Dragonfly Mk II - multi-pump pneumatic air rifle

[@jamesbrandon9166]

The easy pumping, accuracy, multi-shot magazine, reasonable trigger pull, and nice wood stock have convinced me…I’m going to buy one of these and use it as a training rifle for my nine year old grandson. Of course I will also use it for bird control on our farm. This is the second review I’ve watched that demonstrated the excellent accuracy of the rifle. Well done and thank you.

[@pyramydair]

Thank you for watching!

[@airguns_rc]

I completed my pre-order today after getting back from RMAC. I think it is a unique airgun. I have the Benjamin 392 and the Silver Streak. I thought this would make a nice addition to my collection. I will be toping it off with a Hawke Vintage 2-7X32 scope. Nice video and review as always Tyler. See you a the next field target match. I will be at Wyandot this Sunday.

[@pyramydair]

Good choice!

[@Swamp-Fox]

This makes me want a multi-pump!

[@pyramydair]

Do it!

[@davidmatney5033]

Great Video as usual! I have watched your videos for years and bought everything from the Nomad air pump to high-end FX PCPs based on much research (always including your stamp of approval). I have been waiting for “this gun” for a long time (and I’m super excited!) What’s not to love? Multi-pump, repeater, threaded muzzle and now with the Dragonfly system! I just placed my order with PA moments ago! So, thank you once again!

[@georgegandara6054]

I have never seen a multipump rifle in my life, now I might have one in the future, great review, thumbs up

[@tylerpatner6591]

Thanks for watching! Definitely a good option to have in the airgun arsenal

[@wildrangeringreen]

the tech's old, you can pick up cheap ones (that come surprisingly close to budget .177 PCP performance) for under $100. This model's nice because it makes pumping easier.

[@jenarorosales1924]

Es una gran ventaja tener un multibomba, ya que te permite practicar en baja potencia en un pequeño patio sin hacer mucho ruido y sin hacer tanto esfuerzo, y así te acostumbras al encare y peso de tu rifle, que será el mismo que uses al salir a tirar en espacios más abiertos. Lo recibí el día 16, al principio se siente como muy forzado al bombear, pero poco a poco se va suavizando conforme se asientan los puntos de esfuerzo. Sólo he podido tirar a 10 mts, pero con algunos diábolos se forman grupos de 5 tiros en 1/2", casi tiro sobre tiro. Estoy muy contento con él.

[@exmcairgunner]

Looks pretty good

[@pyramydair]

It does!

[@j.verfaillie5742]

Crosman will regret that they did not keep the inventor named Bob Moss on board. Hope Air Venturi will consider the idea of ​​installing this in a Pcp pump. Then imagine! Filling an Umarex Origin with a "Dragon fly" pcp pump. That would negate the statement that "dreams are deception". Nice wooden stock, no serious effort, good shooting power..... If this ever comes to my country I will have been able to devour the necessary revews and or videos on YT in the meantime. If extremely positive, this will be my first multipump air rifle. Wonder if the thinking about this patented butterfly system comes from the butterfly valves in the water industry?

[@tylerpatner6591]

I can tell you that the PCP hand pump idea would be very very difficult to do for a price that would be attractive to customers.

[@j.verfaillie5742]

@@tylerpatner6591 Thanks but I kind of doubt your argument. In the seven-part blog by Tom Gaylord (B.B. Pelletier) part 1 about the birth of the Dragon Fly, it is nice to see a prototype. Man, google opens a lot of doors.

[@Possum880]

The Seneca aspen is pretty close to what your describing, a pcp that has a built in pump. I love the idea, but unfortunately the reviews I’ve seen have been disappointing from those that actually own them. Hopefully the quality control on the rifle has improved or will over time

[@j.verfaillie5742]

@@Possum880 A while back I meant a pcp hand pump with the pump system of the Dragonfly. I am convinced that there will be a pcp hand pump that requires less effort. If not, it's just a matter of biting your teeth and waiting for the market to be saturated and the prices of the electrics to collapse. I share your opinion of the Seneca Aspen. Perhaps they are currently working to get rid of all the pain points. Then the Aspen certainly remains a purchase to consider. The Avenger has tremendous qualities for its price, but repeated similar negative comments from buyers have made me drop out anyway. 2023 is not far off. Curious which brand will surprise us.

