I bought one of these for my birthday as my first scoped/hunting rifle. The gun is gorgeous, easy to take apart, clean and reassemble and deadly accurate. Testing different ammo weights and manufacturers, I was able to get a sub-MOA group at 100 yards on my first day, just after a few rounds to get it roughly zeroed. Chambered in 30-06 and topped with a Vortex Diamondback 4-16x42, the rifle looks good, feels good, and gets the job done. Highly recommend this rifle. I should also mention, I believe the trigger pull is adjustable between 2 to 4 pounds AND it comes from the factory with a threaded muzzle.

I love a rifle with a beautifully finished wood stock and a high polished blued barrel as much as anyone else but it's hard to beat a rifle with a polymer stock and phosphate/nitride coated or just a stainless steel barrel especially if you're carrying it in the deer woods. Pretty much every rifle I own with wood stocks have been retired or just shot at my house because I'm all about functional toughness in my guns these days. Not that wood stocks and blued barrels aren't tough but they're heavy and get banged up a lot easier not to mention a lot of the time they're more expensive. I never knew Benelli made rifles before I like it!!!

[@BigBex]

they released the wood stock version and it is GORGEOUS

[@zakariaott]

Benelli always comes out with great firearms! In fact I love Benelli so much it's solely all I own. Minus my handguns. Just an FYI the LUPO comes in 6 different calibers 6.5 creedmoor, .308 Winchester , .300 win mag, .243 Winchester, .270 , and 30-06. I wish they offered the traditional wood stock on the LUPO like they do on almost every other model. I just want to add... If you're looking for the ultimate sporting clay over-under take a look at the 828 U sport. You can truly customize every aspect of it. It's incredible!

[@Diemerstein]

Yeah, got this gun back in November, used a bore sight to kind dial it in, fired another 10 rounds to really dial it in. It's a really nice 1000 meter gun for sure, I don't hunt, but love long range target shooting and the 6.5 is one of the best for doing this.

[@iowa_lot_to_travel9471]

Looking forward to the review

[@twjonckheere]

Checking back in. I don't think I can list costs here, so I won't.. But their website will list those. I thought it was reasonable. They had both barrels back within two weeks. I strapped suppressors on the new threads and both rifles we're still very accurate and there were no suppressors strikes. So they did it right. I will definitely use them again!

Even though they're an old company (founded 1911) they didn't start making guns until 1967 (I think). Before that they made some very nice and fast motorcycles. The gun division is now owned by Beretta and the motorcycles are owned and manufactured by a Chinese company.

[@LuminousPath13]

Very sci-fi looking design, almost reminds me of a Beretta Cx4. Both are gorgeous guns.

I've watched every video on this rifle, but I was really glad to see you reviewed it. For me, I think both types of rifles, wood, polymer, look great. The blacked out look of the Lupo just looks sleek as all hell, to me anyway.

[@johnconklin5180]

Just bought one yesterday. Have to put scope on it then zero which I very much look forward to. Mine is the 270 which I intend to try shooting the Hornady precision 145 round through. A great consistent round in my experience. You talked about the composite stock but one of the benefits of that is being outdoors in less than perfect weather for a while. It’s a big deal to me if I scratch a beautiful piece of wood but with the black synthetic it’s not such a gig deal. Anyway looking to do some shooting with it for sure.

I think it's wonderful how many ways there are to enjoy shooting as a hobby. Some see hunting as the end all, others compete, train for self defense, plink for fun or enjoy the historical aspects of old and replica weapons. Myself I find satisfaction in shooting from a bench rest trying to get as close to the weapons precision as I can. I've never been interested in competing it's always been just for my personal satisfaction. When I was a kid I got lured into kind of a competition without my knowledge. The first I knew of it was when another kid started hanging around watching me. I didn't really care until a friend explained that he was there because apparently he was my closest competitor for top spot in some competition, and I didn't even know they recorded our scores... I have no idea how that went as I didn't bother to complete the competition. Today it's just a fun story.

At 7.1 lbs with 24” barrel plus whichever scope I settle on I have some concern over weight and possibly length. Either way I pulled the trigger and looking forward to great hunting/target.
