Out of interest who owns more than one of the same caliber and what caliber ?

I do not have more than one of any of the same caliber (yet) ......

.

Caliber and not cartridge correct?
I have a 12-15 different 6.5 caliber cartridges/rifles, and 7 different .375 cal, not even sure how many 22 cal.

.

Caliber / cartridge - you decide .....

I have four .270 WSM'S, two .358 STA's, and two 6.5 PRC's. Between myself, son, grandsons and great grandson we do a lot of shooting and hunting Deer and Elk. I load for all and furnish the rifles and enjoy every minute of the loading, hunting, and tales that go with it all. Good Shooting.

Single shot marked 7x57 and bolt action marked 275 Rigby.

30-06 and 308, 222.223.22-250,.22 long rifle, 38 special 357 mag

Mostly I try not to have two of the same with the exception of my collectable guns (mostly winchesters and Savage 99s)..and those that catch my eye for a certain reason...

Bottom line is do what blows your skirt up!

Multiple rifles in 270 and 06, such common rounds I seem to end up with them without trying. I also like both rounds, very effective and efficient, even if they're somewhat boring.

Got three 7x57 Mausers and getting a 275 Rigby built as we speak.

I have multiples calibers of .204, .224, .243, .264, .277, .284 and .308.

I only have one rifle in each of 7x33 Sako, .25 Remington, .32-20, .25-35, and .256 Winchester.

I think I have more than one of everything else

30-06 have a bolt, 2 levers, a pump and a semi auto
308 2 bolts
6 44 mag handguns and a rifle
4 44-40 handguns and 2 rifles
6 45 acp

9mm, .40, .45lc, .454 casull

I'll find one I like, then find a different style I like. So many guns, so little time

I have several calibers in more than one rifle.

In fact, my own designed and built hunting rifle, the 375/404, I have two which I take hunting to Africa every year.

Several of us use these.

Makes life very simple.

One load used in both for everything.

This year our group shot 22 buffalo, 2 lions, 1 leopard and many other assorted game animals.

Load is a 300 grain Walterhog bullet I make here myself loaded to around 2800 fps.

Lots of duplication, with 3-5 in several different varmint cartridges.

I have
2-358 STAs
2-270 Win
3-375 Rugers

Lots of rifles. Mainly .223/5.56 and .308/7.62 NATO, 8x57, and .30-06.

Handguns- lots.

Shotguns- I only have 3 .410’s, the rest are more than that.

If you are a collector, you get lots of duplicates. In the US, anyone who wants to can collect, as we don’t have the limited license laws… yet.

Two Mannlicher Schoenauers Model 1903 one a Takedown the other a Stutzen. Both 6.5X54 of course.

five in 30-06
3 in 375 HH
2 358 norma
2 450 3-1/4"
4 44-40
2 .308
but my biggest vice is the 28 ga shotguns, of which I have at least 12

Yes

I'm an absolute fool for a 28 gauge shotgun. I own at least five (one pump, one auto, two SxS, and one O/U combo with 20 & .410 bbls) which I've not taken the opportunity to shoot, seeing as how I'm not a clay shooter and mourning doves (my all time favorite game bird) have been scarce in my neck of the woods for the last several years.

You are kidding, right? I have no caliber, in just one rifle. If I ever find myself in that situation I will build another one or 3. I never take the same rifle afield more than once, and never take anything common like a 30-06; and would not use a 270 as a tent stake. This post is made solely to piss off the 270 lovers out there. Just to be clear, so I won't get any more hate mail; reached my limit this week from one guy alone.
Disclaimer; I do have only one 500 Nitro.

WAIT! Charlie; I just noticed your tag line; Up the ladder and down the snakes!
What in hell does that mean, and if it includes real slithering snakes, I don't want to know.
(Fortunately, I feel free to diverge from the original thread topic and post mindless drivel, without fear of retribution.) Again.

Yes, I have more than one rifle in the same caliber(s), and yes, I may need counseling.

I have twins in several cartridges.
twins as in 2 Ruger MK-II 77's in 25-06.
2 Winchester 92's in 25-20
etc..
if your gonna have a backup they might as well share parts, scope pieces, and ammo in case they both break.

I have multiples, not completely sure how many in:
222
223
223AI
6.5CM
30/06 although I'm ashamed to admit it!
308
9.3x57
9.3x62
And my Favorite.....
10.75x68!!!!!

I've got a half dozen or so each of 270's & .223's, a few odd 30/06's and two gross+- of .22LR's

dpcd, like and enjoy your method of pissing people off. We all need a little.

Working on my second rifle squad worth of M1 Garands. You're just minding your business buying one from the CMP to own a piece of history, next thing you know you've got one from each manufacturer, then a 6-digit SN, 6M serial number, M1D sniper modification, and a 5-digit rifle comes in your next order, you buy a 4-digit receiver off the forum, a 3-digit receiver pops up for sale a week later, and you need a second gun safe.

Why would t you wa t multiples in the same caliber.

They can be set up for different jobs

I have three 223/5.56 in ARs in different configurations and three Savage 243s, one in a Savage 99, one a lightweight hunter and one in a long range match/varminter configuration.

2 - .22 Rimfire
2 - 6.5
3 - .308

1 competition, 1 hunting in each except .308, where 2 are used in competition.

Lots of repeats here

Many .22 LR
Several .22 hornets, .222, .223, .243, 6mm BR, 6.5x55, 7.5x55, .300 BO, 30BR, 30/30Win, .308Win, 30/06, 375 H&H, 458Wm, 458Lott

That's off the top of my head....doesnt include pistols...

.30-06. Have 2
.308 have 4
.243. Have 3
.223/5.56 have 4
.30-.30 have 4
