What rifles have you bought twice?

@cavedweller, of my BRK trinity it really is my favorite for what I do. Yesterday I was plinking with mine from 25 to 50 yards. My second Atomic wears a red dot sight and is lighter still. Its my action shooter on tin cans. A quick and devious way to hook newcomers to the sport… The lightness of the rig, if not overscoped is simply sweet… That said my Pathfinder is really sweet now that I downsized the scope… Yes, I give up magnification for target shooting, but for plinking and pesting the smaller scopes are good for me. So nice, I got it twice…🙈😈

My next purchase is a BRK. Does it come with a folding stock? When I’m hunting, I like my notos because it compact but I’m looking for something even more compact that can reach 75-100yrs max. Can the BRK shoot slugs ok?

The Atomic and Ranger are lower powered pellet shooters… They are not 75-100 yard PCPs, I don’t believe they generate enough energy to be efficient with slugs. The Ranger comes with a folding stock, the stock on the Atomic is extendable. You might consider looking at the Commander (folding stock), Sniper, or Ghost for what you’re describing… Good luck!

Thanks for the tip! I’ll look into the other options!
 
Well, mostly Q78's ( 5 ?) and an even half dozen 50's. Tho I certainly would buy another custom rifle from Martin if finances allowed! taken while on break Squrell hunting.
Bam 50 with ChrisK riser & Big Ed full length LW barrel & shroud -stippling from an FT shooter-.
Sold this one years ago but a forum member here was kind enough to sell it back to me a year or so ago, so really did purchase this exact rifle more than once.

I have bought two Diana 54 Air Kings. Sold the first, and, bought another. Turns out it was a low- powered model made for the English market, I had it re-powered and tuned. I had a TX-200 , but sold it. Later I took a TX-200 HC in trade. I have since put on a walnut left- hand stock and still own it. It has been tuned.

@L.Leon - you tempted me yet again to come off my wallet and get me a pathfinder! I have a red dot just crying for an airgun to sit on. I have a commander xr that I got from @ThomasT that thing is my secret weapon but it is lonely and needs more BRK love ❤️

Oh, that's easy,..the FWB300 in all it's iterations. I think I've had at least 15 of them. I shoot 'em, rebuild 'em, sell 'em and get another. They are the single finest example of old world engineering in airguns ever. To see a rifle that is over 50 years old, shoot a group of 1 single pellet is just amazing. They were designed to shoot 1 MILLION rounds before needing any kind of maintenance, whew!

I bought, sold and rebought numerous M-rod pistols.

Several FWB 300’s all sold now, but dang if I’m not on the look out for a lefty again.

HW97 sold, buy now I have two HW77’s (close enough).

Several T200s (Avanti, CZ and Air Arms) all sold, but I’m sure I’ll get one again

I’ve had 3 MAC1 USFTs, none now, but if one comes by at an excellent price, I’d get it.
 
4 Career 707's - 1 177, 3 22s (accurate and powerful)
2 Daystate LR90s, 177 and 22 (very nice, miniature Huntsman's)
3 Daystate Huntsman Mk2 's, all 177 (extraordinarily accurate)
4 Red Wolfs (awesome!)
4 Sharp Ace Target's (incredibly accurate with great triggers!)
3 FWB 124s (👍)
2 R1s (👍)
3 FWB 300s (👍👍)
3 Hatsan Galation's in 177 (serious, heavy, powerhouses!)
5 Mendoza Competencia's (👍)

Probably more...
Still have at least 1 of all these but a lot got traded or sold to friends and family...
