My personal take on this is that one should be able to call their firearms what they want.
I call my 30-06s "Thirty Briar Light Magnum", unless I really want to put on airs in which case, I refer to them as "Seven-Six-Two by Sixty-three" I call my 25-06 a "Twenty-five Niedner" I'm thinking of calling my 7mm-08 a "Two-Seventy-Five Rigby- Ought Eight"
If Bruce Jenner can wear a dress, and call himself a woman, I should at least be able to name my deer rifles what I want.
