What rifles have you bought twice?

I have two FX Streamline .22's with Huma regulators and power plenums. Hawke Airmax 4-12 x 50 AO scopes.

I liked the first (Walnut) one so much that I bought a second (Composite).

I shoot, almost continually for up to 7-1/2 hours, one day/week. Often switching one gun into the compressor while shooting the other.

I have others, but these are my favorites, although am considering a second FX DRS Classic Synthetic 600 mm ,22. The AA S510 Extra .22 may go to make room.

Umarex Canex Tractor Supply let me have 3 of them for $22.50 each, underrated rifle, people have no patience for CO2 :) I may have other dups but different years of production :) Opsi I forgot I had 5 Crosman 362's just gave one away, there is a 100th anniversary edition in that mix, but the others have been modded a wee bit.

You shoot the.30 indoors?
Yes, indoors, at 20 yards from the muzzle (measured by tape) for diabolo pellet / liner twist rate testing.

I set the plenum pressure to 120 bar, the Macro to 8, the Micro to 3, air valve to 4.0, select one of 2 twist rates and test the pellets in five shot groups. After all pellets are tested, I advance the Macro to 9 and test again and repeat until the Macro is at 16.

I choose the pellet & settings for the best group. Verify the grouping, then using a chrono I verify the velocity and reduce the air valve setting until velocity decreases slightly and then increase the Micro setting until velocity just increases.

One I have a pellet & settings for each liner I go outside at night with no wind and test at 50 yards using an N50 target. I shoot 1 card a night until I have 6 cards. Then I repeat for the remaining liner. I then use the liner/pellet/settings combination with the highest total score.
