The Aspen .25 cal was my first gun...although a little heavy it is accurate, reliable, has good power for small game, shoots anything I run through it...In a SHTF senario, you can hand pump the gun it's never out of air, but it takes a little effort, but it can be filled with a tank, or compressor. I added a different scope and a bi pod and moderator...it is best used as a bench gun, or if hunting from a set position.I bought my Seneca aspen from pyramid air about a year ago. You’ve surely read all the horror story reviews. They’re all true. The rifle is junk. It won’t last six months I promise. Don’t waste your money. On a side note I’ll also not be buying from pyramid air again for multiple reasons. You’ve been warned. If pyramid air hasn’t burned you yet… it’s only a matter of time. You can learn from my mistake or make the same mistake yourself. Either way you’ll learn a lesson.
