Page 4 - Benjamin Bulldog Reviews

Very Accurate, Fairly quiet for it's power! Well Built made in USA. Going to the gun range and having guys with kitted out AR-15's and M4'S drooling over your "pellet gun" and shooting better 100yard groups than them! lol

The gauge should be a better piece...It is reading 150-200 psi higher than my pump gauge and you always trust the gauge with the wider sweep range to be more accurate. I have 4,500psi. black face gauges from McMaster-CARR ready to install. But I am still making sure the gun does not leak before I take anything apart on the gun, I have only had it 2 days but so far so good!

I consider myself very well versed with Benjamin PCP's, I have had the .22 Discovery which I had tuned by Mac1 to 30 fpe, then I had the .22 Marauder which I self tuned to 36 fpe. Both those guns were very accurate and have made incredible shots and kills with my Marauder out to 130 yards. So I trusted Benjamin again and bought a Bulldog and OMG this thing is a beast! First thing I did was throw a 3-12x44 Scope and Bi-pod,light and laser....then I went to the gun range! LOL, I had to half my time telling the guys around me what the hell I was shooting and showing off that nasty Nosler 145grain. and boy did that get their attention. But what mattered most to me was could the damn thing group?! Answer....YES!!!.. Seriously at 25 yards it is hole and hole with JSB 81 grain and the Nosler, @ 50 yards it starts to open up to maybe an inch with both ammo. 100 yards both the Nosler and JSB were still grouping really nice, so I think it can even shoot out to 150-200 yards.

Power, Great Balance, Accuracy, Light Weight.

This guns has a very basic engineering design problem with the the air bleed valve. Crosman uses a very small screw pushing down a ball bearing to seal the 3000 psi pressure and is metal to metal when opening and closing valve. Because of this, the Gun leaks all air in a few days id worn or gets dirt in valve. Suggested design change, use larger screw and Teflon Tape to line the screw threads.

The gun can leak at the air bleeder screw. The gun is great! However, if you develop a slow leak, get the gun to a machine shop to fix the valve with more hefty parts.

Lot's of accessory mounts. Power. Look, ease of Magazine loading, etc.

'Plastic' feel - Feels like a toy even though it's certainly not. Put a 'real' cover on the fill port. Maybe add some side picatinny rails. Rubber coat the grip or put some grooves there.

I've heard a lot of comments about this being loud. Maybe I'm deaf or old, but compared to my Dragon Claw, etc. it doesn't seem loud to me. I do use ear muffs indoors. Seems very similar to my Rogue with a little less power. The front bottom accessory mount is plastic and I broke it with a simple tipover but Crosman sent me a new one (Great company). First shots went through a 2x12 and 2.5 sheets of 3/4 plywood. Lot's of power. I was using the 145 noslers and it seems to like those. Not a lot of shots yet (all indoors) but at close range (10 yards) it'll shootin the same hole time after time. Magazine loads a lot easier than the one on my Rogue. Lever action is crisp and clean leaving no doubt. I like the fact that you can tell the magazine is empty. This is a bargain for a big bore. Although I'm not a huge fan of the bullpup design (I have two and like them but prefer traditional designs) it's a nice design. You'll need to add a riser for a good scope.

Powerful and Compact. I like the easy to use action of the side lever, and use it effortlessly when another shot is needed. I took a coyote at 60-65 yards with one shot. Usually, I try and make headshots on bigger game like this, but hard to take a shot as it was moving and the shot was behind the shoulder. Coyote didn't go but a short distance before it fell over and expired. Very nice trigger. Easy to fill and operate. I really like to noise level as compared to rifles without the integrated suppression.

This rifle and magazine works well with either the 145gr Nosler Ballistic Tip ammo, or the 81gr JSB Diablo pellets. Both impact the target at roughly the same spot. This was a surprise.

wow I must say the power on this thing is exceptional I am an ex felon and have lost my right to own a firearm at 19 I am now 32 and this gives me the power to take down game a firearm velocities

it's a little on the loud side but much worth it for its power

Nice looking gun, plenty of power. The few shots I took, the pellets were either touching or close to touching. It is going to be a great hunter.

