Benjamin Rogue .357 Scores First Hog

[@CrosmanCorp]

The goal was to show the ability of the rifle, not the skill of the hunters. In that regard, the video perfectly demonstrates what the Rogue is capable of.

[@lorddraylon]

I think more people need to get into this. Air rifles have come along way since the daisy bb guns. I would love to get people to start hunting with these

[@CorePathway]

Wow, that is a quiet report...and 800 FPS with a 145 grain bullet - awesome!

[@NeoAndersonn]

Well you know...it's not a Deer to you get it's attention with "Méééé" haha :D love the rilfe, will get one someday! Grettings from Brazil!

[@pinz2022]

Now velocities with reservoir airguns used to drop off gradually with the loss of pressure, with a resultant projectile drop. If I understand correctly. If I am getting the picture right, the latest generation of hi-tech computerized reservoir rifles are designed to release air precisely to maintain shot-to-shot velocity as the tank depletes.

[@CrosmanCorp]

@sqitso With the capability of shooting a 170gr bullet at 850fps, the Rogue is definitely not a toy. You don't need a background check to get it. It's quiet enough to fire in the backyard. The range is shorter than that of a centerfire so you won't endanger the neighbors.

[@ryandean360]

ooooh my thats a sexy gun, the slugs that things fires are terrifiying, say whats the digital pad with up and down buttons for? elevation for the scope?

[@firulaizperro]

very well, so if it hits hard the rogue did not move much pork, is that so far is on track hopefully follow the rifle well, greetings from Mexico.

[@cesarango01]

I hunt, but shooting something fenced in is not my idea of a hunt.

[@VincentNara]

Awesome product! Arguying with my brother about me shooting our canary in the birdcage is hunting too this vid seconds my view

[@CrosmanCorp]

@huntrtrapr We suggest there be an acre of property. And be sure to check local regulations.

[@marcellenel9952]

Lol, I started laughing when I heart the grunt, epic!! I wonder if the hog understood what you said.

[@CrosmanCorp]

@DeadmanXX08 With a headshot it is likely but we do not recommend it. Only if you can hit an American quarter at that distance ten times out of ten should you consider it.

[@GKParker13]

Was this the Tioga Boar Hunting Preserve by chance? Looks familiar...

[@CrosmanCorp]

It worked great on the big jackrabbits down in Texas. It's to heavy for a walk in the woods but if you one shows up on a still hunt it will work just fine.

[@CrosmanCorp]

@justliketolook The Rogue requires soft lead in .357 caliber, the grain is up to you. Deer? Headshots only.

[@CrosmanCorp]

The Rogue kills wild ones too.

[@RussianCosmonauts]

Oh, cool. Good to know. Hello from Pine City, NY then.

[@CrosmanCorp]

@SFISHER1 So fishing in a 2-acre pond versus the Atlantic Ocean is not fishing?

[@CrosmanCorp]

It is now available exclusively on crosmanDOTcom.

[@CrosmanCorp]

@SFISHER1 Agreed this is not a fair chase hunt, that's why there's a big honkin' "CONTROLLED HUNT" at the opening. In a 2-acre pond you may not see the fish, but they can't go far. It's still hunting/fishing because there is some level of skill involved, even if "you have no idea where they are" you have a pretty good idea if you're catching 1%.

[@CrosmanCorp]

We figured the grunt may work better than a squeal! Thanks for watching.

[@alehax27]

This high fenced environment looks the size of my back yard. I guess it's better than nothing. Also, I think I know those pigs knew what that "mehh" sound led to. That's why they wouldn't stop.

[@CrosmanCorp]

@seriouslyhuman It's hunting. It doesn't fall under fair chase rules but it's still hunting.

[@CrosmanCorp]

@northfly Some folks like the idea of an airgun because of its lower range (great for close quarters like urban hunting), low noise (Rogue & Marauder rifles are fully shrouded) and the ammunition is relatively inexpensive. A .22 would not have been effective on this hog.

[@Shaw52587]

It's pretty disappointing that Crosman condones, even promotes, high-fence hunting. I would have been more impressed if they were able to let the pigs get away a bit more and then hit one. In fact, the only reason that I can think of for not allowing that is simply that the rifle isn't powerful enough to do the job at greater distances. Would have been nice to see that issue laid to rest. Now I'm not sure if the rifle is too weak at longer distances or if the marketing dept. just goofed up...

[@seaox81]

Very nice! Thanks for the video. The two shots seemed very quiet compared to some of the previous videos -- is this a matter of microphone placement? or recent improvements?

[@CrosmanCorp]

The Rogue is not the gun for a walk in the woods - it's for still hunting. It's a different challenge for hunters and it's quiet report makes multiple targets possible.

