GSPfan: I have 10 (ten) pre-64 Model 70's in caliber 243 Winchester, alone!
So yeah - I am of the mindset that having "duplicate calibers" is of NO detriment or consequence at all.
In fact I like that situation.
Had one of my hard copy inventories out and decided to go ahead and see how many duplicate calibers I have and it came to 11 (eleven) calibers I have more than ONE of.
And if I would not have "traded off" a 358 Winchester Featherweight a while back I would have 12 (twelve) sets of multiples.
When it comes to Winchester pre-64 Model 70's I say, the more the merrier.
Long live The Riflemans Rifle!

P.S.: Whoops I forgot to include a triplicate set of 300 Winchester Magnums I own (two Westerner-Alaskans and a Bull Gun) so my number should indeed be 12 (twelve) sets of multiples.
