Speed and Accuracy

A reliable weapon is essential for hunters and shooters.

Below is a table that shows the speed of the Sumatra2500.

Pellet Muzzle Velocity- AverageMuzzle Energy – AverageAccuracy 
Gamo raptor platinum 9.7 grain1356.7 fps39.71 ft/lbs.Good

H&N Baracuda match 21.14 grain1110. fps57.89 ft/lbs.Excellent 

As mentioned, the table shows the muzzle velocity in the range of 1100 fps - 1350 fps using all standard HAM pellets.

We can see that the accuracy of the Gamo Raptor Platinum is a little lower due to the use of lighter alloy pellets.

It wasn't terrible, but it was better than I had expected.

Seneca Sumatra 2500 air rifle, which is famous for its ability to take on heavy pellets, is also known.

The Seneca Sumatra 2500 air rifle's real strength is its ability produce high muzzle energy from heavier pellets.

The HAM test had the peaked value with the H&N Barracuda match 21.14-grain pellets for the muzzle energy

The muzzle energy rises because of the increased weight of heavy pellets.

The HAM test results showed that the.25 Calibers version would have a much greater power.

Doug Rogers, HAM tester, mentioned in one his notes that the Seneca Sumatra2500 would be his top choice if he was looking for the best hunting rifle.

Note that the muzzle velocity recorded during the test was with the Seneca Sumatra 2500’s power adjustment wheel positioned at its lowest setting.

The muzzle velocity can be adjusted to increase it by 6 to 7 percentage.

Cocking and AdjustableTrigger Effort

Seneca-Sumatra-2500-500cc-trigger

Seneca Sumatra 2500 is known for its outstanding performance among shooters.

Average trigger pull weight was 3.0 Pounds 7.0 ounces.

This type of pressure is ideal for hunting and does not cause any disturbances.

Sumatra 2500's primary function is to make air rifles more comfortable for hunters.

Although the trigger has two stages, the HAM team could only detect one of them during the test.

The trigger can be adjusted for weight pulling and a manual instruction guide is included to show you how to do this.

During the analysis, the trigger was set as it was by the manufacturer.

You might feel a little uncomfortable if your shots are long.

The cocking effort is much more difficult than the side-lever.

It is possible to make it easier or more manageable if you take consistent shots.

During the HAM testing, the Seneca Sumatra2500's cocking effort was around 21 lbs.

You will also find the manual safety just behind your trigger.

It was a good push for the HAM testers.

Overall, the performance of both the trigger and the cocking effort are satisfactory.

A powerful air rifle can be yours for the next hunting experience or shooting experience.

Rick Eutsler of AirgunWeb has thoroughly tested the gun. Check out the video below.

Amazing Sight and Scope

Seneca Sumatra 2500 comes with a simple set of iron sights.

You don't need any screwdriver to adjust the elevation of fiber optics or the rear view.

Many shooters will opt to use the scope as a backup.

The air rifle has the “premium bundle,” which includes a Tech force-branded 4 – 12 X 40 A0 Scope and leaper high profile rings.

Seneca Sumatra 2500 carbine rifle air rifle with tech force scope is balanced in size and efficiency to produce better results.

It also includes an AO (adjustable object) that allows for sharp focus at a distance of 7.5 yards.

The 12 X magnification can be used in the field by most hunters.

This concludes that the air rifle appears to have a good optical quality.

A mil-dot scope is an indispensable and essential tool for practical use of the air rifle.

If the shooter has low-light shots, the mil-dot can be used to provide select red or green illuminations.

This post will provide more information about the various types of airgun sights available and which one you should choose.

The front focusing rings of the air rifle are best for warm or moderate temperatures.

However, it is not suitable for snowy periods like January in upstate New York.

Consistency

Although the Seneca Sumatra2500 has excellent accuracy, the test also revealed that it can handle a wide variety of pellets.

Only Gamo platinum PBA pellets showed the results, which were not as good but still better than expected.

The accuracy of the air rifle can be described as excellent for a wide variety of pellets.

The HAM team measured the muzzle velocity consistency and standard deviation of the Sumatra 2500.

The air rifle was inconsistant!

The standard deviation ranged from 14 to 21 fps with an average of 17.38 FPS.

It is due to its unregulated nature.

The pressure in the air rifle is decreased so fire quickly.

The next shot will be cut accordingly.

Because of its high power output, the shot-to-shot drop with an air rifle is much more distinctive than what you would expect.

The Benjamin Marauder is compatible with the unregulated, lower-powered PCP air rifles.

Shooting ability

It is important to note that the Seneca Sumatra2500 air gun is very heavy.

Seneca Sumatra is 10 pounds and 3 ounces, when equipped with the scope.

It means that the shooter must use the hand sling to get into the field.

The air rifle's balance is very good on the shoulders. This gives it a nice cheek weld.

Sumatra 2500 weighs as much as it does.

RATEAGUN gave it a score 4.5 which means it is easy to use with the air rifle.

The Sumatra 2500's six-shot rotary clip makes it easy to load and provides consistent follow-up shooting while out hunting.

The clip was also susceptible to letting the pellets of the air rifle fall out if the clip was in a pocket.

Pre-pod clipping and transporting them to the field is not an ideal decision.

The Benjamin is priced at around $600 while the Seneca Sumatra2500 is available for purchase at $700.

During the test, the HAM team noticed that a few H&N field target trophy green pellets would not fit into this gun at all.

Seneca Sumatra air rifles are not made to be used with super-light pellets.

It's a good thing that the Sumatra 2500 air rifle manufacturer has included features that increase the protection level of the shooter.

We can see the difference between Benjamin Marauder and Seneca Sumatra.

It allows the gun for “double-loaded” if the shooter loses track of the loading air rifle and firing sequence.

This safety feature makes it more reliable than other air rifles.

Wood finishing is usually perfect with finely checked.

A slight roughness was found on the sides and bottom of the buttstock.

The HAM test did not allow for shooting at a rate greater than 1350 fps, which is 21.14 grain.

And said that the comments about the trigger were ok but not very impressive.
