Benjamin Bulldog Hunting Rifle

Awesome airgun. Powerful. Accurate. I selected this rifle over some of the more expensive ones because of the wide range of slugs it can shoot using the same magazine. And obviously because it is less expensive. ($2000 for an FX airgun is just a little too hard to justify. They are, after all, just airguns.) I have fired 81 gr up to 163 gr slugs using the original magazine. You can fire even heavier slugs with the addition of a single shot tray placed in the magazine well. I have seen slugs up to 220 gr fired accurately with this rifle. It is easy modify and upgrade this rifle yourself. (check out pit bull airguns for parts and service). It’s almost like they designed this airgun to be easily modified. Mounted a vortex scope, extended air reservoir and stronger hammer spring. Now I get about 15 shots before pressure drops to 2000psi. Still effective for small game at that pressure also. Simple to top off with air tank and back in business. Having received the rifle this last spring I have not had the chance to hunt any big game yet, but the destructive ground squirrels on my property have come to fear me! A little bulky and heavy towards the front of the gun. A bi pod attached to the included rail system easily fixed that issue. There are higher quality rifles out there for a much higher price. But I have not found any magazine fed airguns that allow the wide range of slugs to be used. Most use just 81.2 gr pellets. Which is fine if all you want to do is target shoot or scourge small animals. But the bulldog can, and has , been used for game as small as squirrels and as large as deer, antelope, wild boars, and larger African game. (Albeit with additional modifications.). I would like to see the cocking handle made out of steel rather than aluminum. With the upgraded hammer spring the aluminum handle works hard. Overall, very happy with the rifle. Good value for the money. Can handle almost all but the biggest North American game. With the 5 shot mags that change out quickly you could even give zombies a run for their money during the apocalypse.

Excellent hunting rifle. Shooting at firearm velocities It's not going to disappoint. Well made. Bought this for hunting. Destroys single loaders. 5 round repeater is perfect. Super silent, animals do not spook. Highly accurate and powerful enough for one shot kills on large bucks. Completely mushrooms the 115 grain hollows I like to run through the rifle. What else can you want? I run 9mm through it because it's cheaper than .357 and I'm getting 1000 fps using 9mm 115 grain hollow. I pay 20$ for a box of 100. If you get ammo on pyramid air every third box is free. Cheap cheap cheap ammo. I've ran 1000 rounds through my gun with no problems. Hand pump works for me. I put negative reviews on things fast. I'm hard to make happy. This made me very very happy. I can't believe the quality. I've dropped this on concrete and it didn't damage the rifle at all. UPDATE: had this for two years. Haven't had one issue. Holds air as it did when I first bought it. I have left it fully pumped for months at a time. Loses 100 psi after 4 weeks charged. Its not wearing out. Just need to touch up the black paint!!!! Awesome price now. I paid 1000 when it first came out and I don't regret it at all. Its heavy. The barrel weighs s bit. ABS plastic takes a beating. No cracks!! Update: Still getting a lot of use. Cheap fun that you are going to miss out on. If I was buying rounds for a firearm I'd be spending big money. Not me I buy $20 for 100 pellets and it's buy three get one free. Update, Still happy.!!!

I have received this gun today and spent about 5 hours with it. I own 3 other air guns. Two spring piston, and a co2 pistol. This is a different animal. The power astounds me. I set it up with bipod, Bugbuster scope, and a tactial light. Spent 4 shots sighting it in with JB Kings. I have not tried the montser Nosler Bullets it comes with. Yes I said bullets because that is exactly what the Noslers are. >357 bullets, not pellets. They must have massive power, because the JB Kings are amazing. I have the hand pump. With that I will get a good workout every day. Maybe someday a compressor, but your talking $1,000 or better for one of those. The looks have grown on me already, the classic one liner about these type guns surely applies. "Phased Plasma rifle in the 40 watt range" Arnold of course, as the Terminator. That is what this gun reminds me of whenever I see it. I also am suprised at the weight. Not bad at all, well balanced on the shoulder for me. It feels good, looks awesome, and has unbelievable power. I recommend you quit messing with BB guns and invest in a real weapon. I did, and I am defineately happy that I did. Update: I have fired quite a few rounds through this rifle. It is dead on accurate, and more powerful than I even thought before. Shooting into 1/8" plate, It makes a huge dent, and the slug completely mushrooms to the size of a quarter, amazing. This weapon will completely destroy the overly destructive groundhogs we have around here. If I had to make a one-word review it would be "wow ". Power is nothing without accuracy, this rifle has both. Update #2: This rifle is superb! And tough, I am clumsy, I dropped the rifle, knocked it off the back of the cart actually, and it hit the scope, broke one of the flip up covers, but it still shoots dead on. Wow, I guess that's good for the scopes rep too. A Leapers UTG True Hunters Scope. Amazing rifle. I suffer from extreme "buyers remorse", but absolutely none on this purchase. Update: October 15 2017. Well, I have two "big bore" air rifles, this Bulldog and a Sam Yang Recluse. Let me tell you, this Bulldog wipes the floor with the Recluse. More power, more shots per fill, and much more accurate. I wish I had never purchased the Recluse, I would much rather have two of these Bulldogs. Completely satisfied with this gun.
