[First Look] Benelli KAOS: Limited Edition One-Of-A-Kind Rifles

The Lupo line of rifles from Benelli isn’t new, but they are good rifles. What is new is the new KAOS limited edition line of Lupo rifles. These are only cosmetic changes to the line, but it’s interesting enough that we think you might want to hear about it.

The Lupo KAOS is a limited edition version from Benelli that offers a one-of-a-kind rifle for every buyer.

Chambered only in 6.5 Creedmoor, the KAOS line of rifles has a distinctive look due to a combination of base coat and overcoat that is carefully selected and hand-distressed at the factory. The barreled action is finished with Cerakote, which adds two or more colors from a 15-color earth-tone palette. The result is a high-quality rifle that not only looks unique but also performs with unmatched reliability and accuracy in the field.

The Lupo has a sub-MOA guarantee and a nice list of features:1

• Free-floating Crio-treated 24-inch barrel with a 5/8×24 threaded muzzle
• Adjustable 2.2- to 4.4-lb. trigger
• Sculpted bolt with three locking lugs and a 60-degree bolt throw to accommodate low-mounted optics
• Detachable box magazine
• Combtech cheek pad to mitigate felt facial recoil
• Progressive Comfort integrated recoil management
• Trigger reach spacers for a custom fit
• Integrated swivel mounts
• Two-piece Picatinny rail system for optic mounting

On top of that, Benelli is running two different contests with their new line of rifles:

• Consumer Photo Contest – From June 15th through July 31st, we ask consumers to go into a Benelli Dealer location, check out the new LUPO KAOS, and post a photo of them to social media with the hashtags #BenelliKAOS or #LupoKAOS. On August 1st, we will draw one winner to receive a trip to Outdoor Solutions long-range shooting school in Utah.
• KAOS Purchasers Contest – Purchasing customers can register their new LUPO KAOS on BenelliUSA.com and check if it is one of ten “chosen guns” made with a color-matching Steiner Predator 8 rifle scope valued at $2,000. One of those ten lucky buyers will also be selected to attend an Outdoor Solutions long-range school in 2024.

MSRP is $2,000
