Now there’s a new version of the long-running, big bore Seneca Dragon Claw air rifle. It’s the Seneca Dragon Claw Tactical. Or – to be precise – the Seneca Dragon Claw II Tactical.
The basic .50 caliber big bore PCP action is the same for both the traditional wood-stock or new tactical versions of the Dragon Claw II. That’s a Muzzle Energy of around 340 Ft/Lbs.
Ditto with the capability to fire 430 Grain air bolts at over 600 FPS.
Likewise with the dual High Pressure air tube configuration. With heavy 336 grain slugs, Pyramyd says shooters can expect 3-4 shots above 300 Ft/Lbs, with velocities peaking at around 665-675 FPS.
This level of performance means that the Dragon Claw can humanely and quickly take out whitetail deer, feral hogs, javelinas, coyotes, foxes, nutria, possums, woodchucks, raccoons and similar-sized animals. Given the appropriate level of skill from the shooter, that is, of course!
Seneca is very open that this new “tactical” model has been designed in conjunction with Buck Rail. Buck Rail owner Terry Harman specializes in creating “tactical” versions of existing air rifles, integrating industry-standard AR15 pistol grips and stocks.
The new synthetic forend incorporates M-Lok slots. These can be used to attach lamps or other accessories essential to the hunter in the field.
In addition, the total weight is around 1 Lb less than for the wood-stocked version. That makes for easier carrying. Plus a sling is now simple to fit using standard components, rather than having to undertake the nerve-wracking process of drilling a beautiful wood stock.
HAM tried a Buck Rail conversion recently and it worked-out very well. We expect the same to be true for the Dragon Claw Tactical, although this is a complete air rifle and not a conversion. So far as we know, this is the first complete, “production” airgun incorporating Buck Rail designs. Congratulations Terry!
The new Seneca Dragon Claw Tactical is scheduled to be available very soon. Pyramyd is showing an availability date in early December 2024. The selling price is $759.99 and you can pre-order now…
