Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Multiple Rifles of same chambering?

The only multiple ones I own and can justify (in my messed up mind are):

308 Win: Sako finnwolf and Springfield M1A
223 Tikka sporter and ar-15's
7.62x39mm. Ruger predator bolt and AK-47 clone


Who has a bunch of the same and how do you decide which goes hunting and which stays home?

5 7mm-08’s
3 6.5 CM’s
4 30-06’s

I usually just pick a couple of rifles to hunt with each year. These are the duplicates though.

I have two Winchester M 70's in .270 Win, one is a Featherweight and the other is a Super Grade.

Also have two Winchester M 70's in .375 H&H, one is a Super Express and the other is a Stainless Steel.

I have two .22 PPC's, one is a Sako and the other is a Parkwest Arms.

Have two 7x57 Mauser's, one is a custom build and the other is a Winchester M 70 Featherweight.

3 .22LR - whim of the day
3 .223 - Ruger Hawkeye sporter for walking around, heavy barreled Savage for prairie dogs from a bench, and an AR just because dems are against them
3 .45-70 Haven't hunted with any of them

Two each:

.25-35 Win (Contender Carbine, Winchester 94AE)
.257 Roberts (Browning A-Bolt Micro, Remington 722)
7.62x39 (CZ 527, Ruger Mini-Thirty)
.303 British (BSA Enfield Model E, Ruger No. 1)
.32 Win Spl (Marlin 336RC, Winchester 94)
.325 WSM (Winchester 1885, Browning BAR)
.348 Win (Winchester 71 Rifle, Browning 71 Carbine)
.358 Win (Browning BLR, Ruger M77)
.405 Win (Winchester 1895, T/C Encore)

Well.... 22 Rimfire and 17 HMR do not count. I have about 10 total for prairie dingos..... 😂

in 308 Winchester I have a Steyr, a Kimber, a Remington 40X and Remington 700s in LVSF, XCR CT, XCR LRT, VTR and 5R Milspec configurations. There may be others not coming immediately to mind.


Added: I did forget one, I have a 700 Mountain Rifle stainless synthetic lurking about.

45-70 in a Marlin 1895 XLR, an 1895 Cowboy LTD, a Guide Gun, a Rolling Block on a Swedish action and a Rolling block from the Custom Shop.

I loved them all for different uses and ammo but have moved on to smaller cartridges here in the South East US.

22 Long rifle doesn't count...

No duplicate centerfires except for two .308 Palma rifles, a primary and backup, for match shooting.

i HAVE MULTIPLE:

.30-06'S: KIMBER MONTANA, ALL TERRAIN SS CRF FW, BLUED PRE-WAR M70 IN A PACIFIC RESEARCH STOCK, 1989 RANGER IN A SYNTHETIC STOCK.

FWIW: THE PRE-WAR IS ON HOLD FOR ONE OF THE BOYS. THE '89 IS HEADED FOR PERMANENT RESIDENCE IN WYOMING ALONG WITH A 10/22, AN AR-15, 12 GA 870, .22 LR PISTOL AND A 9MM GLOCK.

THEN i WON'T NEED TO FLY WITH THEM TO HUNT.

.223'S: AR-15'S AND A .223 HAWKEYE SS UL. THEAR'S RANGE FROM PENCIL TO HEAVY BARREL VERSIONS.

.308'S: GUNSITE SCOUT SS 18.7" BBL IN A SYNTHETIC, SPRINGFIELD M1A MATCH,

I have a lot more multiples than singles.

Just in 6.5mm bore rifles I have the following; 2x 256 Newton, 3x 6.5-284, 10x 6.5x55. 18x 6.5 Creedmoor, and 22x 260.

I keep a few firearms and a full set of hunting kit cached with friends in Etna, NH, and few plinking and protection firearms at our house in Breckenridge, CO, so that I don't have to fly with firearms if I want to hunt or shoot in those locations.

Two each of a few:
.22 lr, Ruger 77/22, Marlin 39 Mountie
.223, Ruger Mini 14, Savage Edge
300 Savage, Savage 99F, Remington 700 Classic
.308, Savage 99F, Kimber Montana

you should build another 270 ingwe

I have multiples of:

.204 Ruger X2
.22 lr X2
.223 Rem X4
6mm Creedmoor X2
.270 Win X2
.300 BLK X2
.30-30 X2
.300 Savage X2
.308 X2
.50 Cal ML X3

I used to, before the tragic boating accident.

Be honest, how many AR15's do you have?

If you have more than one 6.5 creedmoor, does that mean you have to turn in your man card and wear a man bun???

My weakness is 270 Bee's have five in the safes

This got me thinking.
Duplicates or more of 5 rounds.

In none of them do I actually use more than one of the guns.

3 22-250s. None have been outside in awhile. Meanwhile, been watching for a
1-8 Tikka! Insanity!
