Feets / Collection / My build My first two purchases after getting my PAL: a pair of Italian Stallions

I picked up a Benelli Lupo in 6.5 Creedmoor and a Beretta 1301 MOD2 in the Jungle Stripe on sale as my first two pickups. I tried them out for the first time today at the range as I’ve had them kicking around but between work and family and general life, I didn’t have much time to actually try them out.

And tbh, a lot of fun. The Italians sure know how to design beautiful guns.

Beautiful picks. I absolutely love my lupo, I got the wood stock instead of the synthetic and it's probably the nicest looking gun I own.

I wanted the wood stock! Down the line I may trade this one in for a wood stock one, but it just edged out my budget enough it was hard to justify it.

Yea it wasn't cheap. It was an impulse buy that I found pretty hard to justify until I actually got to shoot it. Then all my regrets vanished.
