The Benjamin Bulldog .457 gives you even more of what you loved from the popular Bulldog series so you can take bigger game than you could before. You get speeds up to 760 fps and power up to 450 fpe with this upgraded version because it uses .457 slugs or pellets, meaning you'll have over twice the power of the smaller caliber version.
The added power of this air rifle comes from the longer air cylinder it uses, but you'll still get up to three shots at lethal power, and the overall length of the gun is still very maneuverable at 36.38", which is less than half an inch longer than the .357. You'll also appreciate the accuracy of this rifle, because it uses a precision rifled barrel.
The Benjamin Bulldog .457 gives you quieter shots in spite of the fact that it's so powerful because it uses a baffle-less SoundTrap system, and there's an M18 threaded muzzle adapter that lets you add a moderator for shots so quiet your quarry won't know where you are.
The features hunters know and love from the .357 version are here in the .457 too, like the reversible sidelever that makes it left hand friendly, plus the extended 26" Picatinny scope rail that makes it a breeze for you to add large scopes or other sighting accessories. Plus, you get front and rear sling studs, a ridged rubber recoil pad, and a textured pistol grip, which all make this gun comfortable and easy to use and carry.
This is one dog that definitely hunts, so if you're ready to step up to a bigger bore version of an already great gun with more power to take down more game, get the Benjamin Bulldog .457 from Airgun Depot now.

Pros
Great
This rifle is AMAZING! I purchased the original Benjamin Bulldog 357 after the new Benjamin Bulldog M just came out and Crossman was liquidating the old ones. This weapon exceeded my expectations. It is very powerful and very accurate. The first thing that I did was test its power. I loaded it with a one hundred fifty grain nosler, aimed it at a two by four, and squeezed the trigger. It went right through the two by four with ease. I sighted it in at twenty five yards and it was good to go out to one hundred yards and beyond. I leveled a jack rabbit with it at seventy five yards the next day. This is truly an AMAZING weapon. I can hardly wait until deer season.
Pros
Everything!
Cons
The plastic safety.
I mounted a 4x16 scope and even though the gun is a little heavy it is so well balanced you don't notice it. Overall I am very happy with my purchase.
Pros
This gun is very accurate using the 81.01 gr. Predator Polymag pellets or a cast 106 gr. SWC slug from a Lee mold. Both shoot both under 1 inch groups at 50 yards. Being a Bullpup design the weight is well balanced and it has a good feeling trigger, brakes at 3 lbs
Cons
The air filler cover needs to be improved and to say the gun is loud is an understatement. My gun came with a 18x1 threaded cap so it was easy to find a suppressor that fit and it brought the sound level down to a medium or even lower
What is this thing gonna do with a HUMA regulator in it?
Just saying
Pros
I had the original.357 Bulldog I put in a HUMA Regulator in it.
I would set it at 2100psi and I was still getting 7 shots at 886 fps.with 110 gn.NSAs.
Cons
I didn't extend the fill tube, but it's a heck of lot better than the massive power curve, that was unexpected from what ever weight projectiles you were putting in it.
Pros
Compact,feels perfect on the pull up trigger pull is great,Been shooting 350 grain and 400 grain very accurate blew apart a concrete block,this is not your grand daddy's pellet gun although haven't shot a deer yet with it very confident with a good shot it will down most anything your shooting at
Cons
350 grains benjamin ammo doesn't fit in magazine bit overall not many negatives
Pros
Happy with my purchase :)
SAFETY with ALL big-bore rifles...
Pros
The size and weight get's a little weighty if you're not used to it yet. The ease of use, firepower and it look's V-E-R-Y futuristic... I love it! Plan on complimenting it with it's big brother, .50 cal real soon.
Cons
The refilling valve protector. The locking lip is easily broken and the small latch WILL fall into the filling chamber and be trapped in the well which you can't get out. The weapon has to be sent out for repairs. Just got one last we and while trying to remove for refilling, it broke off. Haven't even had it for a week. Now trying to get it repaired already.
Got this in a 45 ah had to build the scope up so it was usual for me but it was a very well-made gun it shoots well and I would recommend it to anyone
Pros
Powerful good at 75 yards
Cons
Not a thing
This rifle takes getting used to. For an air rifle, it's a bit heavy... it felt awkward to use, at first... but, now that I've put several rounds downrange, I like her!
Pros
Very accurate! I was able to dope the scope for 25 yds, and these are the results...
Cons
The rubber recoil pad sucks! It falls off way too easily!
Question?
Login to ask someone who bought this product.Can Airgun Depot add a Huma regulator and a Donny FL suppressor with adapter upon request and order of the upgrades?
asked Francisco fromAirgun Depot does not sell Huma regulators or have a custom shop.
