Yes, it’s worth tripleI'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?!?!?
Nothing to see here

Incidentally, in the video the rep mentions that this is the lightest metal-chassis rifle on the market. How is this a metal chassis? It looks like the 3D printed stock is mounted on the barreled action just as any wood or regular synthetic stock would be. How is this a metal chassis? Does the stock contain a metal spine like a Savage Accustock or similar?
Edited to add: Okay, a bit more snooping reveals to me that the Lupo line has a chassis/receiver that is equipped with a 2-piece stock. Still unsure whether the upper portion of the receiver is steel permanently embedded into an alloy lower section, or if the entire thing is alloy and the bolt locks directly into the rear of the barrel. One of the things about the Sig Cross that drew me to it was the fact that the receiver was an integral piece to which the stocks were attached; no separate "chassis" as such. The Lupo would be much more interesting...to me, at least...if it used this type of design.

Have you considered volunteering at your local animal shelter? You clearly have a lot of free time and it would do wonders for your well being.
It took 2 seconds to find, Google search and AI did all the work. Not much free time at all, I’m building my own home and work about 100 hours a week, I’m just a very productive person and don’t spend my life on forums. You should try getting out once in a while. You may be surpised what one can accomplish in a day.
I don’t hunt, pencil barrels don’t make great bench guns. I have guns I shoot and guns I collect
Thank you for the constructive comment, glad it was’nt more hate. Last thing this world needs is another #######
I responded to a similar comment already, I don’t collect for financial gain, I just like uncommon things. Store offered me a return today less 10% and I’d have to pay return shipping so I could get about $2900. Thinking about it
no edition number, just claims made initially from Benelli. You summed it up the rug pull comment. To tell your customer one thing then do another is shady business practice, it was part of what made this rifle “special” Thank you for an actual valid response, appreciated.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.

Man the hate on this site, think most of you are missing the point which is deceptive marketing. I’m just trying to let others know, that’s all…jeeze
