Benjamin Rogue .357 - Ballistics & Accuracy

Team Wild's Air Power: International big game airgun hunter Ian Harford gets out onto the range to assess the accuracy and ballistic performance of the Benjamin Rogue .357 big bore air rifle ready for his big game hunting adventure to the USA, where he'll be taking feral hogs, deer and hopefully a few other exotic game animals along the way.

Awesome bit of kit. Keen to see it in the field again!

[@gefingyi]

loving all the new opening titles

[@airgunwarriors7491]

Looking very forward to the Bulldog version of this video!:) Happy/Safe Hunting!

[@paulrelf88]

Wow power AND accuracy. What a great rifle.

[@rdvideoclips]

Well done following your shooting hobby in the UK. Public opinion, directed by the nanny Government must make it almost impossible. Having left the UK many years ago I can imagine the grief and scorn you get from people over there. Don't give up.

[@iyoykinoy4632]

thank's, this data very helpful to compare whit my air gun. awesome accuracy.

[@TeamWildTV]

+Iyoy Kinoy No problem :)

[@russellturnbull5384]

Great vid as always!!!

[@Hemnmahmmod]

Very great & accurate rifle, nice vid.

[@johnsanchez8931]

An amazing piece of kit. Great velocity & staggering energy! Only 3 shots? Are you listing Louse & Clark? Your rifle had how many shots per charge? Nice piece for sure!

[@TheOtherPiotr]

Very nice! Saw one at the game fair back in September - shame they couldn't let us use it! Am more tempted by a Wolverine .303 personally but still good job!

[@cabelas1987]

Good point, there will always be situations which suit certain types of gun better than others. I've often used air rifles in more built up areas. However these rifles are very limited in terms of ballistic options and number of shots etc. plus they're very expensive , so most people would be better off with a conventional rifle, in most circumstances.

[@TeamWildTV]

Ha ha! My thoughts exactly! Will be bringing you that video very soon! :-)

[@Thunkful2]

Check the crosman site again. The Rogue was for sale on line there ~ April 28; I haven't checked again since then.

[@Thunkful2]

Thanks so very much for this good data & demo. U don't owe us a thing, but I hope that someone else who has a chrony can show us what a 190 grain Hunter's Supply pellet will deliver in velocity & foot pounds. I am wondering if the lower velocity of the heavier pellet will still have more foot pounds.

[@MrThundermouth]

Tx for a fantastic review

[@TeamWildTV]

wadawaddah No problem, glad you enjoyed it :)

[@bigearl8687]

+Team Wild TV is this gun still available..if so were at..I haven't seen it at all..only on videos...have you tried any other ammo? like the 81 grain jsb pellets.

[@MaximRecoil]

A 145-grain, .357" diameter bullet at ~800 feet per second is on par with a standard .38 Special (which also uses a .357" diameter bullet, and is available with 145-grain bullets, though the traditional bullet weight is 158 grains) fired from a revolver with a 2" barrel (i.e., a "snub-nose .38").

[@ZeroWolfAlfa]

how do de special rifled barrel cope whit home made bullets made in a bullet tool. and Crossman says only soft lead (but the question form on there web page does not work), how is it whit soft metals, like tin, in general?

[@brokenpockets82]

Just got my rogue new to the air gunning world.. Got me some 67 grain round balls what would you hunt with that and far if a shot would you take with that ammo??

[@jadabecky]

is that a Centerpoint scope on that rifle

[@Thunkful2]

The only place I cud find a Rogue was on the Crosman site. At least 2 days ago (~April 28, 2013, they were available there.) I cud not find a retailer that had it on the internet. Price was something like $1300.

[@galebonewilliam3510]

How can get this pics of Air pallet gun in South Africa pls

[@eugenehojiahau9600]

does the Daystate wolverine powerful??

[@galebonewilliam3510]

Most shop in South Africa they don't sell it were can I get it

[@MrTdw1954]

To the people that don't get it this gun is very quiet and it's not subject to all the laws of a regular firearm. Depending on where you live that is a huge plus.

[@Thunkful2]

pockets: I saw the claim that those round balls have the most accurate trajectory of any ammo in the Rogue. I would like to see a chrony with them & a calculation of the foot pounds. Can you load up 6 slots in the clip with 12 balls? Now I have had the 190 grain pellet in my hand, & it is indeed some hunk of lead.

