It's worth noting, my Lupo was an early model. If you buy a new Lupo, the safety does in fact lock the bolt in place and this problem is eliminated. On the new ones, there is a little button you can push to release the bolt while the safety is engaged. It is a very nice feature.

I found that Stone Glacier makes a very good scope cover, it wraps around the bolt as well. Comes off the gun in a split second when you want it too. It doesn't fix the problem, but it adequately addresses it, and serves to protect the scope as well...which isn't a bad idea for any rifle.

Just came back from a Manitoba caribou hunt. Used my Lupo 308 at 240 yards, got the job done ! Hiking out, pack loaded with caribou, through brush, my bolt kept snagging on stuff and opening. It has done this before but it seems to be getting worse. The brush was bad. Is there a 3 position safety available for the Lupo? Aftermarket maybe? My previous go to was a Weatherby Vanguard which has a 3 position safety. I never thought I would miss that, but I do now !

I just purchased a Lupo in .308, and topped it off with a Leopold VX-5HD 3-15X44 CDS-ZL2 SIDE FOCUS DUPLEX. I would like to order the CDS dial specific for the ammo I intend to use (once I know for sure what ammo that is). It seems the ammo specs on the boxes are all expressed for a 24" barrel, and I have a 22" barrel. How do I get the right specs on the ammo for Leopold to use? I really would prefer not to have to go out and buy a chronograph at this time if I don't have to (it would be used this one time and I'd never need it again). One other question since I'm here, is there any one ammo that you found is best for the Lupo (gun is for hunting)? I hope I can stick with a selection that is common, and, not on the highest end of the price spectrum for .308 ammo. Thanks anyone !! Patrick