[@justliketolook]

What Does it Take to Kill a Deer? will this .357 kill a deer 50 yards or less.What is the largest grain lead that will fit in auto loader. Can you load larger grain if loaded with out clip. can this gun be used as a single shot.

[@honda8354]

Thats the first time that i've seen a (wild) hog with a pricetag on it.I did find the Buck grunt a little awkward,but thats just me.Keep on,Keepin' on!

[@shootermedic]

To the debate on "Why an air gun?", you might keep in mind there are lots of places in the US with varmints where you cannot use a firearm in city limits. This addresses that issue very, very well. I have a large piece of land inside city limits with coyote, raccoons and gophers. They are a real problem. Using even a .22 is out of the question and will earn me at the very least a hefty fine. Killing varmint with this rifle works very nicely and I definitely got my $1200 worth!

[@CrosmanCorp]

Right here in Bloomfield, New York, USA

[@seriouslyhuman]

@CrosmanCorp That is a better way to state it. I said it's shooting, but you pointing out it doesn't fall under fair chase makes me have to recant the "shooting" statement. My statement would have been accurate if the hog had been tied out or restricted from movement.Your point was well made.

[@CrosmanCorp]

@seaox81 This video should be considered the most accurate replication of the report. Other videos had poor mic placement or the gun was being shot next to a bunch of AR rifles.

[@TurfSurf]

I think the only advantage for this design is the quietness compare to the real 357 guns, the stealthiness is better with this gun.

[@huskersboy22]

Would you recommend this gun for rabbits

[@huntrtrapr]

is the rifle louder than a .22lr if not can u please compare it please reply

[@NYGMENfan1]

They have to test the lethality at some point genius.

[@ozell46]

Nice shooting Guys,

[@Rami88Ice]

@CrosmanCorp i love air guns cause here in lebanon its diff, i have a 12 gauge ATA automatic but i prefered the benjamin trail np XL 1500 .177 cz its silent&fast i can shoot frm my window @ anythn i want i even use it in the city with my automatic its harder to shoot games, while with the np i cn shoot hawks on trees birds cats dogs cayotes,basicly anything that can walk or fly.. i rly wanted a .22 1100fps but we wont have is it possible to make an order to here in lebanon? thanks

[@CrosmanCorp]

Your Nagant requires an FFL to purchase, is a heckuva lot louder and is dangerous from a long way off. Apples and oranges.

[@CrosmanCorp]

@jeanfrancis1000 The Rogue is our first product with the new tech so stay tuned!

[@SgtMustang375]

@CrosmanCorp if u did make a 30cal pellet gun would it be around 600 cause any more and u can just get a remington 700

[@astrofishy35]

i personally think its sort of wierd having buttons and a screen on the side of your rifle.

[@CrosmanCorp]

Yes.

[@zefdin101]

BENJAMIN ROGUE ~THE EPIC SAGA: Released approx year half ago & available to the public for very short time. Currently MIA for past 6-8months? Now listed as discontinued on most web sites (Air Gun Warehouse, Air Gun Depot, Midway etc, etc..)? Emailed Crosman and was told "Rogue in production", "No issues here, only part shortages"? Per Crosman rep Chip Hunnicutt, Rogue parts due at factory 4/3, production run 4/4 & new Rogue's on shelf at Crosman.com 4/8-4/12....would be nice to see... Txs Chip

[@BrianGower007]

I'd like to order one. Any chance of back-ordering one?

[@MissPickletoes]

What does it weigh? (the airgun, not the pig...lol)

[@Lukerr239]

Im not going to start blabbing about you being cruel people, killing these hogs for no reason.. because you cant help it. Your American. You have guns for brains. Peace!

[@AssaultWeapons]

can shoot 357 pistol , lead bullets?

[@TheeRint]

Nope, its a good demonstration of the abilities of the gun though.

[@CrosmanCorp]

@KracknCorn You saw the words "controlled hunt", right?

[@CrosmanCorp]

You can backorder one today at crosmanDOTcom.

[@TheCadillac99]

For $1500 I better be able to hunt more then fenced pets.

[@huskersboy22]

isnt it illegal to use suppressers

[@BlackrockLobbyist]

@astrofishy35 you can control the psi on the gun, kinda cool acually

[@Duggan442]

Great sport, fenced, released hogs. you can see the tags in their ears 0:38

[@huntandfishcanada]

I believe they make up to a 175 grain projectile and yes it can be single shot without the mag. I wouldn't even try taking deer with it just based on how's difficult it would be to get a deer in that close and standing still. I'm sure it could be done but I don't recommend it!

[@pcanting1]

At what distance you shoot that Hog?

[@redforbes]

Why not just use a 22? Its never failed to work for me.

[@hudsonaraujo9520]

ship to brazil??

[@RussianCosmonauts]

Where is this specific gun made? (What Country?)

[@C1EMM1E312]

The shot sounded pretty loud to be an air gun... I thought the shots would remain relatively quiet.