Adam from USAWhat type of Huma regulator can the 257 caliber take, and roughly the price to order.
asked Francisco from.457 and .257 versions include M18 threads for DonyFl
Michael from USAHuma-Air High Power Tuning regulator for the Benjamin Bulldog airrifle. This set comes together with a stainless steel front quickfill what replaced the factory endcap of the pressure tube. It is a $158 price.
Michael from USAThe 3,000 psi cylinder fill equates to 206.7 Bar pressure. Is there an add on tank that is more than the 440cc and can be filled to a higher pressure?
asked Francisco fromWhat is the active rifling length of the barrel that the pellet travels, minus any forward baffles or such for the 257 caliber?
asked Francisco fromHow many rounds on a full tank
asked Jeff from USA3 good shots in .457.
Adam from USAcan a guy put a donny fl on this?
asked Paul from USA.457 and .257 versions include M18 threads for DonyFl
Michael from USAIt depends on the caliber you buy...two of the calibers you could but DonyFl won't quiet it down more than 30db. Check out Pitbull air who specializes in moderator for this rife
Michael from USAWill the new airbolt work in the Benjamin bulldog
asked Carlton from USACan you buy a suppressor for this weapon, and where can I purchase one?
asked Larry from USA.457 and .257 versions include M18 threads for suppression add on
Michael from USAWhat is the max. fill pressure?
asked terry from USAHow is moderate fitted
asked Tom from USA.457 and .257 versions include M18 threads you need for a moderator
Michael from USAIf you order from Donnyfl you have to buy the adapter that replaces the end cap and the moderator screws right onto the threaded adapter. Very easy. I have the Emperor moderator and it does a good job.
Ronald from USAdo the bull pup shoots arrow bolts
asked jim from USAdo the bull dog pup shoot arrow bolts
asked jim from USANO
Richard from USADoes this come with any means of filling the tank? Or is that a separate purchase?
asked Dan from USANO PUMP(not easy), Bottle(expensive) or compresure ($200+to thousands) pick 1
Richard from USAWho covers the 5 year warranty on this? Also is there a list of what ammo can be shot through this?
asked Bryant from USAHelo Can it be disassembled ? Can I load with an air compressor or manualy ?
asked VÃtorIt can be disassembled. You can use an air compressor as long as it has a 3000 psi output.
Ronald from USAWhich gun is louder... the bulldog or the condor ss?
asked SteveDefinitely the bull dog!
Garywill bulldog357 might loud but other like air force and taxen much louder
Billy from USAThey are both rated with 4 medium-high. About about as loud as punching your leg
Vitobulldog is way louder..
OneEyedJack Great Falls MT.This gun is much louder than the Condor SS which is a shrouded gun. This gun is as loud as the AirForce Texan (which is unshrouded) in my opinion.
Jonwhat do you think of this rifle for power and accuracy and what is the best clean kill to date
asked hamish150 lb hog at 50 yrds. Nosler went through lungs above shoulder and was bullet seen bouncing off water in lake behind hog. Hog dropped in 30 feet.
Tony from USAwill have seen video of hunting with bulldog 357 and kills are clean and fast so this make good survival gun and practices gun maybe home defends I am every impress on this air gun I would like own one but I will save one up too just that
Billy from USAAs far as I know it is 900fps with a 145 grain 357. Pellet And the latest recorded trophy was a white-tale deer in south Carolina
VitoI have tried lots of pellets and pure lead cast bullets . For pellets the H&N Grizzly 82 gr. hollow points are good for small game , target shooting ,I use them for sighting in new sights ,scopes and red dots . The sizing of the pellet is a bit smaller than .357 there .35 caliber .What makes them shoot able is the rear is concave , I've done some tuning and tinkering with one of my Bulldogs so the extra oomph opens up the rear of the pellet and expands the lead against the inner barrel sealing it enough for 900 plus psi ! close to 145 fpe .My favorite's for my own pure lead cast bullets are .358 Lee 125 gr round flat top 869 fps / 220 fps ,and my self defense round is the Lee 2 cavity ,358 diameter 158 round flat tip ( 163 gr ) with pure lead at close to 800 fps for 231 fpe my best kill to date was dead center shot through both sides of my outdoor grille !lol clean hole going in close to a quarter coming out.

Airgun Depot's no hassle return is bs. I managed to test this gun only twice, but because 45 days elapsed since purchase date due to me being out of town a few weeks, they won't take it back. This was a $1000 waist of money.
Pros
Only good thing about this gun is the potential power it can deliver.
Cons
This gun is a huge safety hazard. It nearly blew my face apart when the breach seal blew. It blew a huge hole in the magazine and ejected a heavy .457 caliber round out of the magazine within centimeters of my face and eyes. Airgun Depot will not take it back. Additionally, aside from the safety issue, its ugly looks and setup, I would have to spend at least another $800 on after market service/upgrades for it to be competitive with the likes of Airforce Texan. The only reason I purchased this was for its attached magazine, but even that is a joke on 45 cal version.
