Benelli at SHOT Show 2024 unveiled the brand-new LUPO HPR (High Precision Rifle), a long-range precision rifle that challenges the expectations associated with the firearm manufacturer.
Brett, proudly introduced the LUPO HPR, emphasizing the unconventional direction the company has taken with this latest addition to their lineup.
Featuring a 24-inch cryotreated barrel, the LUPO HPR promises enhanced accuracy by removing molecular imperfections and stress from the steel, ensuring a stable projectile trajectory even under extreme conditions.
Cryo treatment, a technique traditionally associated with high-end barrels, takes the LUPO HPR’s performance to the next level.
The rifle’s action is built on the tested Benelli M-Series, seated into a chassis-style receiver for a rock-solid lockup.
Additionally, this configuration aims to deliver the most accurate production-grade long-range rifle possible, a claim supported by Benelli’s confidence in guaranteeing the ability to achieve sub MOA five-shot groups.

Also, the LUPO HPR also features a three-lug 60° bolt throw for smooth operation, ensuring a satisfying bolt lift experience.
The rifle’s surface treatment, present on the barrel, bolt, and upper receiver, provides a 25-year warranty against rust and corrosion. Consequently, this eliminates the need for constant oiling.
Other notable features include an adjustable trigger, allowing users to fine-tune the pull weight between 2-4 pounds. Additionally, it has a removable grip with two different contours for personalized comfort. The rifle’s Progressive Comfort system dampens recoil considerably, offering a more enjoyable shooting experience.
Benelli has not overlooked customization options, providing an adjustable cheekpiece with eight different settings. It also features a removable bag rider, and various M-Lok and QD mount options for accessories.
The LUPO HPR will be available in six calibers. These include 6.5 Creedmoor and 308, with 300 Win Mag, 6.5 PRC, 338 Lapua Magnum, and 300 PRC to follow in the coming months.
With a price point of around $2,600, the LUPO HPR aims to offer a compelling package for precision rifle shooters. For more information, go visit Benelli’s official website at benelliusa.com.
