I spent several years as a sound technician at a larger music venue, and I always found it entertaining and interesting that guitar players invariably named their guitars. I have heard some wonderful stories as a result of asking about some of those names.
I have seen some really great names for custom rifles in this forum so I thought it would be entertaining if folks would post the names they've given their rifles, or the names that they've acquired.
IIRC I have seen a 25-06(AI?) swirly called the "Little Red Rooster", the "Original Coyote Bomber", a "Red Hot" and a number of others.
When I take some pics and get them loaded I'll post my own.

Nothing earth shattering but I do call my 280 "Old Faithful". Whatever comes into its crosshairs goes down with one pull of the trigger. I refer to my Encore Wby as the "Hybrid". It has a blued receiver, stainless barrel, black scope rings, aluminum scope base, black forend, camo butt stock & a Cabela's Special purple, gray & silver web painted scope.
Don't have a name picked out for my Dakota yet.

A.J., I have a McSwirly stocked M-Seven in 7mm SAUM. When the stock was ordered, it was ordered as a 50% Burgundy, 25% Lt Grey, and 25% White... I neglected to take into consideration that the lighter colors would "bleed" a bit. Thus it ended up a rather ligher shade of Burgundy.  When I had a gunsmith friend fit the B/A into the stock, He lovingly dubbed it: "Hunting Barbie". Ironically, the name just stuck....
