When I was 19 I called my Remington 700 .375H&H 'Tinkerbelle'.
I like to call my Ruger #1 45-70(loaded with 400gr handloads at 1920fps) 'Sledgehammer'.
My Ruger Standard Auto .22 has always been 'Mr Ruger'.
My Stepdad in Texas had a custom Mauser in .270 that he called 'The Killer'. He practiced constantly on jackrabbits and was absolutely deadly with it.

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.
Addendum : I did not name this one but it’s Factory Model Name is appropriate. My 300 WM, Mod 70 “Black Shadow” makes me smile when I think about it. It’s effective.  Jerry

I wanted a Shiloh from the first add I ever saw for them in a gun mag back in the 70's .didn't get my 1st one till 1991,it's a Long Range Express with a 34" std barrel chambered for 50-140 3 1/4". I call it "Krakatoa". I had a Business Rifle 74 model built by Shiloh in 2010 with extra features, 1 being a 30" round barrel from the #2 Creedmoor model instead of a std weight 28". It's in 45 2 7/8" for antelope to buffalo from near to a mile I call it the "All Business rifle". A few years back Shiloh listed some 74's made for the gun inventory for over the counter sales I went up to Big Timber to pick one out on Halloween of 2015 and ended up with a 34 " HB Montana Roughrider in 45-70 it's pretty front end heavy and I named it " Big Kate" after a gal I knew who had the same problem. 7 months later I won one just like it with a 30" barrel so I call it "Little Sis". I am getting old now and prefer not to clutter my mind with anymore names for guns. I do remember "Bulleit", "Pendleton" "Makers Mark" at the liquor store though.
