That's quite reasonable. It may be be a bit more to ship here to CA.
The Realtree version is out of stock until June. May have to wait until then.

Thanks for the file location DiabloSniper, it was exactly what I needed. I can see how to get the air valve out now. Regards, Tom

How much does the gun actually weigh w/o optics? Crosman says it weighs 7.7 lbs. I'm OK with that if the claim is accurate.

I'll try and put it on my scale tomorrow if I get the chance, however just about 8lbs without any thing on it is fairly accurate, I think I weighed mine with a full mag, bipod and scope it was almost 12lbs.

About 6 months ago, I shot a string with 104.25 DWC, they look like trashcans. The string was as follows in my Bulldog.
3100psi fill 782, 809, 827, 831, 831, 818, 808, 797, 779, 761 2050psi ending. Highest was 160ft lbs
Tonight the following after drilling the ports out to .277" and the hammer spring tightened
3200psi fill 886, 922, 954, 957, 944, 928, 908, 881, 886 1900psi ending Highest was 212 ft lbs. I'll search up some heavier ammo tomorrow and see what the ft lbs goes to. Regards, Tom

I messed with my Bulldog yesterday and am pleased with the results. The gun is shooting 81gr JSB's at 920fps avg with an ES of 23fps for 5 shots. 10 shots takes the ES up to almost 80fps which for me is not acceptable. 150+FPE for 5 very consistent shots(an actual bell curve) is more than enough for my needs. I have spent a couple days playing with some different bullets, but they don't come close to the accuracy of the JSB's. Since I don't have anything bigger than a coyote to hunt here in Ohio, I think I will just stick with the JSB's.

OK, through the Bulldog, today I shot 1 161.3gr RN .713 long at 826fps for 244fpe, 4 185gr spitzer .915 long at 711fps for 208fpe and a 5/8" group at 50 yards, that is excellent because I am a bit wobbly, 5 231.5gr spitzer HP's 1.075 long at 652fps for 219fpe and a 1.5" group. I have the mold for the first bullet so I will get a group later. Regards, Tom

mines accurrate with 81 grain but i found if you go up to say 150 grain needed for hunting deer not accurrate at all call benjamin man told me you had to tune it for bigger grain bullets why didn,t they tune before they put them on the market to sell telling everyone they are good for deer hunting take my word for it don,t buy one if you planing on using it for deer

So you resurrected a 7 month old thread to tell us you don't know how to tune an airgun? The gun is capable, properly adjusted. If you don't know how, send it to Brian Thurman at Veradium Air. It will come back ready to hunt.

A 5 year old thread. Simple searches on AGN, Google, and YouTube yield results that speak for themselves. From what I’ve seen and experienced the Benjamin Bulldog is more than capable of taking any game animal in Texas with a proper tune. This wouldn’t be my go to for moose or bear sized game (in other states), but for deer and smaller game I say have at it if you have tested and grown comfortable with the Bulldog’s limits and capabilities and Airgun Hunting is legal where you’re hunting. The poster in question is obviously new and could benefit from reading more and watching more videos on the Bulldog platform. It may have saved him some confusion prior to making his purchase. In my opinion the gun is worth keeping if your state allows deer hunting with airguns.

Seems you may need to try different ammo. I get excellent results with my NSA 142gr slugs. All you need is 4" groups at 100 yards for a heart lung shot on a deer.
If you can't get that with the Bulldog, then I don't know what to tell ya.
