and allows easy follow up shots. On full power Its definitely not the quietest gun out there but I live in the country so that doesnt matter much to me. It has a beautiful stock and is nicely finished. The safety is metal and works well. Its conveniently located but is still out of the way. Its deadly accurate as Ive stacked several mags of pellets in the same hole @70 yards. Its got some weight to it and feels like a rifle should (for me anyway). From a full charge @200 bar I put 48 shots through it at full power and still was in the upper middle of the green on the gauge. So far its been reliable, accurate and powerful. Definitely impressed!

Really cant think of anything except I wish It had a bigger magazine capacity.

It might be a little heavy for some shooters.

Customer service, is great

First of all - exemplary customer service from both PA and Air Venturi. My first order arrived with a stuck power adjuster. Within minutes of placing a call to customer support I had a replacement on the way AND a call from AV trying to resolve the issue. As for the gun - well made, very accurate and quite enough to be considered back yard friendly. I have shot it kneeling, from the shoulder and partially supported with 3 different loads at a max distance of 160 Ft, with sub one inch or better groups. At 160 ft on max power all three loads went through 1/8 inch plywood like it was paper.

If there ever was a gun in need of a sling point... As is, if you plan on taking your gun on any armed hiking, a scabbard is the best way to go

The gun is long and with a scope mounted on the heavy side. While it balanced well (Sort of center a little forward of the air gauge) there is still a lot of mass upfront, so small framed shooters should keep that in mind.

Very comfortable for both left handed and right handed shooters.

Power goes to low to be useful for much other than shoring paper.

The lever action opens harder then you would think and closer very easily.

The lever action. The power, once I did surgery on it. The power wheel. The delivery time (one day). The shot count. The lever action. beautiful and wood stock. Pyramid airs email respond time

I think the air tank is SS not aluminum Wich adds to the weight. It's heavy even for me. Some pellets and slugs can fall out of the mag. Air venturi has yet to respond by email. I wish it came in .30

Mine came delivered in 1 day. But it was only shooting 40fpe Instead of sending it back I opened it up to find the hammer packed with grease. Overall it's a good gun. If urs comes like mine did send it back unless u really knw what ur doing!

Despite the weight it balances well and and I have good experience when shooting offhand. Sure is nice not to have to wonder where you left your fill probe! I thought well this thing has a lot of power and what happens if I put across my hollow point in it? Well be warned that it will go supersonic and crack like a 22 long rifle. That's not really an issue if you turn the power wheel down to the very lowest setting you'll get about 10 to 12 foot pounds of energy. Go up one click and get about 22 foot pounds of energy. Go up one more click and shoot a 16 grain pellet at about 1100 ft per second. Think hades! I haven't tried this for accuracy yet. I guess I could always turn the power down a notch and keep it in the 850 to 975 fps range. Now when you move up to the 21 to 26 grain range the fourth position on the power wheel will put you right in The Sweet spot. I also bought a couple tins of the Seneca hunting pellet that weighs 28 and 1/2 grains. 880 fps... JSB Beast 835 fps!

Make it so that projectiles don't fall back into the cocking mechanism. Be aware that you might have an issue while having the muzzle up and cycling the lever anything that doesn't stay inside the magazine could fall inside and it's not hard to fix but it is very inconvenient if you're in the woods. I really only see this issue with some projectiles that are less than 218 diameter skirts.

I thought I would try some slugs and the h&m 27 grain 218 diameter are moving at 930 ft per second! New line The jsb knockouts are 25.4 grain and our 217 diameter and our traveling at 950 ft per second! So you've got about 55 foot pounds of energy. there are some baffles in the shroud so shooting heavy pellets or slugs is very quiet. The power wheel is quite interesting, so even turning it up to five or 6 is the maximum power that I've used for 35 grains. So it looks like you could say that the zero position or lowest setting is 10 to 12 foot lbs. Each increment goes up another 10-ft pounds. There are colored dots at five locations. Zero is black. When you rotate to position 3 you'll see the red facing straight at you. then one more click the red will be off center and that is power level four and that is all you need for anything up to 22 grn. Moving up to power level 5 or 6 seems there's no further increase and probably just wasting air! Love this power!

Like the looks of rifle. Gives you that old west lever action feel. Rifle has plenty of power. Was little disappointed in power level to start with, so sent to Will Piatt for a tune. He is amazing. Rifle shoots 38 grain slugs with power and accuracy.

Make a single shot tray. When using slugs, have to be extremely careful so that slug does not drop into chamber. Have had to take apart twice to remove slug in mechanism.

If you want a devastating rifle, sent to Will. Shoots Seneca 43.2 grain pellets at just under 90 FPE. Use for slamming pigeons. Will be using to take out coyotes.

Everything, the rifle is just cool It was the cocking leaver that made me want it size of the air cylinder is even bigger in the full length version. the color of the stock is very nice warm & rich / it comes with two magazines, but I bought several more for around 19. ea.

Nothing, deeper finish would be nice but that would make it cost more

should come with some pressure in the cylinder, I would take note where the pressure is and let it sit then check it later in case it may have a leak. gun is very cool , unless your are spoiled by the high end stuff Its definitely a pcp to have, I love it.

