    Seneca Aspen Chinese pump-up PCP

    https://www.pyramydair.com/blog/2018...-rifle-part-1/

    Interesting?

    I dislike the look and some design features, but it’s interesting. Just unsure whether in a good or a bad way.

    I think it sounds like a very interesting rifle, quite like the look as well, I don't see the handle is any different from a hamster for standing shots.
    Sadly I doubt it will ever make the UK.
    The two power settings would make it a good tool for rabbiting in the fields then turn it down for a bit of ratting, although 15fpe would probably still risk damage inside a barn.

    It looks like the Chinese have moved beyond copying... Unless of course this is a copy of the FX Independence, but this is not mentioned in the link.

    Interesting bit of kit and a bargain at $400!

    You got the same rifle named Nova Freedom. Only difference is Seneca got scope and Nova got fixed sights and big ugly name on its side.

    There is something about the pivot end of the cocking lever that reminds me of the Webley Paradigm prototype (that sunk without a trace).

    According to “BB Pelletier”:

    “We get a lot more of what we say we want in the Seneca Aspen. The pump force that was next to impossible in the Daystate [Sportsman Mk2, a multi pump derivative of the Titan Mohawk SSP] is easy in the Aspen because a three-stage pump multiplies the force of the pump arm.”

    the sportsman Mk2 was quite easy to pump...
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    I think he’s talking about the FAC level model.

    Update. I still hate the looks of it, but the blasted thing appears to shoot quite well.

    I know it's sad and probably shoots like crap, but this looks quite fun too : http://www.sportsmk.co.uk/cat/35773/...a-vista/#35837
