Well this New Dragonfly has almost all the features wanted for the classic pumper? Wood stock with medium height comb, easier pumping mechanism, multi-shot, a metal breech for mounting a scope too. If this is accurate it is the new king of multi-pump pnuematic air rifles. Here are the manufacturer spec. at airventuri dot com. Looks like the Crosman 362 needs some upgrades fast.

Interesting mechanism - seems like I have see a modified Benjamin (or other) rifle with similar operation.Also interesting - in the video the audio informs us to cock the rifle prior to pumping and also engage the safely, but the video show the safety being disengaged.
whats really impressive is the fact that while weve seen these advanced( compound ) linkages for 10 yrs or more , seneca is actually making it
Interesting but In comparison with Crosman do you think they be continued with available parts years from now ?
saw these come with a threaded muzzle already... ... been on a search for a wood pumper for a while

But it appears the Dragonfly does not have a threaded barrel, but rather a long adapter.Adapters ahreaded adand slip-on [sic] devices are not a very good compromise. I have two slip-on (really ram, jam, pound on) and will not have any more. I thread Crosman 7/16" barrels 3/8"-24tpi and make device endcaps to fit. The Crosman Maximus muzzle adapter makes an already long rifle even longer - and then the moderator .....

So I imagine as long as they stay moderately popular like those rifles
This is going to be a long hard wait, but the weather will be nicer when I get mine
They rate it at 850 fps with lead pellets, but even with 15 pumps, I bet that number is probably closer to 800 fps.
