Page 2 of 2 - Seneca Eagle Claw Carbine Reviews

beautiful walnut stock, action is very smooth, easy to use safety, Large air tank No probes needed. Came with 1500 psi. Fills easily because it only takes 200 bar Infinite power adjustment. Have not had a chance to chrony it yet. Cold up here in NE. Using JSB King MKII. Very accurate at distance I can shoot at moment. Will update when weather warms up

I would add mounts for a sling

Reasonably quiet, but I added a Donny FL Tatsu for back yard
Beautiful rifle, well engineered, on level of my AA510
This is a hunting rifle, great for either left or right handed shooters

The carbine rifle was delivered in about 4 days from the time I bought it , much faster than I expected . This rifle exceeded my expectations from fit to finish and at a great price point . The lever action is smooth and the power of this rifle is great . What pleasantly surprised was how quiet it is even with the power wheel at all the way up . I ran about 24 shots through it on about 3/4 power and still was in the green on the air gauge . Im Very happy with this purchase .

The one thing I would change is the cartridge unlike my Sumatra that has a steel one the eagle claw is plastic and very flimsy . Also it wont take slugs that the Sumatra takes . I found out that even though these certain pellets fit the cartridge they got stuck when trying to rotate it . I had to loosen the screws to try to get the cartridge to move and it broke so now I have only one cartridge . They should have used a steel cylinder type cartridge similar to the Sumatra or a more heavy duty one . Now I need to buy a few more cartridges unfortunately just in case another one breaks .

Being left handed the lever action is a great way to go if you want a repeater . This rifles price point is well worth it and its Very accurate you need a scope there are no open sights . This is my second purchase from pyramid and Im very satisfied with both and would not hesitate to buy again from pyramid . Buy this rifle you will not be disappointed .

1) Plenty of power for heavier pellets, power wheel actually works!! 2) Love the lever action, very slick... 3) Fit and finish is great and rifle is a looker! 4) After about 100-120 rds. rifle settles in and is tack driver accurate 5) Only a couple lever actions on the market...this is a nice one.

1) Should have stock iron sights...all lever guns should have iron sights! 2) Skirt first loading is kinda strange, but you get used to it...

Super straight forward filling and a cap to keep dust and refuse out, nice.

Smoother, quieter than my Sumatra 500 .25. Love the finish on barrel, its diff, a flat matte semi wrinkle type, but waxes rather smooth. Stock is beautiful, Blue'n is sweet on air tube.3 spring loaded removable, cleanable baffles in end of barrel, no need for a LDC where i live, dont spook my Horses. Picatinny/Weaver rail much better than dove tail on Sumatra IMO. Accuracy w/ slugs or pellets out to 175yrds that ive done. Dial-able up to 88 fpe w/ new hammer spring Air Venturi sent me. Saved a $100 on refurbished, not a scratch. Sturdy quick disconnect fitting. Hammer spring super easy to change out=1 pin. It really is a re-engineered up dated smoother Sumatra...the sacrifice is 10 fpe less than Sumatra for better air mileage, looks and manners...its bad a**...love it

Plastic mag (why) the xtra 1 i bought was modified much like what Will Piatt does to Sumatra mag, it has a o-ring and hold slugs better. JSB 33.9g MK2 have to pressed in, i use the original mag for them so as not put excessive wear on the o-ring on the new one. But hold the Benji domes great, they go right in easily. Benjis fall threw the original but are super accurate. Just gotta be mindfull of it...theys some wrong info on this rifle being posted...people are guessing and posting, which is dumb, and wrong

