The Benelli Lupo is Setting New Standards

When a powerhouse gunmaker shifts gears, the industry takes notice, and so it goes when shotgun specialist Benelli moves into the rifle market with their first-ever bolt action. Debuted to a packed house at the 2020 SHOT Show in Las Vegas, Nevada, the Benelli Lupo targets hunters.

Though the Lupo, Italian for wolf, is Benelli’s first crack at the bolt-action hunting rifle market, from the looks of things, this animal has been a long time in the making. It intends, as the company advertises, to “dominate the land the way Benelli’s Super Black Eagle dominates the skies,” per company advertising.
