Seneca Aspen, .22 Caliber without Scope

Pros
Service was awesome at Airgun Depot

Cons
Leaked the day I received. Returned immediately. This seems to be an ongoing problem.

DO NOT BUY. The pumps on these always break. I've put maybe 200 rounds through 3 different guns. The pumps keep breaking. Thought they had it fixed but it keeps happening. Sucks because if it didnt break it'd be 5 stars all the way.

Pros
Looks awesome, great concept

Cons
Constantly breaks

Nice alternative for you SHTF folks. When an EMP takes out our compressors and we are all too old to use hand pumps we can still get our spouse to operate this one for us.. Love the full auto mode. Oh, wait, that's my Hatsan Blitz - never mind. CON- No Full Auto!

Pros
Reminds me of the 5mm Sheridan Silver Streak I have been shooting for the past 54 years, although I am not sure whether this gun, or I, will make it through the 54 year long comparison test. We'll see. The sight is missing from my Sheridan but I can still take birds on the wing with it. Haven't lost the sight for this one yet, so I will update this review when I do and then try to shoot some birds.

Cons
Comes with the funniest airgun video ever (or dumbest, hard to tell. Click above and watch, you decide.)

For me it’s like having a super powerful pump gun. If I pump it to around 3100 and pump five or six times between every 2-3 shots it will consistently put pellets through the same hole at 50 yards. It is so quiet and powerful for the price I couldn’t be happier. Don’t overuse the pump and it is a blast. The picture is out of the box as I was setting it up

Pros
I can’t believe the accuracy of it!! It pumps easily and if you use it as a pump gun after the initial fill it is a great package

Cons
I would like to see a better stock but it’s livable

Pros
I Love this gun, right out the box, shoot great, I have the Crossman Vantage .22 Ruger Hawk .177, now I need the Hammer .50!

Cons
None! This gun is great!

Pros
This gun is awesome! love it right out the box

Cons
better scope

Buyer beware! Too bad, I could have written a sterling review and bragged about the increase in the size of my bicep.

Pros
I could ramble on for awhile about all the positives re: this rifle, while it works! Yet!! But!!

Cons
If something goes wrong-fagettaboutit. Customer service is a figment of your imagination. I was informed that mine was a common problem-see picture. My request for a manual so I could try to repair it and parts to repair it, is floating around in some cloud. It has been suggested that I send it back for repairing this common problem. Wonder how I should wrap it? They’re great about automated replies-oh, we haven’t heard from you so must mean you’re satisfied so we’re closing the file. I cannot close the handle. Less than 500 pellets spit out, oiled.

I only received this today and have already put around 50 rounds through it. It is very easy to handle, looks good and has almost no recoil. The trigger is very crisp with almost no movement at all. It breaks cleanly and is very light pull. I am lucky the mags did not work, this is an ammunition burner if there was ever one. It was hard to stop myself. The pump is very easy to operate, even easier to pump than my old crosman pumpmaster. This is a winner!

Pros
very quiet, nice weight, easy to carry, easy to pump great trigger operation

Cons
neither magazine worked, have to use adapter to mount my scope. My scope is made for 11mm dovetail which is what this is supposed to be but is smaller

This gun is awesome! I've been shooting pellet rifles for 60 years and the Aspen is the best I've ever owned. I'm consistently shooting 1/4" 5 shot groups at 25 yards, shot a 3/8" 5 shot group at 50 yards, and a 5/8" 3 shot group 80 yards shooting a JSB 18.13 Jumbo Heavy on high averaging 860 ft/sec. At the same hammer spring setting and at 25 yards and less, the Crosman Premier hollow point 14.3 gr pellets on low power hit about 1/4" below the JSB Heavy's shot on high power.
I shoot lighter pellets on low power and get great groups with them at 25 yards or less. The only pellet I've found that won't shoot accurately is the Crosman Destroyer. Lighter pellets like the JSB 13.4 gr and the Crosman Hollow Point 14.3 gr also give me 1/4" 5 shot groups at 25 yards averaging 763 ft/sec and 740 ft/sec respectively.
I'm 71 years old and if I can pump this gun up, so can you. I also use a hand pump and the fill probe to start a shooting session then use the on-board pump during session.

Pros
1. Accuracy is an order of magnitude above my 5 springers. Only my Weihrauch HW77 .177 Cal. underlever comes anywhere near the Aspen's accuracy. 2. The Aspen with it's on-board pump gets you into PCP's without all the expensive accessories needed to support it. 3. The trigger is really great and adjustable to a very light pull.

Cons
I bought one in .22 and after 2-1/2 months the pump began to leak. Sent it Air Venturi for warranty repair ($52 shipping). The pump as replaced with a second generation pump, I think, and was done in 5 weeks. After 3 months shooting, no sign of pump failure. Bought a second Aspen from Airgun Depot and after 1 month the pump gave me a minor problem (I didn't want it to turn into a pump failure after passing the 60 day return policy). Also, the pump handle locking mechanism would not stay locked causing me to drop the butt several times while carrying the gun by that handle. Sent the 2nd gun back for a full refund and Airgun Depot paid the shipping back and refunded my money (Good job Airgun Depot). These are the reasons I did not give the Aspen 5 stars. It is my hope that the new pump in the Aspen I kept will hold up as this is a great gun.

The lever pump is a nice idea, but has not proven to be reliable for me. I wish I had purchased a simple rifle and external hand pump because replacing a hand pump is much easier than having the built in lever pump repaired.

Pros
This air rifle can be very accurate and fun to shoot

Cons
The lever pump can be difficult to use and the port for charging with an external pump is not easy to access. My rifle started leaking down slowly after 4 months of regular use (after about 500 shots)
