This right-hand Benelli Lupo pairs an AA-grade satin walnut stock with black-finished metal and a 22-inch BE.S.T.-treated barrel, threaded for compatible muzzle devices. Chambered in 7mm PRC, it weighs 7.4 pounds, measures 44.5 inches overall and feeds from a detachable four-round magazine for 4+1. The Progressive Comfort stock system and Combtech cheek pad soften recoil on repeat shots, the ergonomics adjust to the shooter, and the receiver is set up for optic mounts. Benelli builds it to shoot sub-MOA with ammunition the rifle likes.

The flat trajectory of 7mm PRC is meant for big game at distance, which in Illinois points to the range and to out-of-state trips rather than the November and December firearm deer seasons. The state's firearm deer list runs to shotguns with slugs, muzzleloaders, qualifying handguns and single-shot centerfire rifles of .30 caliber or larger, and a 7mm repeater sits outside it. The walnut and treated steel make it a rifle to keep rather than a tool to wear out.
