Benelli LUPO 30-06 Springfield Rifle | 22″ Barrel

Description

You’re glassing a ridgeline at dawn, the chill biting through your jacket. That bull elk is at 280 yards, quartering away. When the shot presents itself, you need a rifle that doesn’t just go bang—it needs to be an extension of your intent, a tool that turns opportunity into a clean, ethical harvest. That’s the moment the Benelli LUPO 30-06 Springfield, 22″ Barrel, Progressive Comfort Black Stock, Blued, 5rd is built for. It’s a purpose-driven hunting rifle engineered from the ground up for precision, shooter comfort, and reliable performance in demanding field conditions.

Here’s the thing—most bolt-actions are iterations of a century-old design. The Benelli LUPO is a rethinking. Its core is the Progressive Comfort system integrated directly into the stock, which uses elastomer inserts to mitigate felt recoil where it meets your shoulder. For a potent cartridge like the .30-06 Springfield, this isn’t a luxury; it’s what lets you stay on target for a follow-up shot or enjoy a full day at the range developing your handloads. The 22-inch cold hammer-forged barrel provides an ideal balance of velocity and maneuverability in timber or a blind, and its blued finish offers a classic, durable look that stands up to the elements.

Benelli didn’t stop at recoil reduction. The LUPO’s action is famously smooth, with a 60-degree bolt lift for fast cycling and low scope clearance. The trigger is user-adjustable for weight, travel, and overtravel—no gunsmithing required to dial in your preferred pull. The stock itself is ergonomically shaped with a raised comb for a consistent weld and textured grip zones. It all adds up to a rifle that fits out of the box and inspires confidence when that one shot is all you get. With a magazine capacity of 5 rounds, you’re equipped for most any hunting scenario North America can offer.