Looks great shoots great power adjustments are awesome fun to shoot!

Needs sights added

Buy it you will like it cool Gun!

Love the look and feel. Light weight even with scope. Very accurate and I love the fact I can adjust the power. First one I received would not hold air. Pyramid Air took very good care of me! Returned and received a new gun in less than a week!

Nothing at the time

This lever action is very smooth. It feeds with zero issues. Excellent choice if your a airgun hunter.

I have the .25 caliber Seneca. I like the looks of the gun as well as the weight and feel when aiming. It is a bit front heavy but in a minor fashion. Mine came with the power wheel set with the dot at mid range so as such I Filled it with air from the factory sent yellow green line up to the green red line using my hand pump. It gave me a good workout but after about 230 pumps I got it to 3,000 psi. After putting the scope on and getting it sighted in at 33 yards I was able to keep all the shots in the ten ring - in the size of a dime actually. The power is enough to send a 25 grain pellet through a 2 X 6 and half an inch into another one behind it. I like the power and accuracy !! I like the ease of loading the pellets and the way the magazine works in this gun.

Trigger pull is a bit heavy but breaks crisp - make it lighter and keep the crispness ! Put numbers on the magazine to indicate shots left.

This gun with its lever action works just great. The lever action is solid and easy to use. The .25 is a great hunting gun. I easily got 24 shots off before I noticed a slight drop off in power.

Looks good, feels good, power it's a blast to shoot. The rifle has taken the lives of 65+ thirteen lined ground squirrels and has cycled over 3500 pellets.

Trigger.. my adjustment screw broke out the first time I looked at it.. makes me a better shot with other guns I guess. theres a + to everything lol

It's heavy had to condition my arms to be able to cycle a full mag into a pop can free hand at 50 yards.. again + side all my other firearms feel lighter. Words of caution don't try to load pellets in to the breach use mags! Can easily drop a pellet past the seater You won't be a happy camper when 25 grains of lead sit between the hammer and valve. The rifle is most accurate with the 34g jsb mk2 on max power but they load a little tight in the magazines and you can feel them squeezing throu the breach seal. So I've been using the 25g jsb with the power wheel set close to the first mark before max with good results they get a little squirrelly on full power.

The western look and the power

Quieter

You will be the envy of your friends

looks action power even though it seems less than 70fpe ?

Needs open sights

VERY WELL MADE- EVEN AS A REFURB THERE WAS NO SIGNS OF USE OR ANY DAMAGES- VERY ACCURATE AND HITS HARD. HOLD AIR - NO LEAKS. MAGAZINE EASY TO LOAD.

A ;ITTLE FRONT HEAVY

I am very impressed with fit and Finnish. Only one small blemmish in the wood stock. The magazines cycle well when pellets are seated properly. The upper receiver appears to be milled well. Barrel and shroud are tight and as they should be. Lots and Lots of power.

Very heavy. Trigger pull is a bit long and not match grade. However the trigger is as good as most rimfire guns out of the box. Needs a sling ! This is a hunting rifel for sure. The power wheel ? Set it on the indicator dots.

70+ fpe . All day long . Any grain weight under 25 grains crack . Not sub Sonic. Achieved 70 fpe 20 grain consistently. Achieved 70+ with 30 grain slug however slugs bipass air. Still looking for optimal pellet for both accuracy and energy. This is a squirrel, rabbit, coon, fox , bobcat killer.

Good looking rifle , Nice walnut stock , It was the under lever that drew me to this rifle and It works well .

I would have berried the quick disconnect In the bottom of the stock rather that sticking out at the end of the tube , The trigger Isn't bad but not great either , It was probably around 4ibs or so out of the box I dialed It down to around 2ibs and lost the first stage , so the triggers not to bad now but no first stage , maybe I'll play around with It some more and get that first stage back .

All In all I'll give the gun a 8 out of ten , It has awesome power very accurate over 50 yards with JSB 18G pellets . At a 100 yards the group opened up to about 1 1/2 not to shabby remember this Is for hunting not a bench rest rifle . The power adjuster wheel works well once you have played around with It for a while you get to know where the power you want Is . Is It a slug gun...Im not sure I tried Nielsen 27G 218 slugs out to 100 yards on full power the group was about 3" cc I was expecting better but the gun was new so ill try them again when Its worn In , I'v ordered a couple of tins of H&N slugs they may do better .

This was a fine rifle to learn on. David is correct and I should have waited to learn more about PCP before judgement.

I can't think of anything at this time. The weight is good so a larger caliber would overweigh the gun.

This is a fun gun to learn on. Since I've had a chance to learn some I've bought another rifle in a larger caliber. I am waiting to get another soon. Oh, this tired old man bought a compressor as well. Pumping these babies up by hand is a bit tiring.

The gun is really accurate and has plenty of power . This will make a good hunting rifle and I think I will really like it especially the quick lever action .

Maybe a little lighter trigger and a better check valve in air tube.

On second power setting with an 18.13 JSB my gun is putting out 967 FPS .
