Own more than one of a make/model?

[steve-kville]

I'm really digging the P-mods for some reason. My first one a put an AR stock on and a 2-7 Burris I had. Makes for a handy little critter getter! Second one was gonna be left as a pistol but my son took a liking to it. It new sports the original shoulder stock and a Bug Buster scope. I still don't have my pistol and I have some PA points to burn up, so I'm considering a third.

Is this normal in this hobby?

 

[dizzums]

yeah ots normal .. i really like the daina bandits and stormriders and if you dig the prod you probably would to .. theres so many configs you can do with them and theyre accurate to, so ive bought like 4 altogetjer to mix and match things and play around .. most fun ive had so far outside of the more serious side of pest execution lol ...

 

[Mike_Lenardon]

Yup. I have 2 Talon-Ps. One in .22 and one in .20

I won't pass judgement on what's normal. If you like a platform go with it. I enjoy the Huben K1. I tried a Used K1 in .25 to see if I liked them. Yes indeed I did, had Kelly at Krazy Kool mod one to .177. I've contemplating selling the SK 19 in .22 to switch to a K1 in .22. In all honesty I probably just keep the SK 19 and just add the K1 in .22. It's an addiction find the magic potion and want, need more. Enjoy the ride.

Who cares about 'normal', and what really is normal any more?

I really like how john8 phrased it: "It's an addiction find the magic potion and want, need more. Enjoy the ride."

What’s normal is we all have this addiction, what’s normal for you is up to you. Shoot what you like and can afford, it is also normal for your “normal” to change and evolve over time. As long as you enjoy it then that’s the correct normal.

That is what I do, I have 9 PCP all are of the same brand 6 are basically a variation of the same model

 

[biohazardman]

Yes, many of us have several of the 22xx guns I have about ten. Does that count? ;^) Although they no longer look the same these all started life as a lowly 2240 or 2250 co2 gun. Only one remains on co2 the rest have graduated to PCP. Quite the addiction they turned out to be. I have near twenty years into werqing on some of them now and still starting new builds, using the same platform, as well.

 

[theLBC]

you should visit some brand specific forums like sigtalk. there are folks with every variation of many guns and i would only assume that is true for airguns as well.

I have 2 1322s with a disturbing amount of $ between the two. And I had 2 fx crowns, but sold one. I know others here may have anywhere from 3-6 of the same model. Even very expensive ones, too.

Guilty. Five BSA Scorpion pistols and five Skanakers.

I've yet to completely dupe a PCP, but I am getting closer all the time. I can certainly see the appeal. I like the ones I have, and can see just grabbing bargain on used one in a different caliber, or to mod.

After getting the Kratos and loving it so much, I grabbed a used Akela. Same mechanics, different stock and tune. But I'd gotten the Kratos after waiting over a year for the Kral Puncher Pro 500 to come back in stock, anywhere. Well, almost two years after getting the Kratos, that Pro 500 was suddenly in stock everywhere last week. Mine arrived today. All three are very similar, and I just love the Turkish walnut on them. Now I'm thinking of modding the Pro 500, make it a "Puncher Pro 700" with the new CF 700cc bottle, and maybe replace the "pingy" aluminum shroud with CF?.. time will tell.

Two RAW HM1000X one in .25 and one in .22

Marauder, 1701P, Impact, Beeman P17, and others. More than one is normal. Just need to balance airguns with things like eating, housing and clothing. You know, the stuff you can't shoot without. Too much on airguns means you don't have a place to sleep (store the airguns), food to eat (too weak to shoot airguns) clothes to wear (don't let you on the range without cloting and safety), and a car to get you to shooting sites. Gotta find that balance. . . . . . .

 

[Vetmx]

Nope. I like variety. I don’t own two of the same of anything except shoes, socks and gloves.

I just joined this group.

I saw that Utah Airguns put the Caiman and Caiman X (among others) on sale. Didn't think much about it, as I have one of each, both in .22
Then I thought, what about modifying the stock and putting a vinyl wrap on it.

So...I bought a second Caiman, with thoughts on how I want to modify the stock, and I have a couple of pieces of wrap that I can use...so...out came the card.
