Benjamin Bulldog Bullpup, Realtree Xtra

Pros
Very accurate gun. Sighted in at 25 yards to get started. After 10 shots to get the scope dialed in, I made a 3 shot group at 25 yards. One ragged hole with 81 grain Poly Mags. I love it!

Cons
Nothing

This gun is an absolute beast. High powered out the box, and has great accuracy at 50 yards that will pretty much take whatever it hits.

Pros
Works awesome with my favorite pellets (Predator Polymags)

Cons
It's shrouded but loud, hit up Donny FL

These may be strange looking, but man are the awesome!!! And Lots of fun!

Called company nearly a month after item shipment, they said it was returned undeliverable to them. I was not informed nor contacted about it, after calling I was told to expect my refund in 10-14 days and they would not reship. Sounds like unauthorized borrowing and illegal loan practices. I'm sure this product is great when your not getting

Pros
Has goodbpurported features

Cons
Bought as gift they did not get.

I purchased this gun with the whole kit (Camo bulldog, Centerpoint 4-16x56 glass etched reticle scope with sunshade, premium benjamin sling, bipod, Threaded polymer cleaning rod, Tactical brown benjamin soft case, Nosler ammo) in realtree xtra from airgun depot's sister company, but I have ordered things from airgun depot and there customer service is excellent. Even though I purchased the whole gun and kit somewhere else, I felt the need to post this review. Before I purchased this bulldog, I did alot of research. This .357 Bulldog bullpup puts out up to 200 foot pounds and can fire up to a 175 grain bullet. Out of all the .357 bullpups I looked at and shot, I felt the bulldog was the best choice in terms of power, reliability, multiple ammo choices, ease of use, durability. I was stuck for a while on the Kalibr Cricket .357 bullpup but its power was 110 foot pounds as opposed to the bulldogs near 200, the Crickets mag was short which limits ammo size and choices and the cricket only liked certain ammo due to the slight difference in 9mm,.357,.35. This was the same with Evanix bullpups and the rainstorm 3D. Dont get me wrong, the cricket and rainstorm 3d were both brilliant and great shooters as were other Evanix bullpups in .357 but they didnt have the power, durability,that I was looking for. This bulldog is plenty accurate too. I almost didnt buy it because the videos I seen of people shooting it, didnt seem that accurate. But after getting mine its really accurate. Even with 66 grain roundballs, which people said those were the most innaccurate. At 30 yards i can put 66grain roundballs in a 1 inch group (you have to sort out the roundballs by hand to only shoot the most uniform and conistent ones). The jsb 81 grain pellets are clover leaf groups around half inch to inch at 30 yards. At 50 and 60 yards at the range I havent gotten to do alot of testing but I was acheiving about 2 inch groups with jsbs and about the same with the nosler 145 grain after finding correct holdover. That day it was really windy and raining so Im sure It could do much better with better conditions. People say this guns loud. Its not. Its not quiet by any means like my marauder but its nothing like a .22 firearm. I shoot my bulldog in my backyard at 30 yards with a 1/4" thick, 4 foot by 4 foot steel plate backdrop. For the ammount of power its putting out, Its not entirely that bad. Its Like a baloon popping with metal clang. I wish it was quieter or had baffles, why the shroud with no baffles beats me. Its not really light but Its extremely well balanced and very ergonomic so shouldering and pointing It feels really good and natural. It has sling swivel studs so equipping it with a nice sling makes it a breeze to carry in the woods all day. The full length picatinny rail and underside picatinny rail makes mounting anything so fast. Any AR-15 optic, lights, lasers, infared illuminators, nightvision, or even open sights, mounts and hooks up in one second and the full length rail gives you plenty of real estate for those accessorys. The lever bolt action is smooth but being back by your shoulder, it takes some getting used to and would be better farther forward. The pressure gauge is on the side, Away from the end of the barrel. Pressure guages should NEVER be right next to the end of the barrel! The bulldogs fill port is in a great spot too, back by the shoulder stock whale tale underneath and it sits under a plastic dust cover. The trigger is a nice solid die cast aluminum skelotonized type and breaks nice. The safety is plastic and is a bit noisy until you learn how to master It. The plastic safety seems like an afterthought but its nice that its manual not automatic, so follow up shots are quick and easy. The whole upper half of the gun, and upper picatinny mount is metal, and solid. The mags hold 5 rounds and are great. There really easy to load and can fit a vast array of bullets, pellets and roundballs. The mags are really long and can accomidate tall (which in most cases means heavier) bullets. A neat thing about the mags are when its fully loaded, theres a small green mark on mag which is visible when shouldered and when its empty, theres a small red mark on the top of the mag to let you kow your out. (The bolt will not go forward when mags empty as well) The scope that came with the kit (centerpoint Mil-dot 4-16x56) is crystal clear and has a very fine glass etched reticle on the second focal plane. I believe this scope cost about $200, but it rivals scopes costing double. One reviewer stated his cross hairs were crooked. Mine are perfect. Many people have said this is the best scope to come on a gun from the factory as a kit or combo and I would have to agree. The finely etched glass mil-dot reticle is outstanding. The bipod that came with kit wasnt special but it works fine. The sling is really nice and so isnt the benjamin soft case. All in all this is a fantastic gun and hunting tool thats very powerful, accurate, balanced, and durable, at a amazing price

Pros
Extremely powerful, accurate, balanced, easy to point or shoulder, very ergonomic and all around great shape/design. Gun has sling swivel studs, shrouded barrel. Full length picatinny rail on top is great for any tactical or AR-15 type optics, sights, or other accessorys and offers plenty of real estate, Extra picatinny on bottom great for bipod, lights, lasers, infared illuminators etc. Gun is durable, made in u.s.a.,. Gun shoots wide range of ammo, great mags that are easy to load and long. Gun is pretty compact and easy to carry in thick brush, easy to fill or pump, easy to clean and keep clean, great trigger, Perfect placement of pressure guage and fill port, action is smooth, Quick connect Foster fitting instead of leaky probes. Guns not obnoxiously loud, good shot count, good consistency for no regulator. Realtree camo not only looks great but is functional

Cons
bit on the heavy side, no baffles in shroud (why benjamin/crosman didnt install baffles is mind boggling because they couldve made it quieter), longer than most bullpups. Safety is plastic and seems like an afterthought. If not familiar with gun, you can double load a round.

will it shoot other caliber pellets ?

This was much more then what I expected... I am very happy so far with the purchase and the on time arrival! Will see as time passes if it holds up to its quality so far very 😁!

This is the most awesome thing I have ever seen.

Pros
Greatness

Cons
none