Mine came making 55 fpe. AV hooked me up w a new hammer spring a full inch longer and bam 88 fpe w 43.5g NSA slugs, 78 fpe w/ JSB 33.9g MK2. 76 fpe w Benji domes. PolyMags sizzle SS and hold tight at 100yrd too. Benji, JSB, NSA slugs out to 175 yr maybe further, thats all the room i got. My Sumatra loves the NSA 52 & 55g BTHP but over 43.5g is maybe a little heavy for the Eagle Claw, it didnt likem. H&N Griz are .248"=too small. as are the NSA .249" so far (maybe if i dial the power down) but .248" is too small, but NSA .250" work great, already took a Coyote at 90 yrd w/ a 43.5g NSA. Ill keep using the Sumatra on hogs.Theys currently updates being made to this rifle (ex. the hammer spring). Dont fret it. Yes Will Piatt is tuning them...The Sumatra is still king of the Beast, the Eagle Claws a gentler more sophisticated beast but a beast none the less...Cult .25...happy slugging

As it happens, I'm about to return the gun and exchange for another of the same. I should probably wait to review but I can always update. The look and feel of it is great. Quite accurate. I like it a lot. Problem is I'm getting nowhere near the stated power. I'm hoping I just got a dud and it hasn't been overrated.

Like I said, I plan to change it for one which I hope will live up to the sales pitch.

It seems to be a nice gun. Let's hope I can give a positive update.

I bought the .25 long version. Intended use is Hunting. I love the Power, Versatility, Accuracy. Had mine dropped shipped to Will Piatt for tune, wanted a hunting rifle that could shoot slugs, and that is what I got, but it also shoots pellets very well. This is an 84 Ft. Lb. gun after tune. 43.5 gr. 16 shot avg. 939, E.S. 44 FPS, it is unregulated. Pretty quiet for power. Agree sling studs should be on this gun. Also Lever action should have open sights. Wish I could post photos, 100 yrd sub MOA easy. Not heavy at all for a longer gun, the carbine would be really nice and honestly with this kind of power, might need to get the been...A really, really sweet gun for the money!! Stock is very comfortable to shoot off hand and off sticks if you are posted up.

Mag needs work, it works just fine with pellets, but if using slugs cycle with barrel down as slugs can fall back and interfere with cycling and can cause some damage, I learned the hard way and Will quickly repaired but not for free as was not his fault. Definitely offer open sights for quick acquisition, this gun is accurate and in those moments when you have a second to acquire and get the shot off would really add to the versatility when hunting.

Nielsen slugs are accurate in this gun, power wheel adjustment a plus, seems each weight slug works best at different FPS, making accurate shots in low wind out to 175 yards with slugs. but keep FPS 890-930 for best results. A tuned EC will push them easily over 1040 on highest power, Still pretty accurate even at 1039 when I was shooting long distance. Barrel twist rate is 18/1, un-choked. Best pellet is JSB King Heavy MkII super, super accurate and will put a great big smile on your face! Tremendous value for the money, Awesome job Sam Yang and Air Venturi. I love to shoot this gun!!! If you get one...you will too! 5 stars because you get a hellofa gun for that price...Medium game gun, over kill on small game when tuned for max power...

Love the lever action. It is very smooth and easy to operate. After sighting in with JSB King 25.39 gr. pellets this rifle is putting pellets in one hole at 25 yards. Will chronograph next week to verify the power but based on what I have shot so far I expect the rifle to deliver good power as advertised. Longer range shots will have to wait also until I can get to the range but I'm pretty sure this rifle will not disappoint. The fit and finish are first class with deep bluing and very attractive wood.

Since this is really a hunting gun, I would like to see sling swivels on the stock. The rifle came with several extras (case, exploding golf balls and hunting pellets), but I would personally rather see the price discounted.

Don't let your air tank get low. I have a 90 cu.in. tank that gives me 3-4 fills before a trip to the scuba shop. This thing is a blast to shoot. I'm thinking a compressor will be my next purchase.

smooth action very easy to use and a very powerfull gun.

nothing

If you like the lever action style airguns , this guns for you , I bought the 25cal. carbine and what a sweet shooting and very powerfull airgun it is and easy to get around with, I love it. Im Richard Pollard aka Tobyjoe

everything

nothing. but I wish it had open sights

great gun at a good price
