Introducing the Largest Caliber Benjamin PCP Air Rifle Available

BLOOMFIELD, NEW YORK— Benjamin® airguns proudly introduces the new Bulldog .457—its largest bore, premium pre-charged pneumatic (PCP) air rifle. The Bulldog .457 kicks the proven Bulldog platform up a few notches to give big game hunters the stopping power they deserve: up to 450 foot-pounds of energy, more than double that of the Bulldog .357.

“The Bulldog .457 is the most powerful compact PCP set to hit the market. Not only will it take down big game, it’ll do it with smaller projectiles and with a max fill pressure of 3000psi. That adds up to a serious beast of an air rifle that handles as ingeniously and distinctively as any Benjamin,” says Senior Product Manager, Phillip Guadalupe.

The Benjamin Bulldog .457 integrates high-demand features: Read more

San Antonio, Texas – The Blaser R8 .22 LR Conversion Kit has won a prestigious Gray’s Best award in the shooting category.

Lauded for its speed, accuracy and versatility, the modular straight-pull R8 bolt-action rifle is in a league of its own. Hunters who own this expertly crafted, lightning-fast rifle can buy barrels in different calibers with the corresponding bolt heads and magazine inserts and have multiple rifles in one. With the introduction of the .22 LR Conversion Kit, hunters can now shoot endless practice rounds of .22 rimfire before switching to their preferred hunting caliber and experiencing the same trigger pull with each.

Terry Wieland of Gray’s Sporting Journal had this to say in the magazine’s 2022 Expeditions and Guides Annual:

“There is no higher-quality production rifle for sale today than Blaser’s straight-pull R8. One of its great selling points is that you can buy barrels in different calibers, with appropriate bolt heads and magazine boxes, and have several rifles in one. Now Blaser has gone one step further with a .22 Long Rifle barrel for the R8. Have an R8 in .500 Jeffery for whacking dinosaurs? Now you can turn that thumper into a squirrel rifle for off-season practice. That’s a combination that, to the best of my knowledge, has never been seen before. The R8 is available in an astonishing number of calibers – 47 by my count – and if you multiply those by the various grades of engraving and stock wood, as well as some truly innovative composite stock designs, you have a single rifle that could keep you fascinated for a lifetime.” Read more

GunPort Academy and Range, a CMP Affiliated Club, celebrated a much-anticipated day on Jan. 8, 2022, when it hosted a fine group of Boy Scouts, Troop 292, out of Mobile, Alabama.

The visit started with a brief history of the evolution of law and a review of The War for Independence – beginning at George Washington’s Valley Forge all the way through to the first permanent settlement in North America, Jamestown. The group also learned about the writing of the U.S. Constitution, the need for a Bill of Rights and reviewed the first 10 Amendments.

Just prior to leaving for the range, the Boy Scouts were instructed on safety, marksmanship and range etiquette. Once on the range, each participant shot four action types: bolt, lever, pump and semi-automatic rifles chambered in .22 caliber. The scouts were consistently ringing steel at 100 and 200 yards. No safety violations were witnessed, and the parents were well behaved.

Working with youth is always enjoyable for us. We are looking forward to doing this again at GunPort. Also, if you ever find yourself on the Gulf Coast, be sure to stop by. Read more
