This week, we’re taking a closer look at the Benelli BE.S.T. Lupo. A rifle designed for maximum durability against the elements, the BE.S.T Lupo lives up to its acronymic title with a coating termed the Benelli Surface Treatment (BE.S.T.) yielding a quarter-century's defense against rust and corrosion. Applied using nanotechnology and diamondlike carbon particles, BE.S.T. has been tested by submersion in seawater for months, with no signs of rust or corrosion. Learn more about this precision-minded hunting rifle, and the coating which protects it in the video embedded above, hosted by Editor in Chief Scott Olmsted. MSRP: $1,899-$2,199; benelliusa.com.