[@josephmccoy1462]

this is not hunting

[@CrosmanCorp]

It's been laid to rest for a while. Rogue air rifles have taken coyotes, hogs and whitetail well beyond what you see here.

[@CrosmanCorp]

@huntrtrapr It doesn't have the subsonic CRACK of a .22

[@CrosmanCorp]

@preacherbiggin It stopped didn't it?

[@CrosmanCorp]

Compared to what?

[@CrosmanCorp]

@Rami88Ice Unfortunately we are unable to ship from crosman.com to Lebanon and currently do not have a dealer there.

[@12dickpepperfield18]

i want this rifle but i cant find it anywhere. can anyone help me find one?

[@blitzkrieg1117]

haha the classic benjamin roque quote everyone seems to say after bagging in a big kill,.."WITH A AIRGUN"

[@CrosmanCorp]

Around 43 yards

[@airguns4life2011]

IT'S NOT CALLED MATT!

[@NavigatedChaos]

@CrosmanCorp Doesn't matter that it stopped. This wasn't a wild hunt. Makes me wonder if you've even went out and really hunted.

[@mariopikudo]

its a head shot?

[@Calvert1212]

they were just getting them to stop, they could have loudly quoted a quentin tarantino movie and that would have had the same desired effect.

[@CrosmanCorp]

@XxepicxX0 Check out the Benjamin Discovery. At $269 it's the best deal in a PCP going.

[@gld1010]

Ugh, my only complaint is the cost. I understand it is a quality weapon but still I just can not see the $1,000+ cost in any air rifle including the Evanix Giant. As for the Mosin Nagant lover, very few firearms firing the same caliber will beat the accuracy and definitely noise generation of air rifles.

[@jadoaesra3011]

0_o DANG! Air can kill now... greaaat. Now we have a function for politicians- just hook 'em up to these and we'll never run out of firepower!

[@preacherbiggin]

you can tell these SUITS never have been around hogs before! who ever heard of a hog making a deer grunt sound? Stay behind your desks in the office boys!

[@CrosmanCorp]

@PHANTOMSLAYER7 We respectfully disagree.

[@whispers6667]

damn, that was an intense hunt, got my heart rate up there, glad to see you lot made it out alive.

[@seriouslyhuman]

yeah I agree with SFISHER1. That's shooting not hunting. I don't take issue with testing how humanely it does or does not kill. Conservation departments have to do that as well before determining if a caliber is suitable for a select game size. Take no issue with skinning and cooking dead pig, but that's not hunting.

[@CheapChizzlinMooch]

If you hadn't zoomed so close in we wouldn't have seen the fence (Pen)

[@CrosmanCorp]

@devilfishship 400 acres

[@CrosmanCorp]

That would be a question for the reserve, sorry.

[@loveydovey4u]

how much for 1?

[@iel2006]

Oh yes, you are a real hunter now. R you?

[@marcellenel9952]

Lol, I started laughing when I heart the grunt, epic!!

[@ThatLunaticAi]

Compare it to a very cheap and well built rifle, I'll use the Mosin Nagant in this instance. A Mosin will cost you around $120 these days,and costs $.17 per shot. A 150 grain bullet will hit around 2800 FPS, carrying about 2600 ft/lbs of energy. This thing will top out at 1050 fps with around 200 ft/lbs energy. Pitiful. This is $1300 without the tank. Pellets are $.20+ a shot and that's not counting the air. That's not talking about reliability and accuracy. Air guns belong in the back yard.

[@CrosmanCorp]

@Psycho12345123 Oh we had it processed alright....

[@CrosmanCorp]

@scriptotres Sure did! Chops & sausage.

[@60pedrolivecom]

I don`t think the hog cares what it gets shot with.

[@richsuga]

maaaamp! I thought maybe that was Peter Griffin hunting! :D

[@KracknCorn]

Canned hunting can't really be called hunting... it's just selecting your own meat and taking it out.

[@preacherbiggin]

@CrosmanCorp and an air horn wouldve made it stop too, but thats not saying much. nice "safety glasses" too! lmbo! i know TONS ( sarcasm) of hunters that hunt with those on!

[@rotax7804]

Shooting fenced in pigs isn't anything to brag about, wild ones would be gone on your first call. Silencers on 22s kept under the sound barrier work better and cheaper.

[@Hesam0000]

I've been using airguns since age 5 over 44 years & even though they're apples & oranges still nothing justifies these retailers pricing an airgun $1000 to $3000 when a Weatherby Magnum 7mm costs less. There's just no reason for it but greed. In most states it's illegal to hunt with airguns & so called 'Controlled hunts" no real hunter hunts like that.

[@cascadehiker50]

Come-on make me one without the electronics on it.

[@CrosmanCorp]

@JonALewis Not much different.
