GUN TEST: Benelli Lupo bolt-action rifle

[@Jackal36426]

I have one in 308 and it’s a remarkable rifle. Mine has a chrome bolt and the bolt doesn’t lock closed when on safe. I’ve always thought these were the 2 areas that needed to be addressed in order to make this rifle perfect. Your example has a black bolt and a bolt lock, are these features new/updates or features not offered to the USA market?

I think some of the finish options are country-specific. I saw a US video and the rifle in question had a matt black finish, mine is shiny. Also my 308 tester had a 5/8x24 UNEF thread, UK models all seem to have 14x1mm. Regardless, great rifle, I've now fitted the mid-height comb to mine and started reloading for it. Check out the next video, which will be up tomorrow at 18.00.

What suppressor are you using?

Mine too bolt dont lock in safe position and dont have a button. Only issue i have is when bullet ejects it hits itself marking brass marks on my action. Dont know how to fix that.i took a video in supper slow mo to realize why i hadmarks on my gun after just setting it from new with less than a box of rounds in it.

I really like it!!

It's a Marmite thing, lot of comments from the US about how they hate the shape/position of the trigger guard! As I said it's not often I have such an impulse buy as the Lupo but, it really works for me.

hoping they make this in wood stock in 270w next year

The BE.S.T. Version has a wood finish option!

Looks to be a very ergonomic design on this Lupo, but I wonder ( not having seen one up close ) would that bolt handle/knob cause width issues for the standard soft rifle case?

[@GunMartTV]

Not had any problems.

I like it I got to check on one of them

[@GunMartTV]

I would, I think GMK have done an introductory offer to the gun shops o the Lupo, with a price of £1300, not sure if it's still current. But knowing the UK gun trade that RRP of £1650, will be chopped down a bit.
