Seneca Aspen

Don't get this air gun ! The pump has failed 4 times in 18 months and it's not amendable to DYI repair due to the lack of documentation of repair procedure(s) and cost almost as much to have repaired than I paid for the rifle. When it works,, it takes 170-200 pumps to get pressure up for about 18 shots. I used a compressor to fill it and it never held pressure above 2500 PSI. Seneca should take this off the market and rebuild the air pump and provide DIY repair info for minor simple repair. (My second review)

Pros
When it works, it is accurate with a wide selection of pellets and weights.

Cons
Has the WORST pump I have ever encounter in any air rifle. Get it right and replace the old model pump with one that works. Mine was defective and leaked badly on the first one. I got a second one and would not hold pressure above 2400 PSI. No repair diagrams or instructions.

I am very frustrated with this company. The Seneca Aspen was defective and I mailed it back and wanted an exchange for the Remington 725 VTR and have yet to hear back from the company. I have not received an exchange, a credit to my card and I cannot seem to get Customer Service to contact me back. We spoke with someone about returning the item and no one will return our calls or emails since sending the gun back. Someone needs to answer the Customer Service line or respond to email. Either exchange the gun and credit the difference or give me my money back and I will take my business elsewhere. I am VERY disappointed!!!!

Pros
Nice looking gun

Cons
It did not work properly and leaked from the barrel. I was not able to participate in an event. Had to send back to Airgun Depot.

The pump can be better built

Pros
I’ve bought the .25 cal. Everything works great for 2 months. Than the pump start locking up and it started leaking air. I guess I’m not the only one who experienced this defects with the Seneca Aspen. I’ve contacted customer service by email and phone. About the issue and no response.

Cons
Love the built in pump. Very accurate.

If youre target is mooving or the range changes get a air gun with sights mounted and an elivater scooe with open mounts

Pros
Powerfull gun accurate too

Cons
I prefer open sights there is less room for error

Best air gun around for the money

Pros
Excellent riffle for the money driving tacks at 45 yards no problem best trigger pull love it

Cons
Nothing

Love it well built and very powerful.

This is the second Seneca Aspen rifle the first one I put about 4000 rounds and the pumps started to jam up. But airgun Depot take care of all of that got the second rifle has a replacement. Once I got and aftermarket scope dialed it in it is extremely accurate at 35 yards pallet on palette just take your time breathe squeeze a trigger exactly the same every time. For the money this is definitely worth it. For Target and pesting I shoot the jsb jumbo Diablo 15.89 grain and the jsb heavies 18.13 grain. That trigger breaks clean and predictable for me it is very easy to pump. If you're someone who exercise on a regular basis this will be nothing for you to pump up manually. I have a hand pump that I use now and I saved the pumping but when I'm out and about. Thinking maybe that might save the pump not using in 100% of the time. Guys at airgun Depot have been very helpful thank you again Depot.

I'm no expert at air guns but since January 2019 I have learned a lot about the air gun and the projectiles they shoot. After hundreds of rounds and a couple scope upgrades I believe I have this gun shooting predictably. I shoot paper off a bench and rest, mostly 50 feet and when I can 70 and 100 feet. Using the single shot tray I found that the Match grade Dome or Pointed, 10 to 11 gr. pellets, perform the best. (My Aspen is a .177 caliber.) My best shot string is between 3000 to 2000 psi, 20 shots. I shoot 10 shots at my target but no more than 2 shots at the same point on the target. I expect and achieve 2 pellet holes touching, if not 1 holing, 4 of 5 times. Another thing I like I didn't have to spend money on a pump, tank or compressor.

Pros
It's self sustainable, no external air supply is required.

I've been watching this air rifle for a while I wasn't sure about quality or if they would make the 25 cal well I'm glad they did I'm an avid hunter I spend a lot of time in the woods it's a great rifle for that no tank or compressor needed just grab it and go accuracy is good weight isn't bad easy to carry mine is holding up well no leaks or issues the included scope will work but I would upgrade to get the most out of the rifle overall quality is good I'm not disappointed at all for the price

Pros
Accuracy Very quiet Built in pump Easy to carry

Cons
None yet

This Gun could be an Icon in the Hunting Air Rifle Line up but IMO is a Flop. There is a seeming common failure in it's 3 stage, on board pump and mine proved to follow suit in this regard. Construction seems hurried and none to concerned with Quality or longevity of service for this Rifle. The trigger flops side to side sloppily. The end of the barrel is simply rough sawed off instead of receiving a finished machine cut let alone crowning. The Big failure is the High Pressure Pump. It simply Fails in Pretty short order, either locking up so it will not feed the reservoir, will start delivering wildly different pressure to the pellet, or will not feed any real significant pressure per pump. In a Nut shell the pump fails or locks up rendering the rifle inoperable, useless If the gun is not dependable and becomes un-shootable at any time in a ridiculously short period, it is worse than useless. This is tragic as this rifle if built right is an amazing and I would dearly love to own one. Seneca needs to correct any design or material flaws and get very serious about their quality control. If they do they will have a big winner and a large market for this gum for a long time to come. I hope they do.

Pros
Light enough even with on board pump to carry and shoot well off hand. Very accurate, 2 level power control and sliding bolt are very nice and practical features. Trigger is very good but needs solid mounting to action.When working properly the pump feature is nothing short of great. Quiet shooter.

Cons
Loose trigger assembly mounting, No crown or even machined surface other than a saw cut on end of barrel. Install cylindrical baffling attached to inside of shroud cap to slip loosely over end of barrel thus further quieting this gun.(not bad as is but could be easily made better. Do whatever necessary to improve reliability and longevity of this Rifle. Sheridan's pumps were exceeding reliable The Aspen's can be as well but they are failing far too often.
