When I pulled the trigger on this airgun it was instant gratification. I am not a big fan of small caliber firearms even when it comes to powder burners. I like to feel like my I got my manhood back from my wife when I shoot a weapon and this puppy does the trick. The air bolts come out of this thing so fast that I can not see them in flight. I was amazed at the power and force it hits with. The wood stock in my opinion is just beautiful. Out of all my PCP airguns this one has taken the number one spot in my favoritest list. It is a total blast to shoot and all my friends that have seen it in action gets a huge kick of seeing a .50 caliber air gun in action in which I really love watching their reaction.

I would not change a thing honestly well besides maybe go down a little in price.

The bolt is going to be a little stiff if you have bought this new. It only takes a little break in time (a little shooting) to wear it in to where you can cycle the bolt easyley. So, do not panic or fret when you take it out of the box and go to shoot it for the first time like I did and think that there is an issue. There is no issue. It is just that the weapon is built to such high and tight tolerances that some breakin is required. Happy Shooting my fellow air gunners.

About a year ago I purchased a Walther Parrus.I was impressed by the power and accuracy. Last January I purchased the Dragon Claw. Sent direct to Saddle Mountain, Will did his magic. and on March 13th the ammo finally got here. Nielson Specialty ammo.Shot it for the first time. took three shots to sight it in. THIS IS A RIFLE.WOW

Nothing,

Spend the money send it to Saddle mountain and get good ammo. I got mine from Nielson Specialty Ammo.I will be ordering the 45 cal Light hunter as soon as Pyramid restocks. Ruth at Pyramid is most helpful and knows what she is talking about.

Eddie Apr 16, 2019

After shooting the rifle about 10 days the sear broke. Called Saddle Mt. Will fixed, no fault of his paid for shipping and had the work done in 1 day.pyramid has worked with me taken back any defective anything. In this day and age what a breath of fresh air.

The Dragon Claw, over all, is a well-made rifle. Weight and balance are good. In design, the single reservoir is more aesthetic.

Make the trigger pull adjustable.

It helps to put some lubricant on the trigger and cocking mechanism. Also, the bore size was found to be 0.498 after slugging. If you are planning to cast your own bullets, then try the Lee 500-360-M bullet mold. This will give a bullet with a 0.499 diameter. In the single reservoir rifle this will give 3 good shots.

I love this rifle, I got one that was remanufactured and is the older 290cc duel tank. That doesn't matter though, still powerful and accurate. I am using the 185gr.hollow point, the sheer size is amazing, I want to get the 336gr pellet,should be called a bullet at that size,and see how the rifle does. This rifle can compare to the power of 45 long colt and to the 45 auto as far velocity, amazing. The knock down power is tremendous, I think I could go white tail hunting with it depending on the distances. The rifle, when you get ,looks like a over and under trap shotgun. It also swings up to your shoulder like one to, it feels great. Just get one or get onevof the other calibers you won't regret it.

On the description it says,about using a 32mm objective as far as scopes go, you probably should get offsetting rings or a offsetting 11mm to weaver type scope mount to us a larger objective scope. I did the latter becuase I am using the UTG compact 3-12-44 Swat scope on mine ,it has a 30mm tube so thats also why. 1 inch offsetting rings are easier to get than 30mm offsetting rings. Hope this helps everyone.

I love the power ! even the load Bang !

The price , the fact that it is only a single shot gun ! better range of ammunition to be used.

I have had a air leak & the cocking bolt was replaced as-well due to how it slams forward when firing, and it was fixed quick and returned to me but came back with the rear wood stock lose as if it is going to break off . how do I tighten this ????

Edith Jul 31, 2013

Doug--I asked our tech department about your gun, and they remember fixing it and said this about the loose stock: "The stock retaining screw is located through the rubber plug in the butt stock and can be tightened with a very wide, flat screwdriver. Sometimes they will loosen up in shipping. We check this as part of our regular 'tech check' on all these guns when they go out new and often have to torque down that nut when they are new." If you need more help, call tech at 216-220-1180.
