- From the same makers of the Benelli M4 shotgun, comes the Benelli Lupo bolt action rifle available in 243win 6.5 creemoor 270win 308win 30-06 and 300win mag. The rifle impressed me as it was very comfortable to shoot and easily able to put 3-shots sub-moa @ 100 yards! The rifle has a lot of features and I couldn't fault it as it performed well.

Check out our review of the Benelli Lupo HPR rifle with accuracy out to 1000 yards here: ua-cam.com/video/OFx6vUqGv5c/v-deo.html
I carry this in the Alaskan wilderness and it performs phenomenally. Fires true in extremely cold temps and the 300win mag cuts through the elements like a hot knife through butter. It's lightweight yet has excellent energy dispersion through the buttstock. I consider it the best back country rifle on the market.
Best Lupo review I’ve watched so far. I think this review pushed me off the fence. Local shop has one in 6.5CM so I may be headed that way. Thanks!
Been waiting for this one. Thanks for another good vid.
Thanks Ozzie, great review.
Good day mate! It look's very good, this is the first review I've seen on this rifle. I'll have to check and see if it's available here in the USA. Have a great day or night!
Thanks Ozzie for that I will be looking at 300wm benelli lupo it will be my first game deer rifle 👍🍻
Love to see a big brand continuing delivering the goods in this day and age. Shit hot
It just looks so good.
Great review as always. Looking so green.
Great review!
Good revue Ozzie, the Hornady projectiles are the only ones I load for competition, prefer them to match king. If I needed another rifle this one would be an option for hunting. Richard from Canada.
Another great, unbiased review from Ozzie. I am from North Louisiana in the United States and I love your reviews. Thanks so much for reviewing this rifle. I am considering a Benelli Lupo in 6.5 PRC and I think it would be awesome for Whitetails in Northwest Louisiana. I currently have a SAKO S20 Hunter in 6.5 PRC (which I also love); however I am thinking about adding the Benelli Lupo to my collection. Thanks again for your “real world” review.
I appreciate your comment and you watching all the way from Louisiana my friend 👍
Absolutely and great review! Please continue to keep them coming!@@ozziereviews
@@waderatcliff-ci6lg❤!!❤❤
Looks great and shoots that’s good enough for me mate cheers Yogi 🤙🤙
I have one chambered in 270 win and I absolutely love it!
How much just wondering am interested
@@kenjones5080 I can't remember what I paid for the rifle back before all the covid supply chain craziness. My local Sportsmans is listing the rifle for $1500 now. Not cheap, but I really love that rifle.
Looking beautiful and green on the range mate 👍🏼
Beautiful rifle
Really nice review man thanks
Good review 🇦🇺👍
Great review! Based on your assessment I went straight to the Benelli site. Sadly, it is only available for right-handed people and the 308 has a 1 in 11 twist. My preferred twist for heavy bullets (for Canadian moose) is 1 in 10. Cheers!
Thanks for the info. A big help to us looking for a new deer slayer.
This has just entered the top 3 in my Deer rifle list along with the Steyr Arms - CL II and Tikka T3X Hunter.
I would love to have anyone of those!
Which one is your favorite now that it’s been some time?
I have the beneli lupo in 30-06 and its a real tack driver deadly accurate and i have the t3x hunter but im only putting a scope on it in a few months will keep posted
interesting rifle, would have to be on the short list of hunting rifles. Thank you for the review.
G'day mate! I recently acquired a Lupo BEST rifle in .308 Win; identical to the model reviewed here, though mine has the open country camo pattern on the stock. I concur with everything said in this review. It's superb in every regard. My rifle's accuracy is consistently 3/4 MOA with factory ammo (Federal GM 168grain Match), and that's just shooting prone, off my backpack. I have yet to try out my handloads in this rifle, using 165 grain Sierra Gameking SBT bullets, but I'm anticipating similar accuracy. That is simply an excellent rifle and considering I will be hunting mule deer, or red deer etc with this rifle, 3/4 MOA is more than sufficient for my purposes, when I'm aiming at a 10" plus kill zone!
Nice shooting.
Another good honest review. Truth be told, if factory ammo was all that was on the menu, the only one of that lot you might give a miss is the third one, and maybe the fourth if you had to. That thing would be absolutely deadly with a bit of load development. Cheers.
great sound track to this video.
