Hello cgn members. This is my first post, Iong time lurker though.

Edit: Due to the high level of hate this post has been edited.

The objective of the post was to bring awareness of marketing deception, however this somehow became an opportunity for the hate vultures to circle and spew out a bunch of useless opinions on my reason for purchasing the rifle.

The rifle is not limited edition, there. Happy?

If you liked the rifle that much, what does it matter if a million people have one?

Or are you looking for an investment ? Contrary to popular belief that’s not usually firearms boss.

I imagine you’ll be hard pressed to find sympathy here.. most people would be happy when a company continues making a popular and well designed rifle rather than limiting it and the market further.

The fact that you “don’t want it anymore” and plan to sell it because its production has been expanded is hilarious TBH.

Thanks for the chuckle

*shrug*


PS it’s just a 3D printed stock. Probably worth LESS over time than its wood counterparts. We are running out of nice wood.. same can’t be said for plastic!

I’m not sure where you have gotten the idea that I’m looking for sympathy? I thought I was being very transparent about the reason for the post which was to bring awareness to others of this possible marketing deception. I also made it very clear that I was a collector and collectors often purchase things that are rare and uncommon, its part of the fun of collecting(knowing that its uncommon). I never said anything about investing or trying to make a profit. There are far better ways to invest then on something like this.

Really wasn't expecting criticism for this write up but not going to take you seriously, I’ve been a lurker on this site long enough to know and should have expected negative criticism. You’re exactly the type of person that keeps people like me from wanting to participate from online forums.

Thanks for being so welcoming to the community

I’m not an expert in 3D printing but wood is what I do. There is no shortage of wood when it comes to wood for firearms which is generally 3 varieties of walnut, none of which we are running out of. Claro Walnut is the nicest and there is an abundance. Its not a natural tree but a graft with a black walnut root and english walnut trunk. These are orchard trees for walnut production. These tree’s are being cut down now as they are at the end of their productive life cycle, the wood is a bi-product.
soft lumber is running short, I live on Vancouver island and can vouch for that but aside from exotic imported wood which is not used in firearm production, there is no shortage of hardwoods in North America

Each successive run of 1000 may have differences (Maybe)

I had thought that myself, the lupo receiver doesn't come in very many cartridges and the alpha model is just a standard refined lupo so we’ll see but the article did specifically mention .308.

Update:

I’ve gotten a response from Stoeger Canada, I can’t post the response as there is a disclaimer at the bottom of the email and that would be illegal.

Pretty much Benelli got a strong demand for the rifle and decided to capitalize off of it. Although its still being advertised as limited its not, its a production a rifle now.
 
now you are becoming experienced collecting ltd runs of anything is not investment collection exsampleDucks unlimited art work guns what have you
you will be lucky to get 2200$ for your gun
 
Welcome to the wonderful world of firearm collecting. My suggestion would be to USE your guns and find another collecting hobby. Welcome to the site all the same.
 
I'm not sure how this is all that different from rifles like the Ruger #1, which is produced in limited numbers each year in only one or a couple of chamberings. The next year they move on to different cartridges. Each production run is "limited". Collectors also love to search out years of production, looking for that elusive first-year-production specimen which is identical in every way to successive years but seems somehow more appealing and irresistible to "collectors". Shooters generally don't give a crap.

I also seem to recall a few instances in the past where a maker introduced a new rifle that would be limited only to a single production run of X number of rifles. In at least a couple of cases, the demand was intense and the makers decided to turn the gun into a regular production item, but successive production runs had some minor alterations that kept those first guns unique and didn't pull the rug out from under buyers like the OP who bought the thing as a collectable.

Is this gun by any chance marked as being "Number whatever of 1000"? There ya go; it's unique.

Hell, I have a rifle listed in the EE now, which a potential buyer inquired about. Upon checking it out, I was surprised to find that it was from the first year of production; no different than successive years, but...I dunno...maybe I should increase the price on it?!?!? :LOL:
