I'm feeling kinda silly for want another rifle in the same cartridge I already own.
So want to know do you guys own more than one rifle of the same cartridge/caliber. For example, you own three or four 30-06's.
Thanks for the feedback!

Including: .22 Hornet .222 Rem .223 Rem .222 Mag .22/250 .243 Win. .25/06 6.5x55 (6) Oh SCREW IT! I don't even want to know where this is leading...

I have two 300WSM's.
Have one 270 and would like to get another one in a lighter version.

Of course!
My logic is, it reduces the cost of reloading components (and dies).
How can you not have a singleshot, lever, bolt, and autoloader in 308 Win? *the horror*

leomort,
Yes, I do. If it's an appealing rifle and a good chambering, they are sometimes too tempting to resist.

Nothing wrong with more than one rifle in the same caliber.

In my experience it's really hard to own only one .22 Long Rifle.
I try to keep it fairly sane these days but right now do have multiple rifles in seven centerfire chamberings. At one point I owned six .30-06's, but now am down to three.
Of course, sometimes we do eventually end up with the ONE perfect rifle for a certain round, but that's pretty rare!

I probably should but don't atm. My rifle collection is pretty lean these days........22LR Brno Model 2, 30-06 Tikka T3 & 338WM Mauser M03 . Another 30-06 is always a safe bet

I only own multiples of cartridges I really like, 22LR, 223, 250AI, 30/30 and 300 Savage. I did have a bushel of 30/06's but ain't hunted one in so long I [bleep] canned all but one.
If'n I could live my life over I'd have a light and heavy 223AI and a light and heavy 308 and call it a day. Not counting 22LR

Got 2 each of the following: 223 22-250 7Mag Only 1 25-06 and it's a bull barrel target rifle. Thinking I "need" a lightweight 25-06.
Those who must raise their voice to get their point across are generally not intelligent enough to do so in any other way.

My favorites I have two or three of each caliber, 22's .222's, .223's, Swifts,30-30's,30-06's and .300's..The rest a single one is ok, but I also need spares in the .25-06 and .22-250's..