[@loknlode]

Only a dollar per shot too. I would go PCP in a heart beat, but the equipment you need to recharge the thing is as, sometimes more expensive, than the gun itself. Can't argue it hits hard and accurate.

[@laurenprincehouse]

A World of Difference

[@gmikebrittain]

I'd like to see a comparison with the Daystate Wolverine.

[@galebonewilliam3510]

Can someone help me too get beautiful gun Air

[@shanevmax34]

You're supposed to be at least ten feet away from the chronometer. you may be getting a reading on the muzzle blast and not the projectile

[@MrThundermouth]

I am so envious. My hatsan sniper has a maximum of around 30 fp of muzzle energy. It can hit a target the size 1 x 1 meters at about 200 yards. Still it is no hunting rifle. I believe it could scare away warthogs at best. Mostly because of the sound.

[@lostworld762x39mm]

right now it is in stock at crosman.com for around $1300

[@Thunkful2]

If the Evanix Conquest were full auto, I wud prefer it, as u can shoot so many more shots. The Conquest is only about 1/2 the power of the Rogue, but if it were full auto, that might compensate. U could let loose a volley of 3 shoots at once. However, the importer apparently has dumbed down the Conquest to semi-auto.

[@Thunkful2]

I don't know why u coudn't find a Rogue at the Crosman site. I did. They were available 3 days or so ago there (around April 28, 2013).

[@M4GHOST45]

I love this rifle. It basically is firing a 146-gr 9mm bullet at 700fps. That's only about 200fps less than a 9mm load in a handgun used in IPSC competition. Impressive to say the least. However, and this is the deal breaker for me, for $1000, I'd much rather buy an AR-15. Good shooting though. Keep up the good work.

[@cabelas1987]

It is possible but to say they are silenced is an over statement. They are certainly much quieter than a normal shotgun. I have only used a silenced .410 shotgun which was very quiet. You can use subsonic shotgun ammo which further reduces the noise.

[@VideoMikeKnight]

I cannot find one either!?

[@cabelas1987]

I'm guessing you're American. In England we generally say bore not gauge but plenty of people also call them 12 gauges, myself included from time to time. Are you allowed moderated/silenced shotguns where you live? A company called hushpower make silenced shotguns included a Mossberg 500 pump action. They're a good option in more built up areas where you don't want to cause to much noise. Well done protecting your puppy, must have been quite a struggle with a pit bull!

[@cabelas1987]

You don'need a licence for knives, bowes, axes etc. although I'm sure there are a lot of lefties in this country who would like to change that. We're not allowed to hunt with bowes though, apart from fish I think. I like watching bow hunting videos from the states, would love to come across and give it ago because I've had a bow since I was about 5 years old but can't hunt with it.

[@thenightowldude]

You don't need to wear your camo gear in your back yard dude.

[@justinharder5662]

Maybe it's not his backyard

[@renderskurt2312]

nice

[@martvanamelsfoort]

Not to be an asshole, but I don't understand. I'd like one, where can I buy them because they seem to be out of stock everywhere. They're not there now, but will they be back?

[@Thunkful2]

1987 I don't know what the law is on silenced shotguns. Is it really possible to silence a shotgun? I'll need to look into that, as hard to believe as it is to me. That would be like trying to silence your rag bone man, wouldn't it? (I lived in Manchester for 2 years.) Once I got ahold of that neck chain (from the back of the dog) and twisted it, I just could not let go.

[@Thunkful2]

Go to the crosman site. U shud find them available there.

[@Harbisondude]

Couple of thoughts. One, have you laid on a translator who can handle the Texan to English duties? If not, I can. :D Second, (and seriously) a big hogs gristle plate can shrug off even #1 buckshot, so be careful of the "behind the shoulder" shot. (personal experience) I'd vote for ear to ear shots on the hogs.

[@cabelas1987]

I'm not trying to stop people or discourage them from using air rifles. I think they are interesting and impressive, but I wouldn't want one. You're clearly the expert at back yard pit bull hunting so if you say a machete would do the job I believe you ;) Think I'd choose to you a moderated 12 bore but I don't know if they're legal where you are?

[@chindas12]

And the 100 yards?

