NRA Gun of the Week: Benelli Lupo

The traditional outline of Benelli’s Lupo is a center-fire, bolt-action, shoulder-fired rifle designed for hard use. American hunters have faithfully relied on Benelli USA for its outside-the-box thinking and robust products design to last generations. The Lupo rifle encompasses every quality that brand loyalists count on.
Benelli USA’s Lupo is fitted with ergonomic furniture that is adjustable to fit its operator and houses advancements in recoil-reducing technology to enhance the user experience. Black polymer is the basis for the stock’s material, both fore-end and butt, and the gun uses Benelli’s Progressive Comfort system. The company also provides a CombTech cheek pad to buffer the impulse from a recoiling barreled action.
A hardened-steel upper receiver is fitted to the aluminum chassis or lower receiver. The gun's large-bodied bolt uses three lugs for lockup. Attached is a hammer-forged steel barrel-American Rifleman’s test sample arrived chambered for .30-’06 Sprg. with a barrel length of 22”. At the muzzle is a section of threads cut 5/8-24 t.p.i., protected by an included muzzle cap. Benelli provides an addition treatment with its forged barrels that claims to increase consistency by cryogenics.
Our range experience with Benelli’s Lupo proved the rifle’s worthiness. The detachable box magazine is a welcome feature. The rifle’s contemporary design allows for a comfortable shooter interface enabled by thoughtful ergonomics employed throughout.

Definitely a quality rifle that blends innovation and style. You can't go wrong with Benelli.

[@tylernettles7823]

2 years later and I'll tell you that this is still a top-tier hunting rifle. Still holding well into sub-MOA groups in 300win, and packs light while delivering hammers at 2950ish fps.

[@Zorro408]

308 good too ?

[@TurfSurf]

I love how ergo the trigger angle design is!

[@bosse641]

Cool rifle.

[@edysinsimon8646]

DAMN! The Italians really make anything look beautiful! To wit: this Lupo model! Make mine in .270 win please?

[@dhp4073]

A pricey riffle but seems to hold its value.

[@FISHUNTREECOUNTRY]

Needs stainless barrel and kevlar re-enforced carbon fiber stock

[@mikesnow712]

What height scope rings would you need for a stiener 4x16.

[@bethcotton2079]

Does anyone know where I can get a 270 cartridge Muzzle Brake for my Benalli Lupo?? Thanks in advance

[@OutdoorSolutions]

Look at Patriot Valley. We had one made for our 300win Lupo. There are a couple of video's on our channel of it in action.

[@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!

[@Thunder-RanchTV]

$1,699.99

[@alessioseminara3254]

Totally worth it.

[@77trashman]

Does it come in left hand bolt???

[@imbluz]

It's ambidexterous.

[@irinelmenghita1710]

Bună ziua cât costă o armă cal 30x06?

[@dbeardsley0]

For the price you'd be better off with a Bergara or Tikka, both substantially better rifles with a better action

[@borkwoof696]

What exactly makes them better?

[@greekmaster1001]

I litterly just handled one.....and boy is the bolt action sweet

[@neutronalchemist3241]

@@borkwoof696 Considered that both Benelli and Tikka are owned by Beretta, it's hard to say.

[@imbluz]

I seriously doubt it.

[@lowhydrogen7018a1]

Push feed and a magazine that can be lost. Not a hinting rifle.

[@brianmiller1580]

Meh...I'll stick with rifles from Finland
