    Dave, the Parker Hale Dragon isn't a bolt as such - it is a probe which has a screw knob on the end. Half a turn releases it and you draw back as per a bolt. In effect, the design is like a bolt without being one if you see what I mean?

    I had a Dragon in .22 but the seals had gone and I ended up selling it (on that basis). Dragon's in .177 were made but not many and they tend to fetch premium prices as they should - fine guns. I would think that they would be quite usable for competitions.

    Hello Alan,

    Thanks for the information mate. I didn't load the PH Dragon I handled but fired it off after cocking it. Very quiet and obviously no recoil.

    I'm really enjoying using the Titan Mohawk. I've started setting up for the scaly tails at around 25 yards now as they're getting a bit wiser and the accuracy of the Mohawk is spot on (wish I could say the same for me ) mind I don't miss that many
