We took the Benelli Lupo HPR to the longest range we could locate locally, where we could truly test the long-range capabilities of this high-precision rifle. With an 800-yard range, it’s the perfect place to stretch the legs of this incredible firearm. From its modern design to its efficiency in performance, the Lupo HPR delivers the accuracy and reliability that serious shooters demand.
The Lupo HPR is built for precision shooting, and everything about its design reflects that. Our rifle is chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor and features a straight-fluted 24-inch CRIO barrel, ensuring exceptional accuracy over long distances. Whether on the range or in the field, this rifle’s heavy barrel minimizes movement, giving you consistent shot placement.
At the end of the barrel, you’ll find a robust muzzle brake that excels at managing recoil. Despite its weight, this rifle barely moves after each shot, making it easier to stay on target and follow up quickly. The Progressive Comfort recoil pad further dampens felt recoil, making the shooting experience even more comfortable, especially during extended sessions.
This rifle also features three M-LOK inserts positioned at the 3, 6, and 9 o'clock locations, allowing accessory customization with quick detach swivel mounts. The 60-degree bolt throw ensures smooth and efficient cycling without interfering with your optics. This design enhances the overall usability of the rifle, particularly for those looking to shoot with precision optics.
The Benelli Lupo HPR also offers a high degree of customization to ensure optimal comfort and control. The stock’s adjustable cheekpiece can be easily adjusted with a button, offering eight positions to match the shooter’s preferences. Additionally, the rifle comes with two different palm swell inserts, giving users a choice between a straight pull for precision shooting or a more hunting-oriented grip.
One standout feature of this rifle is its custom-designed magazine, which makes loading a breeze. Unlike standard magazines, the Lupo’s magazine is precisely engineered to be easy to load, allowing quicker reloads on the range or in the field.
During testing, it became clear just how accurate the Lupo HPR is. The rifle consistently hit targets precisely with data dialed in using a rangefinder. Once you learn your dope and understand the mechanics of this rifle, it becomes almost effortless to land shots on target—even at extended distances.
The Benelli Lupo HPR is a high-precision rifle built to deliver consistent, accurate performance. Its efficient design, attention to detail, and ability to customize make it a top-tier choice for long-range shooters. ~ Gun Talk Staff
