Think I figured it out, don't oil all the working parts like the Manuel says after every 500 shots, oil them every 1-2 magazines you shoot in .25, which is fine for a gun doing 890fps with a 25.39 grain pellet, gun seems to like the highest pressure on the gauge for the most power, need to get more oil, and eun-gin 43.2 grain pellets, which do about 50ft/lbs in this gun at 719ft/sc. Awesome gun really, just oil way more often than the manual says, hope I can keep this one running long as I can continue to do so oiling it every 1-2 magizines, think that's what it takes to keep it up and running, and not incredibly hard to pump, we see.

Rewrite the manual

Keep it oiled all parts, every 8-16 shots, fine, I've never got more than 16 squirrels on a hunt, tell the truth in the manual.

Power at first, 44 ft/lbs with 25.39, 49 with 43.2, broke quick though.

Became incredibly hard to cock, started leaking after 2 weeks, been less than a month now and I got a 400 dollar paperweight, today Saturday and I really hope pyrimid dident stick me with this gun come Monday when I call them, should have got a better gun as squirrels bout to start rolling in as the chestnuts and walnuts start dropping on my property, really dident have time for a defective gun.

If it puts out more than what it should ft/lbs, return it immediately, just gets worse till it breaks. Been less than 30 days, we see.

this was much easier to get into and use than the break barrel i originally purchased for small game hunting. much easier to shoot than a magnum springer. not worrying about accidental dry fires helps take the pressure off.

send the gun pump lubed, even if it is a $10 add on for Pyramyd to do. it really is very hard to pump initially, and it seems like it requires a LOT of pumping, lubing, waiting, and repeat to get the pump working easily. i also had an issue where the piece in the air tube that chooses how much air to send out gets stuck, so the pressure gauge would read 3200 after 7 pumps... if this happens to you, make sure you have been oiling your pump, and pump to the red. you will hear a pinging noise when it will "un-stick".

very easy way to get into PCP's. there are a LOT of forum threads out there with people giving advice on pump issues etc. which makes this easier to maintain, and will cause less worry about pump issues etc.

The gun is light, easy to handle, ergonomic and very usable out of the box. The only negative is, the scope sucks! It doesn't matter how much you adjust windage and elevation the point of impact is still off.

The scope

My gun is the .25 Cal, and I would by it again in a heartbeat. The Hatsan Torpedo I have is garbage compared to this gun.

Great having pump built in. Grab some pellets and go. It does refill faster with built-in pump than a hand pump.

Possibly a weaver or picatinny rail set up.

To use the multi shot cartridge you'll need a set of 1" risers for the scope otherwise you have to use the single shot tray.

Fantastic weapon. Im using jsb match diabolo exact king 25.39 pellets and getting 3/4 inch or less groups at 45 yards. Im getting upwards of 40 ft-lb. of energy. The weapon is light enough to carry all day in the woods. The pumping is easy enough, about 5 -6 pumps per shot. Too much pumping to use as a paper pun he but great as a hunting or vermin gun. I would highly recommend this gun.

I'm sure that the people who make this rifle must know that there is a problem with this gun. A fix should be made before shipping it out to customers.

Apparently this rifle has an o-ring problem internally and it's difficult to pump and doesn't build pressure. I have looked online and have found others who have the same problem.. It's a great gun when it works. It's still in warranty so I can return it. I would like to keep it though if I can get it working.

Built in pump.. value. accuracy.. h&n barracuda hunter extreme works great in this aspen .22. Pellets went through almost 1/2 in thick catalog. This rifle is very reliable... I had the rifle sitting for a week, and not a single leak..

Maybe the rifle should came with the standard bipod mount ?

Take your time and pump slowly.. highly recommend this Seneca aspen for the first time pcp buyer.

Quite

Tons of features, accurate once dialed in.

As already stated multiple times the stock is sketchy. I was already prepared for that when it arrived however it was slightly worse than expected. First of all the stock had scratches and other cosmetic defects. Second its very flimsy, you can actually squeeze the plastic by hand and have it distort on the forward portion of the stock where the pump enters.

This is a fixed 4x scope, save yourself some money and go with the Nova Freedom and buy the scope you want.

Great Shooter, easy to pump and fill from tank.

Trigger has a little side to side slop....doesn't affect action. I adjusted for quick reset and break. A more precision trigger pin would be great.

Great Value. Fun to shoot and well balanced. I added a Clearidge Optics Ultra 3-9. Fantastic Lightweight scope.

Pumping or Filling with Air.

Lighter Rifle.

Carrying. Use a Sling not the Pump Handle.

How quiet it is, accuracy, ease of use. Price for a PCP Ability to use the pump to add air and how easy the pump is to operate.

I'm trying to think of something.

I bought a refurbished Seneca Aspen so I paid the $20 for 20 where they sight it in and test fire the rifle. I wanted anything obviously wrong to come up while they still had it. This air gun is the quietest air gun I've ever fired. My wife says she doesn't know when I shoot it as she doesn't hear it and I usually shoot it in the backyard right outside the kitchen window. I have a Gamo Rapter Whisper and a Benjamin Titan that are a LOT louder than the Seneca Aspen. She can be in the bedroom when I fire those and she hears them. All three of these air guns are 22 cal. Of course having a 10 shot magazine doesn't hurt.

Power, price

Stock is cheaply made

Dont buy. Pump arm locked up. Magazine arrived damaged. Gun leaked air even with their 10 for $10 service to inspect for leaks. Gun didn't last 100 shots

I have wanted a pcp pellet gun for a long time. When I seen this gun I was overjoyed. The onboard pump is the main reason I bought it. The accuracy is great and the number of shots per pumping up is consistent with the video on the pyramid air web site. So far it is very tolerant of different pellets. The rotary magazine gave me some troubles. I got very good support from tech service. The magazine seemed a little to tight in the gun and did not want to rotate consistently. they told me to loosen the center screw a little bit but that did not work. They are sending me a new mag. I am going to order another just for a spare. The scope is average but does a decent job. I might upgrade it later. If I had pyramid air test fire before shipping they might have found the magazine flaw and corrected it before shipping.

Possibly the magazine design

This gun is so fun to shoot. It takes only 70 pumps to hit the 3500 mark. Then after 5 shots I'll pump it 12-15 times and she's back to full power. This is all on low pressure setting. That's the only setting I use. On low she's dishing out 17-19 flbs. depending on the pellet choice. On high power she's putting out 28-29 flbs. It blows all my other guns away on accuracy. I have a hard time putting the Aspen down. It's a blast to shoot.

For the price, I wouldn't change one thing. I'd also pay $700.00 for this gun. It's unbelievable.

Great looking rifle, very accurate and powerful

Fix the pumps in them i guess, im waiting on the third replacement

I love this rifle my first pcp, but im on the third replacement there is something wrong with their pumps, i want so bad for one to be ok its a nice piece

This gun was definitely accurate. I had 3 rounds touching in a 1" black circle at 30 yds. using H&N Hunter Extreme.22. @ roughly 3000 PSI.

Make the pump handle more narrow so the gun would fit into a soft case with scope mounted.

With a scope mounted the gun will not fit in a standard soft gun case. I think because of the pump handle. I sent it back because the pump had some intermittent problem, would lose resistance while pumping, then mysteriously start working again. Otherwise I would have rated 5 stars.

Air pressure gauge

Overall very nice

Dont f forget to oil every 50 to 75 shots

Right out of the box it was impressive. Once I sighted in the scope I was even more impressed
