Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Who has the Benelli LUPO?

With look like that...it better shoot perfect.

But you have shot it and handled it ? Right . I don't have to see an abortion in person to judge it , pics will do just fine. Comparable to what ? You must be a democrat since you don't like any opinions other then your own. It's your money throw it away as you see fit.

I haven't owned a ton. But I own 2 and I'm not sure I'd sell them for double what I paid. I'm not easy on the hunting equipment and haven't had a failure on either of the shotguns after many, many rounds though them. They're simple to take apart if there was a failure anyway.

No I haven't. I'm looking for feedback. Obviously you can't read. Definitely not a democrat. Your assumptions just prove how much of an asshat you are. Nobody cares that you think it's ugly.

Hard to innovate much with a bolt action rifle without getting gimmicky. A bolt action rifle needs to be slender through the belly. That one does not appear to be so.

I have put thousands of rounds through a Benelli shotgun killing coyotes and wolves out of a helicopter. They are rock solid and very reliable. Your opinion is unfounded.

I am with atse. I shoot shotguns a lot and benelli has been at the top for reliability and low maintenance among them all. In fact their design is copied and imitated constantly. Have no opinion on the new weapon but they are a top tier shotgun and can’t find any flaws in their design after cases and cases of shells. I agree the chevrons are a marketing gimmick but haven’t seen a downside of them yet. Every gun company markets gimmicks in some form. In Argentina the high volume shotgun outfits either rent you benelli or beretta. That’s no coincident

Having the spring assembly in the butt stock limits reliability in what way? Pull the stock and wipe down at the end of the year. This is the best feature of the Benelli. The Franchi's and Stoegars with the spring on the mag tube are not well balanced. The Benelli has a much more lively feel. Haven't had a chance to try a Franchi. Just tie a 2 pound weight on the muzzle of your Benelli and you'll get the idea!

BTW the United States Marine Corp uses the Benelli shotgun in combat. Reliable? Ask the Taliban.

Benelli shotguns are excellent, no doubt. But a company can be great at one thing and not at another. Earlier the OP said all he cares about in a rifle is accuracy and recoil mitigation. You can get that for a lot less than $1200. So clearly this is also about aesthetics... in which case you can't really get upset when people think they're ugly...

It's definitely not the best looking rifle. Is it loaded with features that most people would want in a rifle?

Yes.

This guy explains it short and to the point:

Nobody should shoot a rilfe as ugly as that, in the words of an old friend a and Montana gunsmith!

All that “innovation” is great and all. But what does it actually do better than half a dozen rifles that cost half of a third as much?

My M1 Super 90's have been most reliable and they are pretty old now. The spring assembly is in the buttstock and I don't think they have changed that.

Just like a Glock .......LOL

That would be around $230. You won't find anything better than a paper weight at that price

Everyone is acting like this is a $5,000 rifle.

It's a >$1,500 rifle that is extremely adaptable to the shooter out of the box

Ita obvious you are enamored with them and that no one has direct experience, likely becuase they are new to the market and most find them hideous, myself included. I'm as big of a Benelli fan as anyone, have 3 in my safe with another inertia 20, but personally I think they should stick to shotguns as it is what they know and do best. When waterfowl is the game, a Benelli is in my hands 9.5/10 times. If nothing else Benelli can market things to the masses. They sell/sold a pile of the Vinci guns and those things look horrible too.

You should buy it and report back. Maybe we can all be shown to water.

Edit, make that 4 as I forgot about the Nova pump.

So, do you know anyone who speaks in terms of “half of a third” or do you think it might be more reasonable to think that the correct word was “or”? Or did you even consider that before you rushed in to demonstrate that a $230 rifle would not be a quality rifle? Lolololololol


And, in point of fact, I’ve got a couple of $230 rifles I would take out of the safe before that turd.

That's just dumb

The reason I didn't buy it yet is because of its looks. I've been looking around trying to find something comparable in the same price range and nothing else has the features of the Lupo.

Anything I would personally consider over it is at least double the price.
