What's a good .357 under 1k

"TheLakeRat"Zebra, What's the energy level on those JKhans?
And I would hane to disagree on the stock. Mine is as rigid as anything I've ever held and much more so than any Hastan I've ever held.

No it's not. I have one here and they are garbage. I can bend it into an arc plus it's in two pieces. Crossman sells them as a replacement part for $12 which is about right in terms of value.

Maybe with the sides of the gun itself. But not when its assembled. At least not mine. Mine is a first production run though. Maybe it's different.
Do you by chance know the energy level of the other 357s?
I'm interested to know if there are any in the same price point as a Bulldog that can compete worth is power.
Mine has given me a proven power of 247ft/lbs on air and 454ft/lbs on helium.

NO flex of any kind on the one in our house.
Zebra, why the hate?

Seems every bit as nice as the only $2,000 "plastic" ( just the stock) airgun. I have used.

Nice mono block design, trigger is VASTLY better than any of the Korean rigs, simple to work on and the best support in the U.S.

The only flimsy part I've noticed on my bulldog is the foster fitting cap. It's probably my least favorite part of the build, and the only quality concern at all.

I don't hate the bulldog, just the stock. Bad stocks with thin cheap plastic are a particular pet hate of mine. The way to test the flex is to assemble it (i.e. both halves) without the action and try twisting it. There should be no movement at all in a good stock. If there is movement without the action then it means you are stressing the action when it's in there. 

Don't get me wrong, I think it's good that Crossman provides a cheaper option for people who want a 357. I just think, if you have up to $1000 to spend, the Jkhan is a better buy. 

I have used both air guns and I really believe it's better in build quality, accuracy and choice of styles. I know that sort of comment can be upsetting to people who have already bought the Bulldog but if somebody asks for opinions on the best way to spend $1000, surely it is best to offer an honest opinion....

For contrast in stocks, for people who like the futuristic styling of the Bulldog, the 357 Jkhan Iluda is all metal and they also offer the same gun in both rifle and bullpup for people who prefer wood with the Krossa.
