I know that I SHOULD have a backup rig. I don't. Yet.
Having said that, since it would require purchase of a second rifle, I would most likely get a second HW97 as my backup just for simplicity in keeping spare parts on hand.
Ed, how often have you needed to go to your second rig?
Bob
PS: I LOVE having a reason to buy another rifle. THANKS!!!

Well...as of now...I haven't had to use a backup rig. I just relied on my D34 last season which served me well but is now setup solely for Gunslynger. I purchased the TX and HW late in the year to see what I would like better. I set them up the same. Right now I'm liking the TX so I already contemplated buying another to have 2 exact setups. I will decide sometime throughout this season once they get some matches under their belt.

Yep, understood, Ed.
I do replace the spring every season, even if the rifle is shooting great.
Proactive peace of mind.
If I were investing a big hunk of money to travel to a contest, I think I'd be very motivated to have a backup rig.
Best wishes,
Boinger Bob

When going to a big 2 or 3 day match i belive a backup rifle is smart to have.
When going to worlds I was lucky enough to have multiple offers to borrow backup guns as I only had on WFTF Piston gun.
Keeping the guns the same model is nice, spare parts like a spring kit and seals are drop in for both guns.
My main:
HW97k
Chopped hw spring and my own guide/ tophat
Hawke Sidewinder ED 10-50
Rowan Extra set back
RAM 1.5" ball socket mount (hamster)
Backup:
HW97K
Vortek
Tac Vector 10-40 Gen 2
Same Ram mount.
Now that the wife will potentially be shooting piston my spare has now become her main (if I don't get a different gun better for her)
Backups are nice. I bring scopes and kits all ready to go with pre determined numbers on them.

Hey Mitch,
Its something like this.
Ram Mounts RAM-111 1.5-Inch Diameter Ball Mount with 6.25-Inch by 2-Inch Rectangular Base and 2.5-Inch Round Base, Black Finish
I use a diamond shaped base instead of the circle one, but it acts as a ball socket adjustable riser.