[@tomeng9520]

What is the range of the Rogue? Base on the settings of the EPiC panel, the Rogue is capable of taking prairie dog-sized game past 100 yards and coyotes up to 75 yards.

[@Thunkful2]

1987: I didn't know it was a pit bull when I saved my puppy & killed it. Fortunately for me, it had a heavy steel chain around its neck, which I grabbed & choked. & there was a stream nearby where I could drown the dog. When the cops came, they told me it was a pit! 12 bore? you mean a 12 gauge shot gun? I can't shoot that in the city under normal circumstances. My choice wud be a Saiga, or for backyard dog protection a double barreled coach gun. But I don't want to get involved w/ cops.

[@urban3921]

Both informative and surprising: It's powerful enough to legally hunt rabbit, mink and gulls with in Sweden but not anything larger. Disappointing because that means I probably won't get to shoot one myself.

[@Thunkful2]

1987, Do you need a license for a machete in England? Long bow? Robin Hood cudgel? I mean if RH could beat old Guy of Gisbourne with a long stick, couldn't he take out a pit bull the same way?

[@iceyembrace5197]

thanks for the tease, the benjamin Rouge .357 is discontinued. :(

[@ronaldmoffett3498]

That sucks! I purchased my .357 Rogue and tried to buy an extra clip 6 months later and it was discontinued! I was shocked. The rifle is a dream to shoot with great accuracy out to 60 yards. I bought a Bulldog 2 years ago. It's fun to shoot and easy to handle but not near as accurate as my Rogue. Still enjoy watching these utubes! Parker County Texas

[@bigearl8687]

Crossman/Benjamin should bring this gun back immediately, different calibers & designs, bottle and tube, regulated, 22,25,30,35,45cal, externally adjustable...BULLPUP DESIGN...its 2023 Crossman, so shot count on calibers 22-30 should be excellent 170 shots in 22 , 17fpe- 70fpe, 25cal 125 shots 30-95 fpe , 30cal 70-125fpe 65 shots , shot count and power depend on settings, 35cal 100fpe -200fpe 40 shots , 12 shots at 200fpe

[@monsterbro2464]

what is the best airgun in the world I don't really want to hunt big game but I do wanna hunt rats at night

[@TeamWildTV]

+monster bro The Air Arms S510 air rifle is great for rat shooting at night! Our expert Paul Hodson used it on a recent rodent removal outing. You can see the video here kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHfKZaulf5arepI

[@monsterbro2464]

I'm from America

[@jacobjones7149]

How much does this COST

[@fricholas7608]

dont ask dont tell

[@kirkmulder1599]

$1000

[@Thunkful2]

Well, if you went hunting w/ an air rifle, to me it would be becs u are an enthusiast for the air gun or like novelty. But for shooting in a city where you can't use a firearm, but you can shoot an air gun, what else will you do? Yes, u cud use a machete out in the yard to subdue a pit bull (but don't miss with your swing).

[@geezlepuss7863]

& I saw specs as 1000 fps on this.

[@cabelas1987]

Very impressive for an air rifle but I think I'll stick with my .22hornet. When compared to conventional full bore or even rimfire rifles, they begin to look very poor IMHO

[@rcsam100]

My Ruger blackhawk shoots at 1000fps

[@Alphabuck]

127ft/lbs KE is quite weak for a big game(especially big hog). Try shooting a real mature boar in the shoulder blade with that thing, your bullet is just going to explode and wound the animal.

[@Thunkful2]

But suppose you need to kill an animal in a city where it is illegal to fire a firearm? Where I live things cud get sticky w/ the cops if I fired a gun; but air rifles are legal. This is the only repeating air rifle I know of that I wud want to use vs a pit bull who had attacked my dog in my yard.

[@world7766]

gamo hunter extreme still gives 1550 fps with pba,,,

[@kirkmulder1599]

And that drops of very quickly. And a 4.5g pellet at that speed is only about 24fpe. While even at 600fps, a 145 grain pellet will still have over 115fpe.

[@TeamWildTV]

You've got issues fella. Why don't you go and take some medication and stop this pointless anti-Crosman vendetta. It's getting old and very boring.

[@galebonewilliam3510]

It's useless too display Air gun like those ones only in America not part of the world too have them

[@elcuh2808]

This gun is weak

[@alexdavies3891]

nice
