Air Venturi Ted thinks "Multi-pumpers are Great Again" Seneca Dragonfly MK2
- Thread starter Airgun Nation
- Start date
While they might be great for getting ppl/kids into the sport
Considering he has all the equipment to fill a pcp.
Why not jump the kid straight to a marauder, roughly the same price or revere for a bit more.

Probably because Marauders(most pcp) are heavy and that kids pretty small.. plus nothing wrong with letting kid do it the old way before he graduates to pcp..

Good review. Brutal on the 392 though.
My love of pumpers never went away. The Blue Streak still rules!
Cheers,

Im into the pumpers. Just so simple in this ever complicated world. Plus, theyre more petite sized for plinking. It seems a lot of pellet guns are on the very large/bulky/heavy side of things. The big question for me, this or the Crosman 362.

Great review Levy and Ted.
I own 4 pumpers myself. Killed alot of squirrels back in my youth with them. My Sheridan. 20 Blue Streak is my favorite. They know how to build them back then.
Your assessment of the Seneca Dragonfly has me thinking of another pumper for the stable.
Thanks

I had been missing my pumpers. Haven’t had one for decades. Grew up on a Benjamin. Then a Sheridan in the early 80’s. Been watching Sheridan prices and just can’t go there. Don’t have any 5 mm pellets either. Thought of the Dragonfly as my friend has one and let me shoot it. I thought it was kinda clanky. Saw the limited edition Crosman 362 this morning on another post. Could not pull the trigger on this one either. Then, I went to another site and found this custom Benjamin 392pa In 22 caliber. BINGO! It’s on the way!

I bought the Crosman’s anniversary model. I’ve pumped it 3 times. In seventies I had Cartlidge removed from my wrist. The pumping aggravates it. Not going to push my luck. I like the gun, but won’t use it again. Crow

I like the weight and size of my pumpers for plinking and hunting in the woods.
I really dislike pumpers a lot, i'm not going to pump 8 times for every shot i have to make.
i disagree with the accuracy of those things, my Beeman R7 will outshoot any pumper, and is better for a kid.
Also ted is a sell-out, so i dont believe a word he says.

Wow... Who peed in your Cheerios?
I don't care much for springers, but that just means that I don't open and read the threads about them. Much less post about it. Because no one really cares what I think anyway. And I'm okay with that.

Pumpers technically are PCP rifles. They're PCPs that have a hand pump built into the gun.
I'm a big fan of them, as they're pretty much the simplest total setup you could ask for.

Really liked the review.
Great to see the kid learn and shoot from a start like most of us had 40 or more years ago.
Accuracy wasn’t that great compared to some springers and modern pcps, but good as a learning experience. I don’t feel you should learn with the top of the line. Starting off low end allows an appreciation for the better stuff later on.
Yes, he really railed on the 392. But he did a recent shoot with his son with the crosman pumper.
Still really like the pumpers for slowing down the pellet usage. Springers can be loaded and shot so fast that the tins go empty fast. Plus the added exercise. Another opportunity to learn breath/ heart control for squeezing the trigger.
Great video taking us back to the beginnings. Almost tired of seeing all the single hole groups at 100 yards.
Keep them coming!
