Awesome gun just got mine I took it out in the back and took 4 shots from approximately 40 yards and had a group of about 3/4 of an inch I love it
Cons
It's a little loud might disturb the neighbors
Great gun it will take deer also 60 yards To 85 yards lve done it all ready.
Pros
Power
Cons
Single shot.
The Seneca Reluse is a Powerhouse of a hunting airgun consistently blasting the 145 grain Nosler rounds clean through a 3-1/2" wood Beam . It's so powerful it actually has a little recoil. The accuracy using the Nosler rounds is impressive at less than 2" groupings at 50 yards. The dual air tanks give me 3 full power shots for hunting and about 20 shots on low power at the range. The Air Venturi Quiver Mount is a must to mount a bipod and sling. Be Aware that the gun comes with no sling mounts. I have the airbolts but find that the heavier rounds will kill a wild pig dead on the spot if you make a good headshot. The trigger is heavy as the other reviews note but overall the quality is great. It is LOUD. You have to have good neighbors to shoot this in your backyard. Has to be oiled daily if you take it out in the damp woods as I do or it will rust. The bolt is not as hard to cock as in other reviews I have read but make sure to check the tightness of the bolt handle screw as it tends to loosen up. The scope mounts suck but I was able to mount a UTG swat scope using a conversion rail but the scope is more than 2" above the barrel so you have to be aware of your elevation adjustment. Overall I am pleased with the gun especially at it's price point. The stock and finish makes it a beautiful gun. I would recommend it to anyone who wants an airgun for small to medium sized game animals.
Pros
Awesome penetrating power. Nice finish and quality. Lots of shots per fill.
Cons
The scope rail sucks. The trigger is extremely heavy but breaks clean. The location of the sling and bipod mount is way to close to the stock. Purchasing the Air Venturi Quiver mount gives you a bottom rail to attach the bipod at a reasonable location and allows you to fix a sling where it will be useful.

Colin from USAWhat bipod would be recommended for the Recluse .357 air rifle?
asked Bert from USAIs it difficult to ship this rifle or others Canada?
asked Joseph from Canadai tied filling this with a pump but when i tried to disconnect it started leaking from the quick disconnect on the rifle and bled all the air out can you tell me a reason why this may be happening
asked Alexis from USAThe check valve in the air tube can stick. While the gun is still connected to the air supply,with a fill,point the muzzle down, Tap it,fairly hard ,against a hard surface. That should get the check valve to slide into place. Then bleed and disconnect.
Mark from USAwhats scope is recommended for the seneca recluse .35 dual tank
asked Alexis from USAAny scope will work.We suggest a AO scope 3-9 x or 4-12 x will work very well.
Mark from USAHow long will the air last,, or can you leave the air in the gun,or should you?
asked Thomas from USAYou always leave 800-1000 PSI in a PCP gun. It should be fine for a decade or so.
Mark from USAHow do you air it up, no manual. Can't find a full spot
asked Steven TolivarRead the manual, they are available on line .
Colin from USAAt What Range Will it Kill A 150 pound hog how big shot clip
asked robert ErrattCan you use a manual pump to charge up pressure in cylinders?
asked BYRON ROBINSONClayton mentioned that he has shot the airbolts with this. I thought you could only do that with the 50 cal.
asked BobSo this shoots a .357 magnum WHAT? Is it a 10 grain bullet, a 40 grain bullet, a 150 grain bullet? .357 tells me almost nothing when looking at the muzzle velocity which I assume is the velocity you are stating since you didn't even bother to mention that important piece of information. What is the velocity at 50, or 100 yards with this unknown bullet, or BB, or whatever it is you shot out of it to arrive at this virtually meaningless number? There are some people who shoot real guns who might be interested in your products, but not when there are no meaningful numbers given.
asked EdwardThis doesnt come with a pump does it? I'm new to pcps about how long would it take to pump this up?
asked Dustin RitchotteCan you use an aluminum 3000 PSI tank to fill your gun and if you do how many good kill shot will you get it. I am being told I should get it leave 60 shots that will be moving over 900 ft./s.

asked RickHow do you get 3000psi into this rifle?
asked Kelly ReynoldsHow many shots per fill are you getting? What psi seems to work best with the recluse for you? And how low do you let the psi run down to before refilling? Thank you
asked SEHCan this rifle fire lead .357 or 9mm pistol bullets ?
asked KevinCan I add a moderator? Which one? I've been thinking to purchase this Recluse Dual tank .357 cal but I do need a moderator to practice on my backyard. I will appreciated your response. Thank you.
asked Alberto from USAIs 980' fps is that with the heaviest pelt
asked walter from USA
If you're new to big air like me, you soon realize this isn't a budget alternative to powder shells. Its a whole different thing, and it's super cool. Get a bunch of good pellets and a compressor if you can. There's some way cheaper budget compressors out there if you can't afford the fancy ones. A hand pump is not really adequate. I filled it one time with a hand pump and then went straight to ebay and got a two hundred dollar pcp compressor. Have fun and don't shoot your eye out kid
Pros
This is my first and so far only pcp. I couldn't believe the power that it has. It's too loud for the backyard so I got a donnyfl to fix that, and it does. I've mostly just been sawing a maple tree in half from about fifty yards. I did pop 1 racoon from about 25 yards with a 115 hollow point, it was messy. The chicken coop was between us so I just shot through it, luckily I missed all the welded wire. It got him in the ear and he fell over like a scared possum. It holds plenty of air for my needs. Its definitely well built using good stuff. People trip when I get it out, it's cool looking. It maneuvers well, like a 410 shotgun, sounds like one too without the Donny. Its a little awkward to maneuver with the Donny on it, that thing adds about a foot to the end. I'm not entirely sure that I would buy the same gun again but it's very possible. A texan would be cool, but this thing is half the price and with kill stuff just as dead. Overall I'm happy with it and don't regret the purchase
Cons
It doesn't come with a lifetime supply of pellets