Fantastic review, thinking about spending a little extra cash and picking one of these up
The bolt is like a Remington 600. Recoil reducers are ok. Its the same thing when they tried them on shotguns years ago. The gun gets close to your face faster!! Good eye relief is necessary!!! 300 win is gonna give someone an eye opener!!!
That's definitely not true. I own a Benelli Lupo in .300 Win Mag and I never had a problem with eye relief. The recoil reducing system (they call it "Progressive Comfort System") doesn't move in that far. The movement is less than 1 inch, so you are completely fine with the usual eye relief of ~3 inches.
I shot ~300 rounds with this rifle so far and even after a long session of 50 rounds within 2 hours I still felt comfortable.
I also own a Lupo in 300 win mag ands it’s awesome to shoot, great rifle and I am very happy I got it !
@@waldgeist3234 do you have muzzle break or suppressor? How does the 24inch barrel compare to the 26inch barrel .300's out there
I am Hungry Like The Wolf for these videos!
Nice review. Bought my Lupo .308 this past May 17/‘22-the day before 🇨🇦’s French King’s long gun registry. Mine doesn’t have the bolt lock when the safety is on-just the trigger lock. I like the bolt lock & release button too, but maybe it’s not necessary. Hmm!
Mine is the same way ..didn't realize it intill I went hunting and my bolt kept going up half way ..when going threw brush ..it's still my favorite gun ..but not too put that on all lupas is terrible
Thanks Ozzie. I have a .308 gap in my safe which I need to fill. For hunting Sambar deer, what's your choice between the Lupo and the Baretta you did a short while ago?
Great review and shooting Ozzie! Which gun did you enjoy shooting the most? The Benelli Lupo or the Beretta BRX1?
Anyone have issues with the angle of the trigger guard? The writer from Field and Stream had issues when shooting level, as the trigger guard nudges your finger high on the trigger. When he shot on an up angle his accuracy was outstanding, but much less so on shorter ranges on a bench. Looking for more opinions on this issue.
I like that 60 degree bolt throw … doubt I can find one in the states … missed it if u said what the barrel twist was?
11T for the 308
Hey man love your video, could you maybe tell me how the barrel is joined to the action, is it crimped too it or is the barrel threaded and screwed into the action?
Another good review, thanks. One downer for me is the metric thread on the barrel.
Looks like the trigger placement would be very comfortable to operate, considering the designed angle to the 'grip area. If I were in the market for a .308 caliber bolt action, this LUPO
would be in the top three from which to choose.
Good looking rifle there.
Thanks Ozzie!
Just got the Lupo .308; my son got the Lupo in 6.5 Creedmoor; his friend got the Tika TX3 in 6.5 Creedmoor. That said, my 2d choice was the Sako S20 (but .308 all the way). I’m not discounting a rifle in .300 Win. Mag.; but hey, that’s stepping up the game-for sure!
Thanks Ozzie!
One thing I've noticed, often in the 3 shot groups, the "first" shot is a bit of a flyer, and the next two almost on top of each other. Is it maybe worth putting a fouling shout with the next ammo through first, before the 3 shot group?
Ive always shot 5's when load development being a row of ammo in a container and say that would give him an even 4 loads per box, each round is $1,50 to $2.00 maybe average in 308 these days so there is a slight cost difference Im sure people who havent yet signed up to be Ozzie's patreon would do so to see him shoot groups of 5. So how bout it guys, sign up to get groups of 5? Sign up and use the hash tag #groupsof5
@@johngallagher3732 I don't know if I'd call it a fouling shot but in groups of 5 you get more data and if that data says first shot is always .5"-2" in a given direction on cold bore then you can adjust according to data so I will always support more data til you have a consistent message.
@@johngallagher3732 No I didn't take it that way I was just re-iterating the point about taking data so nothing going on between us, and we are arguing the same point I think. :)
Every time I see magazines on bolt actions, im impressed how good the mags for the sauer 100/101 and mauser m18 is. Double stack, can load from the top and almost indestructable. Then comes benelli, ruger etc with fancy complicated magazines..
Is it so hard? I really hate the single stack mags that tikka and many other uses. And i HATE AICS mags, they are often crappy to reload and are boxy and low capacity for the size.
Not bad are these available at dealers yet?
It looks great but to get that look they've taken a fair bit of mass off the stock just behind the trigger, I can't see it being a very rugged rifle
Watched this several times over the year, and I'm sold.
