Now that DonnyFL is out of the picture, is anyone making a moderator/suppressor for the Benjamin Bulldog .457? I have been in communication with Pitbull. They deny any issues with high-humidity warpage and they will not accept return of a moderator once it has been installed. That lack of integrity makes me leery of doing business with them. A warped moderator can kill (the shooter).
We are not airgun enthusiasts. We have a horrible feral pig problem on our farm, which is close to a dense residential neighborhood. Unsuppressed, the .457 is just too loud for night use. That's when the pigs come calling. Also, when we are invaded by 30-pig sounders, we need to shoot quietly in order to keep from scattering the sounder back into the jungle.
We chose the Bulldog because we often must shoot while crawling through dense jungle. A traditional rifle configuration is just too clumsy in close quarters. For the same reason, we cannot use a scope. We have a laser zeroed at 30 yards. Most often, we must shoot from the hip. Point laser. Pull trigger. Dead pig. The Bulldog .457 has the power to drop a 300-pound boar with any reasonable hit; however, it is definitely NOT a repeater. The "shot tray" is a joke and Benjamin's own 350-grain pellets are too long for the breach. Benjamin denies this fact. Is there another suppressible big bore air gun that is not so clumsy and can realistically be used for repeat shots, in the awkwardness of tropical Hawaii jungle?
Oh yeah, also gotta have a repeater because a wounded 300-pound pig can kill me much quicker than I can awkwardly reload a gun.
Thanks folks! We may not be airgun enthusiasts but we're sure glad you are!
