.308 Win Benelli Lupo Alpha

Special edition of the Lupo available in only 1,000 units. Only 30 in New Zealand!!

Ultralight

Weighing only 2.6 kg, the Lupo Alpha is best-in-class among ultra-lightweight rifles with a metal chassis, boasting a weight reduction of approximately -500 grams.

Its incredible lightness is due to its unique lightweight design and the use of high-strength special technopolymers, which reduce weight while ensuring maximum stability and durability.

Biometics

The stock and fore-end of the Lupo Alpha are inspired by biomimetics. This discipline studies the solutions that nature has developed over millions of years of evolution to solve functional challenges.

In our case, the challenge was clear: how to achieve an ultra-light structure without compromising strength? Benelli engineers found the answer by observing bird wings, whose hollow bones provide the perfect balance between lightness and efficiency.

Accurate

The Lupo Alpha is Benelli's latest innovation: an ultra-lightweight bolt action rifle with consistent sub-M.O.A. precision over 3 shots using high-quality commercial ammunition.

The perfect coupling between lightweight aluminium alloy chassis and rigid steel barrel-action ensures ballistic excellence at every shot.

Cryogenic technology increases barrel life, improves heat resistance, reduces impact of overheating and regulates the vibratory rate of the metal, for constant performance.

Adjustable from 650g to 1650g (6.4 N to 16.2N) it is sharp and clean: the reduced trigger load maximises shooting accuracy.

Lightness

The incredible lightness of the firearm is due to its particular design, thanks to which both the metal components (receiver, upper receiver and barrel) and the polymer components (stock and forend) have been lightened.

The use of special high-strength technopolymers makes it possible to reduce the weight of the componenets, without sacrificing stability and stength.

The barrel is tapered and with a lightened external profile: where the barrel meets the upper receiver it has a diameter of 26mm reducing to 15.5mm at the muzzle.

Lupo Alpha was designed with an integrated system of solutions that ensure exceptional accuracy:

• Solid and stable chassis structure
• Free-floating Crio barrel, subjected to cryogenic treatment
• Adjustable lighter trigger pull, from 650 g to 1650 g (6.4 N to 16.2 N)
