Benjamin Bulldog Kit Real Tree Xtra Reviews

Compact size, power, accurate with the right bullet

Scope, case, and bipod. I would forgo the kit and just purchase the rifle and outfit the rest with better quality stuff. The soft case offers little protection. I could have gotten a decent hard case and better scope for the added cost of the kit. a 6-20 scope is not really practical for the intended use of this gun. 3-9 would be better.

The included accessories in the kit aren't all that great. I'm using this rifle for deer hunting. 3-9 x 40 would be a better fit. I'm not trying to shoot mice in the head at 100 yards. Deer realistically within 70 yards don't require 20X magnification. The case is ok but not great. The bipod is pretty cheap and too noisy for hunting purposes. The balance and short handling make this gun a real pleasure to carry around in the woods. The sling is good. I used 82 grain pellets 115 grain and 125 grain AIr Venturi bullets which all hit the average kill zone of a deer but I got a nice tight 1" group at 50 yards when using Mr. Hollowpoint 140 grain bullets. I will be sending this gun to Pit Bull to get a complete makeover with power boost, depinger, barrel supports, moderator and trigger job.

The quality of benjamin is excellent. Got lots of power. All around excellent piece of equipment.

Nothing lol well price but you are getting excellence.

Great shipping will do business again .

Awesome rifle accurate hardhitting. As usual with p.a. I got it in a couple of days the soft case it came with is great.

No

Craig was great answered all my questions, when I got the bulldog I installed a pitbull mega moderator and a pitbull depinger the rifle is so quiet now it is amazing almost indoor friendly. Also Ruth was very good to work with answered all my follow up questions thank you p.a.

Light and easy to handle and this big bore definently packs a punch you will not be disappointed with this rifle.

I tend to agree with others, the fill port cover is a bit tricky to get off .

The things I like about the bulldog are it’s well-balanced nice looking gun slams whatever you shoot for the price you can’t beat this gun I highly recommend it it is my first big bore

The only things I would change about this gun is maybe put a factory de pinger and a better valve port gaurd

It shoots the Nielsen 145 grain slug well

its everything i hoped for. this is not a toy. has the power of a fire arm and im highly impressed. love it

its a little loud so the neighbors could confuse it for a firearm other than that its perfect

if your a gun nut like me this may just make you a full on air gunner.

Great build quality and accuracy. She's a total beast.

The magazine needs improvement. Easy to double load.

Great value in the "Bullpup" kit. The accessories are well worth the extra cost over the base rifle. Mine also came with a scope riser mount and a full box of 25 rounds of Noslers. The Realtree finish is pretty nice -- its painted on, not stickers. The weight is not bad at all. The included sling fits well. The cocking lever easily switches to opposite side for Lefties. The fill port is located behind the grip, NOT at the muzzle. The action is smooth and firm, cocks nicely. Muzzle is not very loud. The power is very good in stock trim. I like the built-in picatinny rails; they aren't sharp like some others. Magazines fit almost flush and do not stick out. The scope it comes with is actually a pretty nice scope with a lot of different adjustments and illumination. Shoots straight and consistent. Overall the package is well balanced and feels good in the hands. Shoulders nicely.

Like everyone said, the fill port cover is not designed well. I can't remove it without a screwdriver, and worse, it doesn't keep dirt and debris from getting into the actual fill port. The loud "TWANG" in my ear when firing is a little unpleasant. It would be nice if they came with a "depinger" standard. The air capacity is under-whelming. only 3kpsi max fill and only 360cc standard. Need to bump that up to 4500psi fill and 500cc (like aftermarket offers). The buttstock is a little short for my personal preference. This could be easily fixed with a spacer or aftermarket pad though.

I ordered this package in mid-July 2020 and just received it Feb 2021. A long wait, but glad I did. This Bulldog hits hard right out of the box. At 50 yds it will go right through a steel barrel. Use common sense and a good backstop. Get a real cap for the fill port. I bought the A.V. cap here from pyramid for I think 5 bucks. The best ammo is probably the Noslers it was designed for. They seem to work best. Be aware the Bulldog is an air hog. 10 shots max from full to empty in stock form. Bonus -- there is a great aftermarket for the Bulldogs -- check out pit bull air guns in texas.

it feels better than it looks and the scope that came with it works very well this thing shoots hard and only a little loud . I am still trying to get shot groups together and figure out what pellets it likes best . good trigger

fill port cover is awkward

it was easy to use in a tree stand

Excellent gun super light easy to carry very well built awesome accuracy

Nothing

Perfect for coyotes

Very accurate, holds air very good, great hunting gun. Killed a whitetail with no problem. Not very loud, I really have enjoyed this gun.

Maybe a nipple for the air port instead of the cover. I'm not crazy about the pistol grip, maybe a carbine style would be better.

Excellent gun, I got the kit and everything works very well. The design does make it hard to shoot off of sand bags. The air port cover broke on the fourth time I removed it, not a big deal, I just put a nipple over it.

I have really enjoyed shooting this rifle. It is accurate and easy to shoot, a lot of fun. I look forward to getting a lot of enjoyment with this rifle.

