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!

.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... blush

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*

Gosh I don't know but I seem to get by. Haven't even used the one bolt action .308 I do own in the past 10 years. Frankly it just bores the hell outta me.

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.

I definitely have more rifles than I should based on usage of them, but I'm nowhere near that level, LOL. I am re-evaluating what the mix in my portfolio should be.

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 blush . Another 30-06 is always a safe bet grin

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. crazy

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..