Drop the perceived report. Can't practice in back yard.

I have only shot it at 25 yards using jsb pellets, fairly accurate. I got off 9 shots, before the wife asked me to stop shooting it, was making too much noise. I was thinking the new hatsan in .30 cal was loud, the wife never complained about it,but I guess the more air you push the louder the rifle will be. This rifle is not, I repeat, not back yard friendly. Which is one of the main reasons I purchased this rifle. Once I get a chance to crony the rifle and shoot other pellets, at my friend's house, I will add to this review .

LIKE THE BULL-PUP, LOVE THE LOOK. THIS RIFLE IS REALLY FUN TO SHOOT BUT JUST SO YOU KNOW IT STILL IS LOUD COMPARED TO TO MOST AIR RIFLES, COMPARED TO OTHER .357 IT IS PROBABLY MUCH MORE QUIET! AWESOME TRIGGER IT IS JUST RIGHT FOR A HUNTING GUN. PICATINNY RAILS MAKE IT MORE FLEXIBLE WITH YOUR ACCESSORIES. CAN BE PUMPED UP RELIABLY AND WITH ACCEPTABLE EFFORT USING A HANDPUMP IF ONLY TAKING 5 SHOT GROUPS

DO NOT LIKE THE TRIGGER GUARD.DO NOT LIKE THE LACK OF REAL RUBBER FOR GRIP ON FOREARM AND PISTOL-GRIP.DO NOT LIKE THAT IT STILL IS PRETTY LOUD I WOULD RATHER HAVE MADE IT 4 INCHES LONGER AND SHROUDED THE BARREL REPORT MUCH MORE ESPECIALLY SINCE ITS A BULL-PUP DESIGN!!!! USING SOME WOOD WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE

SO FAR PRETTY ACCURATE WITH NOSLER, AND CAN DO 100 YARDS WITH ACCEPTABLE AMOUNT OF DROP. PUT IN EARPLUGS TRUST ME ITS ON THE LOUD SIDE!!

Power, Accuracy, unique design.

maybe a longer barrel shroud to make it more quiet.

I have tried JSB pellets for this air rifle and the Nosler pellets. Both were accurate enough at 50 yards using my Bushnell red dot sight. Noise was minimal with Nosler pellet, JSB pellets however are loud!

Heavy hitter. Need a good backstop.

Loudness. The "baffleless" system doesn't work very well. It sounds like a handgun being fired.

I am working on finding the bullet mold that works best. The lee 102gr 9mm molds don't make bullets this gun likes, and the lee 124 grain made semi-accurate (less than 1" group at 25 yards.) I only get 5 rounds fired to go from 3000psi to 2000 psi so I don't know where the other numbers came from.

Aesthetically pleasing, simple to operate, Power, Accuracy I will test soon. Works great with existing foster type adapters. Modularity is way better than traditional air rifles.

Have two or three magazines included and maybe include a full 24 count package of Nosler pellets.

Be warned Bulldog is quiet in comparison to a similar caliber semi auto like Tavor 9 or Beretta storm rifle. In comparison to a Marauder it is loud and even with shroud makes a significant report. Also it loves the Nosler pellets! Be careful with any air gun and especially this one!

Great advancement after the Rogue. No batteries!! Yah! Awesome power, could be the baddest air gun on the market. The full picatinny rail is great for any sight combo. Very light, easy to carry.

I would add a smaller 30 cal 7.62mm and a .45 to the line up. As a collector that would be a no brainer.

As with the Rogue you can make your own ammo with off the shelf molds that make fairly good practice rounds. Unlike most other brands.

Powerful, looks even better in person, easy to pump with the g6 hand pump.Very fun to shoot.

Nothing, perfect the way it is.

Ten very strong shots going through two 2x4 at twenty yards pressure drop from three thousand to two thousand.