Maybe a larger magazine would be nice. The case could be a better fit and have some compartment in the storage area.

Absolute powerhouse, mags accept huge bullets and slugs compared to other .357 rifles or bullpups. Very well balanced, very ergonomic design. I love the look and feel of it, I love the camo. Its compact so its nice in very thick brush. I love everything about this gun, its extremely accurate and hits like a sledgehammer. With good ammo like jsb pellets or good bullets like the noslers I can do dime size groups and smaller at 30 yards. The roundballs aren't bad but you have to sort them and smooth out bad ones. With roundballs I get 1-2 inch groups at 30 yards. I've shot it 50 yards and 100 yards and it's just phenomenal. I was consistently hitting golf balls and clay pigeon fragments on the back hill of the range at 100 yards with the JSB 81 grain pellets and with a little more hold-over, I was doing it with the Nosler 145 grains, which carry alot of energy. Something else is that I love the placement of the fill port, pressure guage(away from the barrel!)

I bought this kit in spring of 2017. I wanted to wait about a year to write a review and Im still just amazed and in love with this gun! I would Add a silencer, but it's not loud. It could benefit from a regulator, but I get about 7-10 high power or lethal shots and about 15-20 good shots @30 yards. I bought the kit so everythings good but bipod is cheap. An important thing to note, If your not careful and/or new to the gun, you can double feed a round. I have only done it once the first time shooting it and have since learned to avoid it just by pulling the bolt all the way back. Nevertheless it should be changed. As i I stated above, The dustcap for the fill port seems cheap, but it's held up. The bolt action lever to cycle the rounds could be farther forward in a more natural position like on the FX bullpups. The trigger is absolutely marvelous especially for a bullpup but it would be cool if adjustable. Also adjustable velocity would be nice but for the price, I can't complain.

BUY IT!!! Stop looking at it and pull the trigger, you won't regret it. I waited a while and looked around at several big bore bullpups in .357, even ones costing 2 and 3 times this price but this one is the best hands down for 1 simple reason. The mag! It holds a vast array of different, large and heavy ammo, and when thats not enough You can single load up to 178 grain slugs. No other bullpup or even most rifles, could come close. The mag also cycles flawlessly. Most .357 bullpup airguns and .357 rifles are just pellet shooters. This can do both pellets and big bullets and slings them with authority. You will most likely have to experiment with different ring heights to get the proper relief. It's not loud, people obviously don't know loud or real firearms. Its not quiet but its like a nail gun or balloon popping but with metal clang, so for the same power as a real powder burner pistol thats great. I love it so much I might buy another one but in black!

This is the best air gun I have ever bought....period. That said, I love this gun, and every one that sees it, wants it, and wants to know where to get one,how much it cost, and everything about it. It is extremely accurate, its light weight, its beautiful, it shoots like a dream and its always on target. its quiet and doesnt scare the deer or turkeys,and I just love it. So just go and buy one,youll love it.

Nothing

Everything! This is a bad ass air gun. Very accurate with most of the 10 pellet types I tested. Top was Nielson 356 115 gn, boilers and JSB. Carries nice. The package is awesome and a perfectly matched scope. I got this for pig and deer hunting we will see. If it will kill a wildebeest it should kill our little 150 pound deer in Georgia. Rarely are shots over 50 yards here. Pyramid air is awesome as always. Excellent staff and customer service!

Pretty loud after 5 rounds it was obvious I needed hearing protection. Improve the shroud for noise.

Uses lots of air. Buy find you can usually shoot a full mag before rounds start to drop at 70 and 100 yards. The next mag is good for 50 and under. This is not a squirrel gun!

The looks shots per fill hard hitting and great price from pyramid air

None right now

Get a sling gun is a little loud practice safety when shooting because this gun will penetrate thru plywood very easily

Very good and good quality thanks.

Nothing

Nice power. Not too loud. Very accurate! Dead on at 80yds within 6 shots. I have no gripes whatsoever with this airgun. Can't wait to try it on big game.

Scope that comes with it is pretty poor. The reticle is hard to get proper eye relief and crosshairs blend in with the target unless in very bright light. Adjustment knobs appeared to be backwards on mine. Gun is a bit heavy to be comfortable, but very accurate.

Excellent gun! Pressure drops off rapidly on colder days, so make shots count.

Accurate took me literally 5 shots to dial in the scope from 25 yards. Dead on last two shots. Love the lever to rotate cartridge very smooth and precise. Need to adjust the trigger a little but not bad out of the box. My first big bore. Looking forward to getting it quieted down some. (pitbull) Do not like wearing hearing protection while shooting. Makes big holes in targets! This gun is serious. The gun bag is REALLY nice.

A better cover for the air port is all I can think of. I'll add to the review after I spend some time with it.

Yeah , it is a blast to shoot. Surprised how light it is w/scope mounted. The scope is really nice. Looking forward to taking some long shots with it see what I can do....will need an electric air pump next , no doubts. This thing likes air. Nice package.
