Benelli USABenelli Lupo B.E.S.T. 7mm PRC Bolt Action Rifle with Charred Timber Synthetic Stock
Overview
Conquer the vast Western frontiers and dense Eastern woodlands with the Benelli Lupo BE.S.T. 7mm PRC Bolt-Action Rifle, a cutting-edge precision powerhouse engineered for long-range big-game hunters who demand sub-MOA accuracy, superior recoil control, and unbreakable corrosion resistance in the most unforgiving environments. This premium bolt-action rifle features a 24-inch cryogenically treated free-floating Crio barrel with Benelli's revolutionary BE.S.T. (Benelli Surface Treatment) coating—a multi-layered diamond-like carbon nanotechnology armor that repels rust, saltwater spray, and abrasive mud, ensuring flawless performance from Rocky Mountain elk ridges to Alaskan coastal bear hunts, even after months of exposure that would sideline lesser rifles. Chambered in the game-changing 7mm PRC caliber with a 1:8" twist rate optimized for heavy-for-caliber bullets like 175-grain ELD-X or AccuBond LR, it launches projectiles at 2,950-3,000 fps with exceptional ballistic coefficients (BC up to 0.75), delivering flat trajectories, minimal wind drift (under 10 inches at 500 yards), and devastating retained energy over 2,000 ft-lbs past 1,000 yards—ideal for ethical, one-shot takedowns on elk, moose, mule deer, or pronghorn at extended ranges where traditional cartridges falter. Weighing a balanced 7.5 lbs with a rugged charred timber synthetic stock and forend that mimics scorched walnut for stealthy concealment in burned-over prairies or timbered draws, this Lupo BE.S.T. model swings effortlessly through brush or open plains, offering a lightweight yet rigid platform for all-day glassing and stalking without the fatigue of heavier magnums. Field-tested globally and backed by Benelli's three-shot sub-MOA guarantee, it earns rave reviews from Petersen’s Hunting and American Hunter for its crisp 2.2-4.4 lb adjustable trigger that breaks like glass and chassis bedding system that locks the steel barrel to the alloy receiver for vibration-free precision unaffected by rain, snow, or temperature swings.
Hand-forged in Urbino, Italy, with input from elite guides and long-range specialists, the Benelli Lupo BE.S.T. 7mm PRC redefines bolt-action hunting rifles through its innovative Progressive Comfort system, where polymer buffers in the synthetic stock dynamically absorb up to 70% of the cartridge's stout recoil—making it more shootable than the 7mm Rem Mag while maintaining focus for rapid follow-ups on wary whitetails or charging grizzlies. Reviewers from RifleShooter and Guns & Ammo highlight its smooth 60-degree sculpted bolt throw with three oversized locking lugs for lightning-fast cycling, while the raised comb and Combtech cheek pad minimize facial slap and vibration, ensuring fatigue-free sessions during 100-yard bench tests or 800-yard canyon shots. The 7mm PRC's high-BC bullets excel in ballistic performance, with just 18.9 inches of drop at 400 yards and 27 inches at 500 yards using a 200-yard zero, outperforming the 6.5 PRC in energy retention for tougher game like moose or caribou, and offering a flatter trajectory than the .300 Win Mag with less recoil for all-day hunts. Equipped with a threaded muzzle (5/8"-24) for suppressors or brakes, a one-piece Picatinny rail for optics like Vortex Razor or Leupold Mark 5HD, and integrated swivel mounts for bipods, this rifle's "Perfect Fit" shim kit provides 36 configurations for drop, cast, comb height, and trigger reach without gunsmithing, tailoring it to your build for instinctive pointability. Backed by Benelli's 10-year warranty plus a 25-year corrosion guarantee on BE.S.T.-treated parts, the Lupo 7mm PRC isn't merely a rifle—it's an apex predator's tool, lauded in All4Shooters tests for 0.75 MOA groups with five shots at 100 yards in all weather, delivering decisive on-game results from 200-yard heart lungers to 1,000-yard broadside placements on elusive sheep or goats.
