What rifles have you bought twice?

Back in the day I used to enjoy watching the Jerry Springer Show or Maury once a month or so, partly because it always made me feel so successful compared to the trainwrecks they had as guests.

I get a little bit of the same satisfaction here. I don't seem like half the airgun hoarder everyone thinks I am when I read this thread.
Hoarding, generally applies to bringing things into ones life that lacks any real value and is never used.
The real hoarding hazard begins when the path to the kitchen, toilet and bed become dangerously cluttered to the point of impassible. It would be interesting to see a pic of a true airgun hoarders' house.

Sure thought I had responded to this way back but skimmed through and couldn't find it....

3x FWB300 or 300s- still have two
3x Veteran- still have three

I've been telling myself there's a moratorium on new airguns, and I've mostly been able to hold true to that. Had a little fling with a Condor .20 a few months ago but it already went on to it's new home.

It's easier to slow my roll on buying a new gun when I remind myself that I don't have enough time to shoot what ones that I already have.

Agree on the philosophy of less is more.
If i didn't allow potential "new FT shooters to try all these different platforms (to get them hooked) I'd keep just "four" of "too" many that i have.
Thank goodness its a hobby and not an obsession ;)
 
I will play, after using my 1st Atomic XR and being flabbergasted by its outsized performance? I purchased a second as a backup and to configure differently. Zero regrets because they are both simply Boss…💥

I have regretted buying two electronic guns, a Delta Wolf and a Skout Epoch. Just sold the Skout and will be selling the Daystate .25 Delta Wolf as soon as I qualify with enough posts. The Delta Wolf has fewer than 250 rounds through it. I will stay with mechanical guns for now on, I just ordered a RTI Mora in .25 600 barrel, should be here next week, I hope I made a good choice.
 
Have not bought this one twice per say, traded my huben k1 for for a U2 .22 700mm. I have LOVED IT so much, that I bought a buddies U2 .22 compact

FWB 300 ( more than 10)

These are some of the airguns I've had at least two of and some I've had more. The FWB 300 Jr is one of my all time favorites. FWB sure knows how to make an Airgun.

Its been a great journey! 2 Hatsan Gladius .22 accurate and .177 not accurate, sold, then a Marauder .22 and a Talon SS. Didn't like wrapping my head around the bottle and sold it after 1 year. 2 years later I bought another Talon SS and put a MadDog stock on it, gave it to a friend who has ground squirrels on his property, and then about a year ago I bought another one, added a MadDog stock, Athlon 4-14 FFP scope on it and plan to keep it.
Over the years I've had 2 Wildcats - sold,. 2 Hubens - my first I had some problems, some induced by me and some by the gun; it went back to KrazyKool AG 4 times - I got frustrated with it and sold it cheap, missed it and bought one in 2022 and love it. I'm on my second Cricket Mini Carbine, Sold my first, missed it and traded for another. 2 FX Impacts a MK2 .25 and a Compact .22, both are keepers. I've had a few other brands numerous Brococks, AGT, an Ataman, Leshy2. I'm not quite the fanatic I used to be BUT after I sell a Cricket Carbine .45 next year I'll probably be looking to buy a Pathfinder or a "Mister Chubby" Airmaks Krait. Now I don't buy one until I sell one. I have 5 places that I shoot ground squirrels which is the only hunting I've ever done - 30 to 90 yards.
Pictures of my current Talon and BRK Ghost and a target I shot this afternoon, 30 yards out of my garage off a chair on my Bog Pod field Pod. I would rate myself as a good shot, not a great shot.