[@Possum880]

@@j.verfaillie5742 Oh I understand now, yes a hand pump with a dragonfly system would be incredible. Unfortunately looking into the Aspen’s issues, I found out that they actually recommend not pumping the rifle from 0 and that the built in hand pump should only be used to maintain a sweet spot of psi. That completely ruins the appeal of the rifle to me, a pcp that doesn’t require a secondary accessory to charge it sounds amazing, especially when the cost of pcps can be so high compared to other power plants. Hopefully over time a company can innovate and bring us a true all in one pcp

Great review. Seems like a great gun. Now to see how it lasts. I would have liked to have some numbers at 2 snd 3 pumps also for some close up pesting snd sensitive areas. Thanks.

[@Riyame]

Surprised they haven't come out with a .25 version yet

[@JebHoge]

Thoughts on potential durability issues with the pump levers? Does the lower effort make it less likely for a user to twist/bend the pump arm? My 392 had that problem but I had the original arm replaced with a solid billet one during Steroidization.

[@tylerpatner6591]

With the longer wooden forearm protecting the linkage, I don't think this could be damaged very easily. The gun in the video has nearly 2000 pumps under it's belt, no issues other than needing to be lubricated every so often.

[@ahmondeboxley2950]

Can you please give me the specs on the scope that you have mount on this review im getting ready to order this monday

[@redsteam1]

I'm left handed, no issues. The pumping is stiff out of the box, was that your experience as well? How long should we wait for it to break in?

[@pyramydair]

Sorry for the late reply. It should not be stiff, should be easy right out of the box. It looks like there were a few lemons that got out there: www.pyramydair.com/product/seneca-dragonfly-mk2-multi-pump-air-rifle?m=5170#Reviews but overall it looks good!

[@elvinamillaneam]

Greetings Tyler, It's great to see an alternative in the air rifle world. I for one remember pumping those heavy crossman back in the 80's for a kid it wasn't fun. I see for the 2nd time crossman pellets made a better group than those big brand. Do you see crossman coming with new improvement in their pellets in near future.

[@wildrangeringreen]

Crossman Pellet's biggest issue is consistent weight. If you sort by weight and eliminate the few dinged up skirts and deformed noses, I've found their pellets shoot just as well as everyone else's. My Crossman 1000 likes the.177 10.something grainers meant for their magnum springers lol.

[@tylerpatner6591]

If they do, I haven't heard anything about it yet. But honestly, their pellets aren't bad normally, they just rarely are the best in a gun when we test. It's nice to see them shoot very well in a few guns.

[@davidf4958]

The Crosman was the lightest pellet tested, so it might just be the weight. I ordered one, my first multi-pump, and will try it with light H&N pellets. It will probably be as good or even better. Thanks for the review and your excellent customer service

[@tylerpatner6591]

@@davidf4958 It was the lightest pellet that performed well, we typically test around 15 different pellets in .22 cal guns, that includes H&N FTT's (14.6 grains) and JSB Express 14.3's as well. At least in our gun, neither of those shot nearly as well. Maybe your mileage will vary.

I use crossman pellets mainly with a break barrel in .177 and .22 for iguana hunts and they work great. I haven't used them for field target ...

Nice review! Finally I got to see a complete review of the MK2. Little too late, I ordered couple of hours ago, so no harm. But I wanted some review like this in order to help me with my decision. I own a Gauntlet .22 and a Maxxim .177. Never had a multipump before, but I like the idea to have options. To test the advantages and disadvantages of each and put them to compete. I went for the .177 hope it’s equally good as .22 bad I didnt find any review on .177. By the way, I read you said that there is enough stock for now of this rifle, but I just got an email for a partner of you here in Mexico telling me that there are no stock and the delivery will be delayed. Maybe you have enough but your primary market is USA and then the rest of the world? Or these guys want to make me mad? Thanks !
