Benjamin Bulldog Real Tree Xtra Reviews

this is a serious hunting gun and its designed as such .. you get 5 'real' shots which is plenty. i'll describe it by comparison - it makes alot of noise stock like a .22 short more or less, it has power about like a .38 snub revolver but much more accurate of course .. you got killing power for up to medium game out to about 55-60 imo .. put an emperor ldc and a hill depinger on it and now its about as loud as a stock marauder pistol, maybe a tad more but in that ballpark and backyard friendly now ..

dfl emperor and hill depinger to quiet the blast and ring ..

this is not a plinker its a hunting tool so will not be cheap and easy to shoot hundreds of rounds all day playing around ...it uses alot of air and pellets etc are expensive ..

This exceeded my expectations and was well worth the wait (almost a year on back order). It is surprisingly quieter than expected, Ive shot the original version the Rougue which was way louder. This sounds like a light .22 with a springy ring to it...hard to describe. But you dont need ear pro.

I would try to quiet the slinging sound that follows with the shot. The bulk of it sounds hollow so maybe possible to add some padding/noise reducing pads in there, similar to what some do to silence spring powered air soft rifles. Taking the plastic part off to fill it feels a tad cheesy but besides that the thing is truly awesome and enjoy using it. Highly recommended!

Buy extra mags and highly recommend the Air Venturi compressor over the others to charge it. Dont try using a hand pump, they are not bulit for it and you have to go slow with them. Buying a compact compressor was the best assessors for this where you dont have to run to the store anymore.

I haven't shot it any further than 25 yards yet, but at 25 its unbelievably accurate using the JSB pellets. After i got it sighted in, (4 shots) i managed to put 10 in a row into a 1/2 inch group without much trouble. Using a bipod on a table. Seems very powerful so far. When i first saw this rifle when it came out , i didn't care for the looks of it. Now that i own it i love it ! It shoulders well, easy to shoot accurately and not too heavy. I have some 127 gr cast bullets that im looking forward to trying. Im sure i wont be disappointed I put a DONNYFL RONIN suppressor on it and it really tamed the bark. Highly recommended

Same as everyone says, the fill probe cover and its location. But, is what it is. Not that big of a deal.

If your wife dont kill ya for buying it, the hand pump will. It uses a lot of air , i have a scuba tank and a compressor so not an issue for me but if you dont youll need one or the other, trust me on this one

Even though it has a strange shape I found it shoots better off hand than all my other air rifles. The most accurate pellet is the 124gr 9mm bullet that I cast with pure lead, the second is the JSB pellet. I like that it is made by an American company and can be repaired if something goes wrong. The report is loud but not near as bad as I thought it would, no ear muffs needed. It has a good trigger pull and the magazine works perfect.I had been holding out for the 50 cal hammer but I have given up and got this instead. I don't plan to shoot big game so this will work very well for the coons and such that need to be thinned out.

The fill cover is not practical, you will need to get a rubber cap like Airforce uses.

This rifle uses a lot of air, After the first five shots the pellets start hitting lower, so I had to fill after each magazine. You need a 110v pump if you want to shoot much.

I purchased this gun as 2nd choice but I cancelled my order for the hammer and got this.it looked awkward in the online pictures but It feels great in the hands and it's light all the weight is in the rear. Shooting from the shoulder it comfortable. I'm glad it comes with sling mounts. The cocking lever operates smooth ,the magazine is great and has indicator "red paint" for rounds left, after you fire 5rounds the bolt cannot chamber forward with empty mag. The accuracy is great to 65yards (my firing range).

The only thing I would change is the fill probe cover, It is cheap. I took mine off and put an Air Venturi cap on it.

I put 300+ rounds threw it my 1st time out with it. The magazine is large and will accept almost all custom cast and swaged bullets. Shooting 145gr ballistic tips I sighted in at 50yd at 65yd 1mil hold

Bought this bad boy little over a month ago but no time to take it out and shoot it, at all! Been waiting on delivery of compressors, connection parts, and so on from this vender and others. Been dying to pull the trigger other than dry firing it a couple of times to check the decibel output. Long story short, went through a really nasty divorce, psycho ex lied a bunch and secured MY house from me, stole my guns, ammo, furniture,.... Yada, yada, yada. She also threw my deer heads into an open shed with no doors for over a year where rodents/squirrels ate the noses off of my mounts; 4 in total. Thousands of dollars later I've got my house back for a year and a half now. I'm fixing everything, buying new furniture, blah,,blah blah. All the while I've been waiting on the opportunity to get revenge on the critters that vandalized my mounts. Today, victory!! Fat squirrel chewing on a skull mount at ten yds, first shot ever(no practice), smoked him!!! Squirrel stew! Any questions?

Never marry again and buy more air guns and ammo!

Don't get married and if you do, don't leave your guns, ammo, and mounts behind, ever! BTW, under current law you can't have your firearms if a protective order (or false claims of violence) are brought against you but you can have an air rifle or bow and arrow (air and string). So, if the crap hits the fan, you can still enjoy your hobbies or shooting but it will be limited to air gunning. (FYI, I have my gun rights back but am starting to dig this air gunning thing!) Thank you pyramid air for helping to restore a part of me that was taken against my will and my rights. Oh, regarding the Bulldog......it's very accurate right out of the box. Dead squirrels don't lie (well they don't say much).

weight and balance are exceptional, will be easy to carry in the field

Trigger is a bit heavy but doable. Noise is extreme, perhaps work on that in future designs.

Shoot Predator polymags or JSB and you will be amazed at the accuracy.

Everything I enjoy shooting!. Lots of power.

Fill cover is junk . mine broke off and Crosman did send a new one right out fast.

Ammo is very expensive. Uses a lot of air fast so I would use a fill Tank.

Excellent gun cleaned barrel good was dirty.within 5 shots had sight in shooting quarter size groups at 50yds with the jsbs.

Nothing

So far after a month, this gun is by far my favorite! Powerful, accurate, easy to shoulder. Went shooting with my buddies who were using firearms and they were amazed!

Nothing!!!!!

Buy more than one extra clip for it!

I like the fact that it's a repeater and delivers enough energy to be able to harvest medium to larger game. The ergos are great with the balance being more toward the butt of the rifle. Makes for shooting offhand comfortable. With practice I have been able to shoot 1 1/2 inch groups @ 75 yards using the JSB 81 gn pellet. The nosler 140 gn shoot well and even though they are heavier than the JSBs the BC of the nosler does not drop the point of impact but about 1/2 in. @ 75 yrds. Pretty awesome air rifle.

Make it easer to power tune.

When mounting the scope (Aeon) all I had was medium Utg 30mm rings. I had to get a 3/4" riser to get the proper cheek well. Really love shooting it but requires a lot of air. Fill after 5 shots.

Light weight, accurate, lots of knock-down power, smooth cocking lever, acessories fit easily, well constructed.

The loudness, but you have to consider the air it disperses for the shot size! Cheek-piece should be adjustable. Price should be less, found another dealer that had $899.99 sale price for the black model but did not have camo. Camo cost me $1099.99, $200 more just for the color, crazy, but I had to have it!

If you try it, you'll like it!