.308 Winchester for primarily feral hogs.
Have a .270 Winchester for deer, and thinking about going with the same Leupold VX5HD 2x10 with the firedot reticle.
Really love that scope.
Mebbe sling, and a couple extra magazines.
Whaddya think?
Ahead of time design and a dream to shoot/hunt, while it can be found for half of price for sako s90. My only concern is that you cannot bed it properly, everything is holded by front action screw... Call me old school but we have done front and rear bedding for a reason supported in science. Great review mate!
I have one of these rifles in .308. Mine is consistently 0.75 MOA or better with Federal Premium GM 168grain Sierra Matchking ammo. Clearly no issue with the factory bedding that needs any intervention...
Great review and outstanding shooting. I looked very close at this rifle and nearly bought one but ended up passing on it. I did not like the molded in slinkier studs and the finish. In the USA, this rifle is about $1500. For that price, I would like traditional sling studs and a cerakote finish. Currently I prefer the Tikka t3x lite Veil Wideland over the Lupo. But given how the gun shoots, I maybe this is a good choice nonetheless.
Where abouts did you pick this one up from?
The pricey newer rifles are nice but a lithgow L1a2 in 308 is still king and cheaper
Alot heavier also.
Looks nice for farm hunting
What height rings are those?
what barrel length is it ? and what do u think about this gun or the tikka roughtech lite
*nice*
of topic but does anyone know what happens if you have a junior firearms license, and you turn 18, do you have to do test again?
Well in Melbourne I do not think you have to go again just rolls over but I can be rong
@@td42dirtygq awesome mate also on vic 👍👍 just passed my test bout a week ago
Which one do you think is better? Beretta brx or benelli lupo?
Does anyone else have problems with the brass hitting the receiver behind the bolt ..making gold marks on mine ..
U a good boy Ozzie! Please give my best frend Hank a pat and treats from me 🐶🥰❤️
Nice job,,been after one for a while,,just the price point,,,,
more shooting tests with it :)
How high are those scope rings?
can u raise the cheek rest?
My son has the camo Lupo (6.5 Creedmoor) with the raised Comb & w/ muzzle break. I have the Lupo .308 w/ flush comb. Believe you can interchange the cheek pad.
it would have been better if the black finish was matt instead of gloss
i literally have the exact same rifle and scope wtf
Benelli lupo or beretta bx1
Is it worth $2500 Ozzie ?
Yes much better rifle thsn blaser
Lupo vs Beretta BRX1? Hmm..
Now go get a billy 🇦🇺
Have you thought about reviewing everyday, affordable rifles? 2600$ is hard to justify unless this thing can shoot half moa.
Look back in his videos. He's done howa's for example.
@@Litt93 had to go a fair way back to find them. Just seems like every second video is a semi auto or a 2500$ 22lr.
Maybe should be called “posh Ozzie reviews”.😂
@@merkel2750 Semi? What are you on he hardly does semis.. Seems like your here just to have a whinge
@@Litt93 I went past 5 videos of semis before I even saw 2 howa videos. That’s what I’m on about. Go to bed mate, your clearly tired lol.
@@merkel2750 I've been subscribed for 10 years mate so I know he does a hell of a lot of budget vidoes. And he does guns like this benelli which are interesting and unique. He's done howa's, tikkas, Sig S100's, rugers plenty of budget guns plus some low mid range like CZ. If you're a gun nut It's nice to see vids on semis every now and again. You must literally be here to have a sook and a whinge cause your point is invalid and false.
Just saying. It might feel better on your shoulder but watch how the gun jumps more! Its gimmick. So , i have a big "Request". Sako, Tikka. My favorites. I am in the U.S. i have all options,but these i choose. Like KY smooth ,awesome triggers, accuracy is spot on or a little smaller than most!! Lol . Lets see what a less expensive Tikka will do up against a way more expensive Sako. I dont care what they look like.. I have both. Just wondering about the price differences and if Sako didnt shoot themselves in the foot!
You can buy two Tikka T3's for the price of a Sako 85 here in New Zealand. I love my T3, very accurate for a hunting rifle, can probably shoot better than me.
Che senso ha trasmettere in Italia una recensione parlata in inglese??
Not worth it $2500.
Not good enough for an almost 2000 dollar rifle 😊😊
Another review of a bolt-action rifle.........
Ugly rifle
