Seneca Dragonfly Mk2 Reviews

The design is brilliant. Mine was very accurate.

The implementation is unfortunate. The pump action is flimsy and if you are a serious shooter you will be buying parts and maintaining it every thousand shots or so.

When mine flew apart while I was pumping it. I decided I didn't feel like fixing it again. I took the longer barrel and installed it on my Stormrider. That gave me a few shots more because the barrel is 4 inches longer. The problem with this rifle is the cheap implementation of a brilliant idea. I would pay upwards of $500.00 to have this design properly built. It would weigh more but it would hold up better. Oh well. Would I buy another? No. Am I glad I had the experience with the rifle? Yes.

I was hoping for a quiet pumping , not like those shake flashlights but it still has a little metallic rattle, I'm thinking maybe I could install nylon bushings? Very easy to pump and very accurate , I had no problem hitting a rat in the head . Now I need a small night vision scope . I can make it a little more silent to pump I believe it should last a long time.

I'm a big fan of all metal and real wood, this plastic is ok I guess until it gets set to close to the stove. Aluminum or brass sights would be better shrouds from tempered tin

This rifle really feels good maybe a bit long in the stock /1" , but with a metal but plate carbine style probly faster on the shot

Very well built,

Sharp edges on forearm

Everything ended well, but the first one i received was a dud. But pyramid air took care of me and in a matter of days I received a replacement air rifle and it has been a great pesting rifle out 30 yds so far

Well this was my second one. I wanted the rifle to work so bad I got a replacement. It didn't work either. Thankfully this company has great customer service.

Quality control.

Gun shot only a few times before making a whining noise. After that no pressure. This was the replacement for the first one. I noticed the serial numbers were only 3 off from the first one I got so maybe it was a bad batch. Also a screw from the forearm was laying in the box. Finally, just got refund.

First off, I own about 25 airguns now, but raised on the Daisy Powerline and the Crosman 2100, these were very impressive. I bought two .22 cals, one for each of my sons Christmas 2022. Put $120 scopes on each and sighted them in. Shot very rarely. Last week I put up a target with a nickel size dot at 22 yards and my 11 year old put a whole mag of JSB 14.35s in the red. Took it out a day or two later using my chrony and tested for FPE with the JSB 14.35s, 15.89s, 18.19s and 25.35s. In order, we got 17.57, 17.8, 18.4 and 20.0. It's always nice to have a gun outperform it's advertising. I have similar results with my other son's gun as far as accuracy, I just have not done the power test yet, but expect them to be very, very close. Both very easy to pump for the power you get.

My son saw one of the screws that fasten the forestock with the pumping arm fall out. As we put it back in we noticed that one of the three were gone. Probably fell out without us noticing. Kinda my fault, I should have checked them earlier, but they should be designed to not come out so easily. Easy fix with a $39 Dragonfly repair kit from PA. Trigger is a little stiff and has some creep for sure. A little TLC with some polishing should do fine. Not a bad trigger though.

Take out pumping arm screws, clean with alcohol and put some blue Loctite on them. BLUE not red. Spray a little Ballistol on pumping arm hinges and wipe off excess. This will smooth out pumping action significantly. Take some sand paper or dremel and smooth out the edges of the wooden forestock where your hand come in contact with it, out of the box, it's rather sharp. Just make sure to cover internals as not to get sawdust in places it shouldn't be. These guns are well worth the money IMO. To my surprise, with heavier pellets (25.35gr) they shoot as hard as my two Walther Parrus's and my two NP's. Pretty amazing being that they are so easy to pump.

This gun shoots really good, even at just 3 pumps. Very accurate at 25yards, and still pretty good at 50yards (with a few more pumps). Magazine was rough loading heavier pellets, took it apart and smoothed the loading port/hole, all is well now. Bought the package deal with the cheapest mantis scope, and everything works really well!

Trigger not very smooth. Magazines don't load bigger pellets without smoothing out loading port inside the magazine.

Great to use at 3 pumps for close range, and still good at more pumps at longer ranges. Not too loud, but added a Buckrail suppressor and it is very quiet now.

Arrived well packaged, bluing is descent as is the stock. Feels like a solid well made air rifle.

The wood on the forearm has sharp edges

Great power with minimal pumps

The wood finish was nice. Good for show. Works with Diana Storm Chaser magazine and suppressor.

The pump arm mechanism rattles a lot during the stroke. Also the whole apparatus is too light to resist deflection from the centerline. Additionally the metal pump arm has a lot of side to side play within the wood pump arm channel amplifying the clopping of horse hooves sound as it cycles. This side to side wobble makes for unsteady pump strokes.

Incorrect suppressor specification. Not 1/2 x20 UNF. It fits the Diana Chaser suppressor M10 x 1.00

The concept is for sure cool, the magazine is decent-ish, and the threaded end is excellent.

They have the capability to put in a better trigger for the same price, don't be deceived by that. This trigger is terrible terrible terrible. Multipumps could be incredibly popular, if they'd put in a proper match trigger. So bad. Length of pull is fine for a child, but not an adult if you use optics. The optics rail was an after-thought and they failed to make it functional, especially with the ultra short stock.

