I really like the Benelli Lupo. I have had a great experience with their rifles so far. It only comes in one model with a wood grain. The stock is listed as "AA Grade Walnut"

When I have looked at them in stores and online I feel like there is something not natural about the wood. Many of them also seem to have a lot of character for a gun in their price range.

One thing I notice is that some appear to have wood grain that almost goes two directions, horizontal and diagonal.

I know that Beretta catches heat sometimes for doing cosmetic enhancements to their wood stocks.

Since Benelli is owned by the same parent company as Beretta, I am wondering if anyone knows if they are also using some of Berettas style wood grain enhancements.

Interested in what people more expert in this than me have to say. I will try to attach some photos.

I bought a great deal of the brass he had for sale, plus I already had many hundred rounds.

How much brass are you looking for?

Hi Green Chile, I just recently bought a 470 NE barrel for my Thompson Center TCR 83-87 single shot. Im just looking for some 470 NE to shoot at the range just to try it out. I dont need anything special but I just wanted to see what you have left. I dont necessarily even need a full box.
Thanks
Bill
