Benelli’s Lupo is a bolt-action rifle that offers 36 different sizing configurations, out of the box, to tailor the gun to the shape and preferences of the shooter.

Best review I’ve seen of this. Handled one of these yesterday. I expected the stock to feel cheap. Not at all. Benelli hit a home run.

[@edysinsimon8646]

Benelli really paid attention to the shooting details with this rifle. Love the action breakdown details and the buttstock's fine tuning is very good attention to details. Make mine a .270 win please!

[@motorosso3349]

Bought the wood version as it just looks so good.

[@imbluz]

Totally ergonomic. This thing redefines shooting. Sub MOA!

[@01kilik10]

It is also chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor. Mine has a 22" barrel and came in at $1400.

[@MrPatrickjsmithsr]

Very informative detailed review thank you sir

[@AndrewNguyenOfficial]

Great looking rifle and performance, definitely want one. However, I'm interested in seeing how durable is it in the elements in real world hunting environments. Sako for instance has a video where they put there rifle through abuse, I'd like to see the same here for the Lupo.

[@Notreallyme377]

Don’t like the molded on sling studs. Can’t believe they went with that it’s price point.

[@Kelly-sd2se]

Very nice review, how would you compare this to the Sako s20 hunter ?

[@stevest.martin3940]

1700 is a bit much but if the price comes down I’ll take it in 300 Win Mag

Can you compare the recoil to other calibers?

[@j.wildoutdoors8483]

Does the bolt lock? Honest question.

[@marvinwalter2438]

Please make me one in 460S&W for the straight wall hunting states for deer and hogs.

Just order mine today in 308 !! Can’t wait put some meat on the ground

Anyone have issues with the angle of the trigger guard? The writer from Field and Stream had issues when shooting level, as the trigger guard nudges your finger high on the trigger. When he shot on an up angle his accuracy was outstanding, but much less so on shorter ranges on a bench. Looking for more opinions on this issue.

Was this 30 06 you were firing or 300 win mag?

[@rogaldorn605]

The lupo is 6.5 Creedmoor

[@giovanigonzalez7623]

@@rogaldorn605 it comes in many cartridges.

[@9235wayne]

the 2 pc Picatinny rail that comes on the gun doesnt have centre to centre spacing of 10mm as per Picatinny MIL Std 1913. the Recoil Groove spacing is correct at 5mm but the centre to centres are way off. I'm not sure why this is. Anyone answer this? Because i want to install a 1 piece mount for the scope but with the non standardized rail I can't. Also does the 1 piece Lupo Picatinny rail have this issue? HELP!

[@jmkhenka]

Is it not weaver? they have diffrent spacing..

[@9235wayne]

@@jmkhenka no it isn’t.

[@Stubones999]

Too bad you can't get a second / spare mag... $57 BUT OUT OF STOCK

[@Dlust88]

So every time you want to take off the stock you have to take off the scope…

[@emilragnarsson6453]

Watch the video again……..

[@michaellai2062]

If you don't show the target it's such a waste of time

[@buchenkirrung]

Had one to test - cheap plastic and and too loud safety switch. Also barrel base looks more like a screw than a barrel.

[@the.tricky.outdoorsman]

That bipod set up is wonky. Definitely a design flaw of this rifle. Especially for a rifle that costs 1400 or better.

[@neutronalchemist3241]

The bipod set up is an hole in the stock. If it's wonky or not, it depends on the bipod.
