We tried this one out with Air Venturi .357 Cal, 127 Grains, Round Nose slugs that gave us a hard hitting 151 foot pounds at 732 FPS. With that kind of impact energy, it is obvious that this is not an air rifle for plinking. This could kill larger mammals so it is understood that it is not be handled by people that are not educated in the handling of weapons. Any shooting performed with this beast must be performed with the same care as with a regular firearm.
The ample selection of Picatinny rails mean that you can attach just about any firearm accessory you would like. Cameras, any mono-pod, bi-pod, scopes, laser sights.
Being a bullpup of the easily manageable weight of 7.7 lb and a meagre 36″ in length, this unit is very convenient to carry in the field, even in heavy brush.
The rifle does not come with a scope. I mounted an AEON 3-12×50 AO with trajectory reticle. A Chinese made scope that has good hunting characteristics at a good price.
I used an Air Venturi Carbon Fiber Air Tank & Fill Station to charge the PCP rifle. We shoot with an insanely high 2900 PSI pressure. There is no way of overcharging the rifle. There is a bleeder valve that protects us from that. You could still use a hand pump if you don’t want to go via an Air Tank, but expect to get some exercise in the process.
There is no way to do personal adjustments on the trigger. The trigger is preset at a 2 pound first stage and a 3 pound third stage. The necessity to fix the pressure thus is probably due to the bullpup design. The linkage goes from the trigger finger to the pressure release close to your shoulder.
Ideal for use in non-shooting friendly states. Despite the immense power contained in it, it is technically an air-rifle after all.As for noise, it is LOUD. Despite sound suppression tech this is not a quiet airgun. You are gonna need to know what is behind your target at all times. We tested the sound level at 110 decibel.
I have to say when I first saw the Bulldog I was not sure what I was gonna make of it. Having shot a few hundred rounds through it I have to say this is a real shooter. Easy to use easy to load, easy to cock, powerful.
It is sturdy, a big chunk of metal and synthetic, no dings. Got accuracy up to 75 yards, even though it goes way longer. Lots of slugs to choose from. Ballistic tips. Flatnose etc.
I think this has a lot going for it. Crosman / Benjamin hit it out of the park: Can’t think of anything that I don’t like about it. It would have been nice to have weaver rails on both sides. It does have one on the bottom for a bipod. Very useful for hunting in prone position.
If your intention is to move into big bore air rifle hunting, the Benjamin Bulldog fits the bill very well indeed.
