I was fortunate enough to hunt Africa last Summer with this rifle to give it a test drive and, the more that I used it, the more I was impressed by it. It's a little modern-looking for my taste but it is great rifle. https://www.benelliusa.com/rifles/lupo-bolt-action-rifles

Dan Gable I keep my circle small, I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies. Ain’t easy havin pals.

If I want to hunt with an ugly bolt action rifle (and sometimes I do) I can just grab the T/C Compass or Ruger American, that will do everything the ZLupo can do at a fraction of the price.

I have often wondered if anyone other than the most die hard Benelli fans ever looked at an R1 and said”That’s the rifle for me!”
