Benjamin Bulldog .357 Air Rifle Review

Like we previously mentioned, the Bulldog uses a unique bullpup design that keeps the gun small and compact. Bullpups place the main firing mechanism further back behind the actual trigger, instead of above it like a traditional rifle. This gives the gun the ability to be a lot shorter than other guns while still capable of producing the same muzzle velocities. This is because the gun uses the same barrel lengths, but still gives you a shorter overall gun that is very compact and maneuverable.

On top of the bullpup design, the Bulldog gives you a full length Picatinny rail of 26 inches. This allows you to mount any scope or optic system that you want, whether it is high powered scopes for hunting or red dot sights for target practice. There is also a 5 and a half inch rail that allows you to mount other useful accessories, such as lasers, lights, or grips. Equip this rifle with your favorite optics and accessories, and it is sure to impress you.

The Bulldog also features a sound suppression design on the muzzle which is made to help keep it even quieter. This SoundTrap baffle-less design keeps it reasonably quiet for such a high-powered weapon. It is obviously much quieter than your traditional hunting rifle, although it may still be a little too loud to use casually in the backyard. Still, one major advantage to using air rifles to hunt with is just how quiet they are when compared to traditional firearms.

The Bulldog uses a pre-charged pneumatic design, meaning there is an additional air supply to the rifle from either a gas canister or hand pump. This additional air is stored in reserve until a round is fired. This particular gun uses a 340cc reservoir and has a max fill pressure of 3000 psi. This means a lot of power, especially on your first shot!

The first round that is fired will be the most powerful and will come out at around 800 feet per second with the most amount of pressure. After that, each round will progressively have less pressure until you reach around 650 to 680 feet per second (2000 psi) with the final shot. According to the manufacturer of the gun, it can achieve speeds as high as 910 fps although this will be with perfect conditions and the highest possible pressure.

One of the greatest draws of this rifle is that it has a repeat fire mode. This will give you the ability to keep shooting and not have to keep loading new rounds into the chamber after every shot. It can chamber up to five shots, which is a good capacity for an air gun with this kind of power.

With a full length of 36 inches and weight of just 7.7 pounds, this gun has excellent usability and is very versatile. Besides being one of the most maneuverable and effective air guns on the market, the Bulldog also has plenty of extra features that make it appealing.

For example, it has an added manual safety which is extremely important with a gun this powerful. It also includes a rubber butt pad to help soften the felt recoil, although it does not have the same recoil as a traditional rifle that you may be used to.

Unlike many other air guns on the market today, the Bulldog has a large selection of aftermarket parts and accessories that you can use to further customize and outfit your gun. This means even more versatility when it comes to making your gun suit your specific needs. From moderators to help buffer the noise to bipods and night vision systems, the possibilities are endless.

Last but certainly not least, one important thing to note about this particular air gun is its ease of use when it comes to filling it up with air. All you will need is a bottle or pump that quickly and easily attaches to the rifle. This will fill it up to 3000 psi in a short amount of time, allowing you to quickly get back to hunting or shooting without waiting a long period of time or the need for specialized tools or equipment.
