Benjamin What would you do, why?

[Rick Housel]

Hey guys looking for some help on my Benjamin bulldog 357 just got back from the range and it is spot on with JSB 81 grain pellets slightly high when I shoot the 1:25 grain slugs but the 1:47 slugs are about 6 inches left any ideas what I can do to correct that and get it where it's more adjustable with the scope that's just too much to try and bring in

@Rick Housel Try creating a thread in the “Big Bores and Arrow Shooters” forum asking the same question. I’ll be on the lookout for your thread to try to assist you. We don’t want to hijack this thread considering that the original post has nothing to do with Bulldog issues.

Have you tried aiming 6 inches to the right?

Sorry couldn't resist.

Nice, fpe! How heavy is it?

I have one as well. Super long (especially the rifle) and very heavy. The trigger probably takes more pressure to fire than the gun weighs..lol. Lots of power though.

I have the new AEA Challenger Pro .357. It has an adjustable trigger and an adjustable regulator. I sighted it in at 25 yards with 2 shots. That's the most I could get in my backyard. I will be going to a friends property to set it at 75 yards. The JSB .35 Diabolo 81.02 grain pellets shot well. I also shot ZAN .357 90 grain and they shot just as well. At 25 yards it's shooting hole in hole. Can't wait to sight in at 75. I need to get a Chrono too to get some speeds. I am new to air guns and am learning.

I have heard the horror stories too, but bought an Hp Max 457 regardless. It required a little tweaking to get the magazine to feed properly. I tighten the barrel right up against it to take the extra play out. Now it's feeding good. I haven't had any pressure issues. I look at the gage daily. The stock has some play in it. Which annoys me. Other than that it has been an accurate powerhouse. From what I have seen the earlier models and the semiautomatic are too be avoided. The guys that have the Challenger Pro, love them.

I love my AEA 357 big bore; it's a 340 fpe rifle in stock form, and I've only had to replace one o-ring in three years.

I have never weighed it but it's a tank. I shoot from a tripod so it's not an issue. Thats the downside, the upside- unmatched power in the $1000.00 and under. Built well and very simple to work on. Great hunting pcp for $ 609.00 it goes unmatched.

May I ask, why you picked the .357 over a .457?
Nice looking setup.
Thx
