Description

The Norica Dragon Air Rifle is a breakbarrel airgun with a history of sustained success due to its emphasis on reliability and performance for a reasonable price. It can reach velocities of up to 1000 FPS in .177, 820 FPS in .22, and 600 in .22 for the power needed to deliver dependable and efficient small-game hunting, pest control, and target shooting.

This air rifle shows Norica's dedication to utilizing quality materials in the manufacturing process because it features both a solid steel breech and a German steel mainspring, in contrast to air rifles from other brands that use lesser materials that may fail over time. The fact that it uses a spring-piston powerplant means that it can continue to shoot without switching CO2 cartridges or needing a compressor to add air.

The Norica Dragon Air Rifle has a textured grip and a textured forearm on its light and comfortable synthetic stock, which helps shooters avoid losing their hold due to moisture. In addition, it uses an automatic safety and a ventilated rubber buttpad to help absorb the forces generated by a shot more than a plastic buttpad would.

In order to produce accurate shots without requiring additional accessories, this air rifle comes with a steel hooded fiber optic front sight and a fiber optic rear sight that can be adjusted for both windage and elevation.

To get a budget-friendly airgun for effective pest control, target shooting, and small-game hunting, buy a Norica Dragon Air Rifle today at Pyramyd Air.

Liked about everything on this rifle. The fit and finish is good for a budget rifle. Liked look of the rifle. Was very accurate with several pellets. Light weight. Long barrel too.

This is a follow-up to my prior post . This rifle has a lot to admire but sadly had to be returned. A few hundred shots(2 or 3 ) on it and the barrel locked up halfway through cocking stroke. Could only pull about halfway down. Suspect misaligned spring guides. Pyramyd was really good to refund my purchase in full.
Will certainly continue to be a customer. This may be a one off problem. Hope so, as this rifle really has a lot going for it!

Very good value. With tight fitting pellet accuracy is excellent. JSB 15.89 Exacts produced sub dime sized groups at 12yd using artillery hold. Metal finish very nice.Sights are fine enough to shoot small groups. No scope going on this rifle. Fairly light also.Buzzing seems minor but tune in a tube on the way. Not a big deal really. This is really a nice springer!

The only reason for the 4 star overall rating is the TRIGGER. Very heavy. (But was able to shoot very small groups) Just unpleasant. This model does not come with adjustable one.

For the money, I think this is one of the best buys
for a springer. Just make sure to use a tight fitting pellet and enjoy! Being new to Spanish workmanship,
I was impressed.

Fit and finish were very good save for some joint flashing irregularities that I will likely remove with a very sharp picket knife. For "glowy thing" sights, they work very well and the delicate front bead on a dainty post was protected by a steel tunnel. Trigger pull was quite good for a rifle in this price point. The rifle has an unusual feature of two rubber buttons on the forestock and they are great locators for the open hand.

I will likely change out the blade rear sight for a Williams Peep. I do note that Williams Gun Sight Company seems to have reduced the air gun sight offerings.

Some spring "crunchiness" was present on cocking cycle but dropping some RWS Spring Chamber oil seems to be working itself into the chamber and minimizing the rub.

The barrel needed and got a good cleaning and polishing with J&B Bore Paste and two-dozen strokes with a bronze bore brush. That was followed by felt pellets pushed through the bore with Birchwood Casey Sheath/Barrier Oil. Until clean and then a few dry felt pellets until dry.

The rifle seems to be coming into its own now. I applied a few drops of RWS/Diana Air Chamber Lube to help burn off the machining oils and that is now burned off. The erractic nature of a rifle so prepped is ending - which is a usual phenomenon. As it does so, the accuracy improves as the shot cycle stabilizes.

Shooting my way through a tin of 200 H&N Crow Magnum pellets following the addition of a Willaims Peep. Two variables to deal with, and the modification of the Williams sight to attain an high sightline. It seems that the Williams sight carrier slide isn't quite as long as it should be for an high sight line, but, with the help of their customer service, I have it working. The shot cycle is really smoothing out as is the trigger. It will take a while, now, to get the sight zeroed in with the higher quality H&N pellets as compared to the Benjamin domes. I note that the H&N is not fitting tightly - a potential sign of accuracy problems. I have a supply of Barakudas and Silver Points in H&N to also try. I do suspect that the JBS pellets are too heavy for this modestly powered break barrel. I'll keep at it since I have a fair stock of .25 pellets that my Hatsan Model 135 refuses to shoot accurately due to its over-size bore.

Having put the first 200 pellets down the bore, I must raise the rating on accuracy to a 5/5. Now that the initial prep is done and excess hydrocarbons burned off, it has settled down to a single hole shooter maybe three pellet widths in size. Remember, reader, that it is still quite new and even this will sharpen up with more pellet traffic. I suspect it needs a diopter/peep sight to really make use of what appears to be a good level of accuracy at 10 Meters in my basement range. It gets better each session (part of that is getting back into shooting after cycling season). The more I shoot this thing, the more I am liking the Spanish gunsmith's work! I oiled up the mainspring via my needle oiler with RWS Spring Chamber oil and it is migrating around the coils and the "crunchies" are leaving the cocking cycle. I suspect that the rifle was quite "dry" when I unboxed it. I will give it another oiling in another tin of pellets (200) and then see what happens.

Very solid well built air rifle kept simple with outstanding workman ship. I like the fact it was not manufactured in china.

Add a muzzle brake or moderator .

Simple and well built air gun for the money.
