Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Do you name your rifle?

That’s a beauty Bob. I’m jealous! 😬

Nope.

I had a Weatherby Mark V that I called the Prom Queen. Somehow her chamber started to loosen up and started showing pressures signs so I traded her for a shortie MS 1950 30/06.

Well.....

LOL!!!

I've got Atilla (6.5x284 NORMA)





and Dante (.300 H&H)





I've had Ace, Smoking Joe and Nïgga Bob, but sold them.

No.

Not so much, but others have a proclivity for naming some of them. If any of you ever get to fondle Special I suggest you not start with the short bus jokes. Might knock your snot into next month.

Only one. My Daewoo K2 is named E II after a gf who is ill-tempered and a bit psychotic.

Never named a sporting civilian rifle. I did often name whatever rifle I was issued in the Marines. Especially one I carried overseas.

Generally no, but had assigned nicknames in the past (young and silly) - Uncle M14, Dr Parker (Parker Hale 308) and Grandpa Garand.

Apart from that I've also never assigned gender to objects. I know it's part of many European languages to do this, and even you 'mericans do it too with the feminine eg "She's a beaut" "I got a new rifle and I think I'll try her out this weekend", but never the masculine.

I have one that i named Black beauty.

When i got it is was painted black metal and wood.

My wife's cousin took the military stock and refinished it.
He carved a rather unique point on the forend,it looks like a d-ck head.

It is chambered in 7x57 and has not let me down in 16 years.

I guess that I have no soul, but I have never named a rifle. I only refer to them by make, model, chambering or some combination of those.

My friends started calling my Beretta Mato 7 mm rem mag ole faithful because everytime I have killed all my good Bucks with it. The name kind of stuck. My custom 6.5-06 Is tan in color I started calling it the Pale Horse as a joke because It's taken a Moose a Wolf and a Texas hog with it with just 3 shots and it stacks 127 LRX Barnes into tiny little holes. The name has kinda stuck.

My Montana ended up being known as Moontuna, A corruption of Montana and halibut.

nope

I have an AR pistol I've dubbed Garry Coleman.

7 S

Of all the rifles I have and have had, I named ONLY 1. I could count on that rifle to put 'meat in the pot' EVERY year I hunted it. So guess what I named it. ??

It belongs to my Son now.

I have one rifle the original owner named "Sweet Thing". It's a custom Mauser 243 with a heavy Douglas barrel. I used to refer to my Ruger MKII stainless 243 with a boat paddle stock as "The Ugly Stick".

LOL