This product isn't there yet. You will be frustrated. (but let's hope for a future product that checks the boxes, they can do it I'm confident)

I like the simplicity and multi pump function. Multi shot magazine. I started many moons ago with a Sheridan Blue Streak. I’m teaching my grandchildren shooting skills. I saw Ted’s review,looking to get yet another Sheridan/Crossmann. I liked the review. And being from Kenosha,,I trusted his review. Bottom line. Reliable, easy to pump compared to the older designs. Accurate for its reasonable price point. I’ve been shooting this one, and shooting nickel size groups at 25 yards. I’m shooting the iron-sites for now. Once the tribe is ready, I’ll definitely mount some glass for chapter two of their training. Terry&ThePirates South Florida

Nothing for what I expected.

I’ve found over the years that an air rifle or pistol is a must have. Target shooting indoors or out. Pest control.

The classic look, ease of pumping, accuracy and it comes suppressor ready.

Nothing

I installed BigJs forearm screw kit and his trigger grub screw. I did this because my rifle had a very long trigger pull plus my pump arm screws kept falling out. Problem solved now I have an extremely nice short predictable trigger pull! It's not pellet picky but my rifle loves JSB 18.13 grain pellets. It's hole in hole at my basement 15 yard target. They give me 665 fps / 17.80 ft. Lbs. Wish I would have got this before I picked up the Crosman 362 and dumped a bunch of money into it.

This is a great gun. Good finishing looks-wise, feels premium. BUT, the moving parts are TERRIBLE.

Not much to change in terms of what the gun has to offer. HOWEVER, BEWARE! I bought a brand new gun but right out of the box the bolt handle had a lot of friction. It requires a tremendous amount of force to pull back. The pump mechanism is also very jittery, with a lot of friction. It not smooth at all and it get stuck midway due to the high level of friction.

Wanted to have a good time with it but these two issues gave a terrible experience. Very unfortunate.

Very easy to pump from 3 to 15 pumps. The amount of pressure to pump up is consistant for every pump. Very accurate with open sights. I did not need a scope. I am 80 years old and have had many airguns over my lifetime. To me, this has been the best.

I really would not change anything.

easy pumping all the way through the pumping cycle & the end of the barrel isn't wiggling around by the muzzle threaded barrel for a silencer WAYYYYY COOOOOLLLL.

beef up the pump linkage seems a little flimsy works great just a little wobbly

once broken in & you find that one pellet it REALY likes. invest in a good scope 3x9x40 you'll soon realize you'll need it. I'm hitting nickel size groups at 80 yards on 9 power from a rest pigeons don't stand a chance .

Looks nice Seems solid and quality Good accuracy

Maybe give it just a little more scope rail but it's fine

Make sure you tighten everything put a little lube on it and clean the barrel

This has become my fav air rifle!! Accurate, easy to pump, beautiful rifle wood stock, decent trigger

screws on pump handle need to be loctited in, easy fix

You won't be disappointed in this fine air rifle for the price, I really enjoy mine, I read all the reviews before I buy, hope this helps, this is a great rifle, great shipping from PA

Looks good. Pumps easily. Weight is OK. Feels comfortable.

Windage and elevation set screws are extremely loose. Need to correct. I lost a windage set screw. Provide an exploded view. Provide a parts list.

Pay close attention to the screws. They fallout and are lost easily.
Until I can find a replacement screw I am unable to rate accuracy.

Light weight, for the price - a finished wood stock, adjustable sights (windage and elevation), ease of pumping, suppressor ready, decent pellet velocity for the price point, and accuracy. I think you will enjoy this rifle, but don't expect it to last if used regularly. My overall rating would be five stars if it hadn't broke.

The fore-stock doesn't line up precisely with aft stock. It's offset to one side by 2-3mm. It will irritate those with OCD. No way to adjust it. I'd like a longer bolt lever, it's a little tricky cocking the bolt full aft with a scope mount kind of in the way. STRONGER HINGE PIN. It wasn't made to last...hinge pin broke after a little over a year and a half of once or twice a month target practice sessions.

Pumping effort certainly took some breaking in. By the third or fourth shooting session, the pumping effort became easier and easier. Unfortunately, the hinge pin broke one year and seven months after purchase. I've shot maybe 250-350 rounds though it. Bummer because I really liked this rifle. I liked the light weight for plinking. Waiting to hear if Air Venturi is going to send me parts to fix myself, or if I have to ship it to Ohio for repairs since it's out of warranty. I was really upset at first, but remembered after all it is a "mid-range" (not high end) air rifle.

Within 30 days, something went wrong with the trigger, it couldn't be moved, and the bolt came off. On the 40th day, the air pump rod pin came off and could not be found. PYRAMYD shirks responsibility and I will not return the goods even if I am willing to bear 20% of the loss.

The gun is incredibly accurate, the trigger is nice, and it shoots well with almost any pellet.

The whole pivoting pump system is nice for making it easier to pump but its horribly unreliable. Started making a grinding sound halfway through the pump stroke and I had to take it apart and clean out a bunch of shavings of metal that were in the piston cylinder. Put it back together and it worked well for about 100 more shots before the linkage from the pump handle to the piston blew apart, sending a couple washers flying towards my face at like 100 mph.. very disappointed as I was starting to really love this gun before it started giving me these problems before I could even finish a tin of 500 pellets. Whats odd is that all these problems began shortly after doing my first round of maintenance by applying oil to the pivot points in the pump and a drop on the felt wiper. I did so using pure silicone oil as recommended in the manual to do so every 500 shots.

DO NOT use pure silicone oil as suggested in the manual. Better off to just leave it alone.
