I have a sticker on the stock of my 30-06 that I got from deer urine company. It has a cartoon buck with evil looking green eyes and BLACKDEATH spelled out across the bottom. I don't ever call my guns any names. I just thought that the sticker looked cool.

This is my 7 saum, I named her Farah to tease my wife, I always tell her that I am sneaking off into the hills with Farah. I let a friend of mine have a fling with her to take this buck.

She don't jam man. It's pretty cool how you can hold the trigger in on those old pumps, a little grease and they'll fire nearly as fast as an auto. BTW the radio works too -- if you want to listen to the one local AM station that is.

Some, but not all of my rifles have names.
"Stub" is the 17 inch barreled Ruger 77 (hacked a bulge - not mine - out of the end; shoots great). Later bobbed the stock fore and aft, and slimmed it up some to make a "carbine" out of it "for the wife". Beat Ruger to their "Frontier Rifle" by about 10 years.
"Jezebel" is an old sporterized M98. She's been around some, had a couple face lifts (military 7 or 8 mm - assumed - to '06 to .280), her action's a little loose, but if you hold her tight and stroke her gentle, she'll give you a good bang and hopefully make your meat go limp. When I traded a ML for her, she was wearing one of those awful Herter's stocks, and was in '06. I later screwed on a 7mm barrel and reamed it to .280, and fitted an ordered but never picked up Winchester 70 Brown Precision 'glas stock to her. She's a whore, but has a good heart. I've killed a whole lot of stuff with that gun.
"Lady Killer" for the .260 is still on probation. So far it's killed a caribou, an elk, and a wolf, all females, all in one season.

I call my .375 "El Troubador". The critters hate it when he sings his song.
