Seneca Double Shot Reviews

Tell us what you think
I'm gonna have to up my shotgun skills a one-foot pattern at 25 yards with #6 shot. 2 inch 3 shot group with 185-grain pellet this thing is awesome. I have not had a chance to try the bolts yet. but I have the Benjamin air bow and it robin hoods them at 50 yards. this thing is fun. I'm 75 so I don't get to say that much.
a little on the heavy side. ill also work the grit out of the trigger other than that a lot of fun straight out of the box
make sure you don't roll up the o ring on the bolt so you don't get blow by in the eye from it not sealing. Do it right and you won't have any problems with it. Barrell selection takes a little getting used to and no you can not fire both barrels at once lol.
The Double Shot shoulders well, and having a quick follow-up shot is a nice feature. The design concept has real potential.
The fill valve is poorly designed. Without a built-in check, it sometimes sticks and dumps all of your air while bleeding the line. A cheap, simple upgrade would prevent this. Also, I wish the manufacturer would pump up the working pressure on this 200 bar is pretty low nowadays.
Seneca advertises 1130 fps and 360ft/lbs but those numbers have to be cherry picked. In reality, heavier more practical ammo doesn't come close to these numbers. I've recorded velocities with 145 grain projectiles at 560, 486, 638, 127, 646 and 221 fps. Nowhere near what's promised. If you're considering this air shotgun, go in knowing the numbers on the box don't match the real world results.

It's a beast of a airgun. I haven't really hunted with it yet, but I've had fun blasting stuff around my house. I'm only going with four stars because you always have room to improve anything. I am very happy with this air gun, so far. it's definitely a must have for any PCP fan.
It is very loud, as my first PCP maybe that's normal. but it came to be a surprise I wasn't expecting. I'd like to see sling mounts installed from factory. A better way to grab the loading port covers would be nice, but I'm not sure what could really be done there. It's heavy but most double barrels are.
I want to set straight the guy who says the chokes lossen up after a few shots. The Manuel states slugs are not to be shot thru the chokes, they need to be removed first. I bought an extra set and drilled them out. So I have something protecting the threads and end of my barrels. and of course for cosmetic appeal
I like that you can shoot slugs, shot, and airbolts. The slugs are my favorite it's cool that you can have them in a double barrel.
Do a vertical double barrel air shotgun
The gun has plenty of power to hunt deer and possibly bear with the correct ammo. Wish I could hunt with airbolts, but their not legal in my state
Always have a helpful staff w/ Pyramid. Excellent service, & safe timely shipments.
I'm pleased.
Pyramid even offers assistance w/ products that are outside their product line. Example: Air Force Air products. Who(Air Force) don't have a customer service phone number????!
The extra cost oh having the scope mounted and sighted was not worth anything since the rail screws were not tightened and the scope moves. The gun is a lot louder than expected so it is of less value for hunting than hoped. Additionally, the chokes loosen after several shots using slugs. I have only shot a few of the 8shot shells and the pattern is so vast that any distance greater than a very few yards the shot would be unable to bring down even a small bird. All in all - Very disappointed. But the slugs are even worse! See that review.
Dont waste money on a scope for this gun. It has no accuracy beyond about 15 or 20 yards. Thats well within the range of the onboard sights.
All Good, Great gun.
Availability of ammo.
Pyramyd Air is great.
Power, easy to use.
Would be nice to have pins for a strap.
Looks awesome. it has a lot of power. you have 2 shots without having to reload. You have a lot of options of different ammo to choose from. I haven't bought the air bolts yet but I will soon. its not that bad filling it with the hand pump.it just feels good in your hands.
Really i haven't found anything to change yet.
This is my first air gun. i love it
I know some say "why an Airgun shotgun?". You really have to try this to understand why. I love this gun - have bought some blank shot casings and filled them with .22 cal lead roundball and .177 lead roundball shot; this works similarly like buckshot, and very well. The .22 cal shot blasts right through pine boards - quite deadly.
Faster barrel changeover but it is still very good.

The gun is nice at the sale price . I would be mad if I paid the asking price.
The selector switch for barrel selection should be push button like a safety
Shoots low off the bead and will need optics. Power ratings are extremely over rated. No 12in spead at 20yards , more like 18 with the preloaded #8 shot and doesn't change with 12.2 chokes
