I'll second that .357 BDM vs the Seneca Recluse. I'm vacillating soooo much over which to purchase. A good share would be helpful.

Almost entirely target, 50 to 100 yards. I live in So Call near the ocean, in suburbia, where noise is a huge factor. Therefore I fill up my wildcat and avenger 25 calibers and drive to an outdoor range 96 miles round trip, once every couple of weeks to shoot, maybe a little more. I also have an HW44 and a marauder pistol which I Buck Railed into a carbine to I take to the indoor range near my house. I've pretty much made up my mind, the Recluse is it. My thinking is I can fill up the Recluse and get 20 shots, my FX gets app. 50 shots and my Avenger gets approximately 50, so all-together I get 120 shots which is a fair amount of shooting in a session. The pluses for the M357 BD are more power, lighter, and I'm a big fan of Benjamín quality. Negatives are, $250 more, only 5 shots vs. 20 before having to fill it, the BD is sorta ugly in my mind. I know some people like the Sci Fi looks of the BD, I get it. But I'm partial to the more classic look of the Recluse. I seriously doubt at age 72 I'm going to do much big game hunting but I would like to go shoot wild pigs some day. The Recluse should have adequate power. BTW - I have 2 compressors.... and a Guppy bottle which I rarely use and don't want to start. I would still like to hear your opinion. Today I spoke with 2 different industry experts and they were split., one vote for each.

@wgd I am biased as a hunter and one who is particularly partial to the .357 Benjamin Bulldog platform. I love it. I like the look of the Seneca rifles, but I have real world experience with the Bulldog hunting and target shooting with pellets, slugs, and air bolts. I wouldn’t purchase either for target shooting. I’d stick to a .30 for that if I wanted something relatively large in caliber. My .30 of choice as of now is the AAA Evol, for paper punching and hunting with pellets. Aside from that I’d go .25 caliber for paper punching. I have a Brocock Bantam Sniper HR .25 that does well there and I’ve taken squirrels, rabbits, and beaver with it shooting domed pellets.

Thank you, but less than .357 wax not an option. We agree, Benjamin’s are quality. But 5 shots is a deal killer and don’t forget my price/value emphasis. I like variety so the 357 fits in the variety mantra. Along with my PCP rifles and pistols, I have an HDR 50 beefed up and a 43 cal tuned up up Walther PPQ marker that’s LTL, very loud, powerful, plenty of accessories and fun. I know LTL is not socially acceptable, but they are powerful fun and they are Airguns. Simplified; I love to shoot, shoot a lot, have fun and not get bored. I like the new Brococks, they’re sweet, especially your Bantam. Not $1300 sweeter than a Recluse for me because I already own 4 PCP tacticals. Please know, If I was rational I wouldn’t be buying either/any gun. I have too many AGs now.
