Benjamin Bulldog Bullpup Combo, .357 cal

The bulldog is my first PCP. I bought the combo package. The centerpoint scope is great. I actually had it fall off of my shooting bench my first day with it. Figured I was going to have to replace it. Nope. I got the same groups on my next 5 shots. It's air thirsty more than some reviews. 82 grain grizzlies at 10 rounds drops it to 1800psi. At 50 yards, I'm getting about a inch and a half group with an occasional flyer. Punches right through my 3/4 inch plywood backstop and leaves divots in the gravel pile another 10 yards down. Only things I don't like about it are, the fill cover is kind of difficult to remove. I always feel like I'm going to break it. My biggest problem is, it just doesn't feel comfortable putting it to my shoulder. It kind of feels awkward. After 100 rounds, I'm getting the feel for it but, it just doesn't throw up like I would like. Overall, I am happy with it. Fit and finish are great. The picatinny rails offer so many options.

Pros
Accurate. Well priced. Well made. I have unfortunately drop tested mine and other than a tiny scratch on the scope, you wouldn't know. Serious fpe. The magazine is good. The combo package is excellent. If you are into spending money on customizing your gun, maybe just get the gun. If you are like me, good scope, decent bipod, nice soft case etc. Get the combo. I'm going to hunt coyotes, and marmots with it. I could throw money at it but I don't see the point. It's set up perfect.

Cons
Ergonomics just don't feel comfortable to me. Cheek placement and finding my target takes more effort than I'm used to. It's more air hungry than some reviews say. Dust cover is a pain to remove, afraid that I will break it. I don't like the safety. I prefer something that my trigger finger can't just flip. That's personal preference though. Bit more air hungry than some reviews say. 82 grain pellets gets me 10 shots. 3000 down to 1800.

Very accurate quarter size one hole groups at 25 yds . 1 1/2 to 2 " at 50 yds Have a Donnyfl empior moderator and is now back yard friendly Good looks and feel perfect hunting pcp for deer size game.

Pros
Good price point , accurate pcp , multi shot great looks dependable.

Cons
Loud without moderator , could use larger air tank , otherwise excellent pcp

In California there is not a single gun range that will accept this pcp bulldog for target practice. Some say too powerful some say not real firearm and were in disbelief that a PCP can fire those size bullets and pellets 0.357 and finally one gun range indoor pistol range worried about metal ricochet and despite spending all the $ for my own safe target range,neighbor complained about the noise and sound of projectiles hitting metal 3/8 inch target plates with spring shock absorbers. so since I can�t use it,gun was thrown in metal inciinerator. also no one wanted To refill Benjamin air tank so all I can do is use hand pump. California has extremely strict gun laws. yet we have more gun violence in this state than most

Pros
Great accurate gun fun to fire but too many neighbors scared of sound

Cons
Can�t use in California

I perchased this rifle in December 2016 it been about six months now and all I can say is awesome. I get 2 1/2 inch groupings at 50 yards with velocity between 925fps - 1022fps first clip. Second after clip it drops to 673fps - 857fps. Beautiful peice of machinery; figuratively and literally. The Benjamin Bulldog .357cal. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾

Pros
Accurate, Powerful, Easy to handle and use. I LOVE THIS GUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cons
Too loud depending on the environment. Could use more shots per fill. Cocking mechanism it's a bit hard to cock and I'm a big guy who works out.

By far my favorite rifle, even versus powder rifles!

Pros
Accurate, very powerful, great look, great feel, easy to operate. This rifle can be handled with a feather touch. Likely the best pcp on the market.

Cons
Short stock (it's a bullpup). Loud. Could use a mod to attach a suppressor. Otherwise, perfect.
