Description

The Seneca Light Hunter II is an upgrade of the original .45 caliber 909 Light Hunter PCP air rifle that hunters love. This new, powered up version packs a major punch, without changing the look and feel that made this rifle so popular. The original version topped out at 237 foot pounds, but the new Light Hunter II dwarfs the original by producing 300 foot pounds! 

In addition, you can expect a big increase in velocity and power with the 400 grain Seneca Air Bolts as well! Sling these arrows at speeds over 560 FPS, producing a massive 280 foot pounds of energy. Once equipped with the broadhead of your choice, there will be no game animal in North America that you cannot take on. If you're looking for your next hunting PCP, look no further than the Seneca Light Hunter II Air Rifle!

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

stephen Jun 06, 2019

what diameter and weight were casting? I would like to give it a try.

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

christopher Apr 04, 2024

I just got one and got it on paper! THis is going to be a short range deer killer. The only thing that needs attention in the trigger pull it's a bit much but I have only 100 rounds out of it so I guess it will be better after it is totally broken in. Shoots just fine I would suggest this gun to anyone!

Bryan H. May 14, 2022

If you’re gonna leave a one star review it would sure be nice to know why. No one will take you seriously.

If you call something junk you must provide reasons and explain otherwise your review lacks credibility.

Jeff Jan 30, 2018

What was wrong with it? Did it leak? Did it not fire? Was it not accurate? Why was it "junk"?

Vegas052 May 03, 2016

you suggest not to buy the rifle but you don't really specified why and what was wrong with yours

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.

Thanks Jim good review on hand pump also ....
