10 of 30 Seneca Recluse Air Rifle Reviews
Everything in this air rifle is solid built. Beautifull air rifle.
Things I Would Have ChangedMake it with a magazine or multishot. A bit lighter if possible. With the scope it gets a little heavy.
What Others Should KnowThis gun is well made. Beautifull. Easy to decock. Holds 3,000psi of air well. No leaks. Gauge works fine. The 67 grain round balls fitt tight in the barrell. Had to push ball in with a piece of metal. Cocking handle has 2 positions Low/High. Safety works fine. come with threads on the barrell so you can mount DONNYFL supressor and adapter. Looks like the Remington 1100 shotgun. No plastic on it. All metal work. I DO RECOMMEND THIS AIR RIFLE. YOU CAN CHECK ACCURACY ON YOU TUBE. EVERYONE SPEAKS WELL OF THIS RIFLE. IT HAS POWER FOR BIG GAME.
Beautiful stock, solid, well crafted construction. Very accurate using everything from 75 grain to 190 grain bullets. I recommend .357 and .358 caliber, but it shoots my 126 grain .356 just fine. Very accurate. With only an inexpensive 4 x 30 scope I was easily able to put a group of five shots within a 1 inch diameter circle at 25 yards. 75 gr. est 900+ ft/sec. 190 gr. est 680 ft/sec. Nice rifle.
Things I Would Have ChangedPackaging. Rear sight arrived broken because of poor packaging. Pyramyd kindly sent me the part, but Sam Yang needs to pack this rifle in styrofoam peanuts. The packaging rings they use suck and do not work. They fall off of the gun during shipping and the gun then gets banged around. $2 worth of peanuts would solve the problem.
What Others Should KnowBest Sam Yang caliber for the power they have. Wide range of ammo that will keep you in the 700-1000 ft/sec range. Nielsen ammo is favored by this rifle in .358 caliber. The AV 190 gr. .358 performs well as do the Drill Dog 128 gr. .358 (actual measured weight is 132 gr.) Remember that the single tube is more powerful than the double tube and will throw a 400 grain bolt 50 ft/sec faster than the double tube. I do not recommend shooting below 160 bar if you want full power.
Very nice gun shoots very well very accurate very pleased with it. Fact I liked it so much I order the 59cal and it just as nice now am waiting for my Double shot 50 Cal
Things I Would Have ChangedShiping a little faster but it was on time I was just hoped it would come early
Great rifle , shoots very good.recommend this one to anyone wanting a big bore.357 cal. It's really nice in finish and bluing.
Things I Would Have Changedsmoother trigger with a little less pull. and auto safety would be nice.
What Others Should KnowHits very hard, and does very well at 100yds , Just take your time to find what shoots best out of it. Great price for what you get.
Wery acurate all shots in the same hole
Things I Would Have ChangedMake it with a magazine for at least six shots
The rifle is well made. Accurate with pellets like JSB. Mine was tuned by Will Piatt. With a 2950 psi fill and and at high power shooting off a tripod it puts 4 to five pellets in less than an inch using JSB pellets. With a 95 grain swaged bullet, the Nosler 145 grain and 358 round balls accuracy was poor.JSB pellets on low power with a 2300 psi fill go into a 1.5" for 4 shots. JSB pellets averaged 996 fps on high power and 907 fps on low power.
Things I Would Have ChangedThe barrel from the factory has a 1 in 20" twist and .358.5 groove diameter which is fine with pellets but to shoot bullets a 1 in 14" twist is needed.
What Others Should KnowThis gun is a good buy for the money. With the JSB pellet it has worked great on raccoon and fox control. My gun is still new and with more time maybe I will find a combination that will work with the heavier bullets. This gun is an air hog and if your hand pumping like I am you won't be able to shoot as much as you would like. The folks at Pyramydair are great to deal with and you can't go wrong buying from them.
WOW,I like everything about this rifle.the fit,finish,feel is great.very easy to shoot,great balance and very accurate.looking forward to alot of shooting to come
Things I Would Have ChangedThe only thing i would change is being able to cock it with the safety ON.
What Others Should KnowThis is pretty loud so if you got close houses to you,hopefully your in good with them.not a issue where i live,not yet anyway.
Every
Things I Would Have ChangedNothing
What Others Should KnowThis is the most powerful airgun I ever seen I got and just thinking yes 38sp ballistics yes right the blew thru two 2x4s I believe now
Beautiful gun. Very accurate. Amazing workmanship and quality and lots of gun for the $$$ especially when compared to most other big bore guns. I own 2 other makes and also have previously owned a Sam Yang 909S which was a very good shooter.
Things I Would Have ChangedAfter about 20 shots the air chamber sprung a leak and I had to return the gun. It would fill to about 2000 psi from my Scuba tank and when the pressure increased above 2000psi it would start hissing at the muzzle end. Very disappointed as this was the last Recluse in stock at PA for several weeks. I debated about paying the $10 for 10 shots before I received the gun but it turned out that it didn't matter anyway as it shot perfectly the first 10 shots. My only other complaint was the extremely hard trigger pull. Too bad that the manufacturer doesn't spend another $25 or so to hone the trigger and sear. Should be a very simple job.
What Others Should KnowPA was amazing at how they handled my problem. I simply called and they graciously sent me a return FEDEX label and promptly gave me a full credit. They offered to fix the gun, send me another one or give me a refund. I decided not to wait on another gun at this time. I have bought several things from PA in the past and will continue to do so. Not many companies are out there with such a liberal return policy on items like this.
