If I could do it again, I'd buy the Nova LIBERTY. It shares the shooting components of my Seneca Aspen, but deletes the pump in favor of a larger reservoir. Lighter, too. My pump failed after about 1500 rounds - most at 2200 psi (purchased at AD when they got their new stock in January, 2019). I fixed it myself rather than return the gun for warranty. Instead of investing a lot of money to perhaps ship the gun repeatedly for warranty work (and then have the warranty expire anyway), I invested a lot of time on the forums figuring out how to fix it. I'm a very handy guy, and I've gathered tons of pro tools over my lifetime, but still had to carefully modify a sturdy side-pin spanner purchased at Harbor Freight (no full-service tool store here in Yuma). Most folks will not want to tackle this job! Now, after 2000 more rounds, the pump binds badly some days, and I expect to have to repeat the repair at some time.
Yes, I will do a pictorial instruction post when next I have to fix the pump!
If you do buy the Aspen/Nova, add 2-3 drops of oil each 100 rounds if you are using the built-in pump exclusively. Pump slowly and deliberately both opening and closing. It is much better to pump 3 to 5 times between shots than to shoot the gun down too low.
I do have a shiny new Hill MK4 pump. I had to purchase that because I need to be able to shoot the gun when the pump starts to bind (a frequent but random occurrence), and to save wear on the built-in pump. If I had gotten the Nova Liberty, the savings on the gun would have paid half the cost of the Hill pump. The reservoir on the Liberty is much bigger than the Aspen/Nova, and is certain to get more than the 10-15 shots of the Aspen/Nova without filling.
Look at the Nova Liberty. It retails for $100 less than the Nova/Aspen, but has no scope. The included scope on the Aspen/Freedom is surprisingly good for an inexpensive, no-name (unmarked) piece, but you'll soon replace it with something better. The rings included with the cheap scope do not fit the dovetail well. I had tried several different scope rings on the gun: They all worked, but fit was poor. The BKL brand rings are perfect for this particular 11mm dovetail. I use their BKL-257 rings (described as "tall", but not their tallest) with my Nikon Prostaff P3 Target 3-9 x 40 Adjustable Objective scope.
I bought mine here at a very good price with free shipping: 1800gear.com
Here's the link to the BKL Technologies webpage showing the tall rings I bought. They make various styles that mount the same way:
