Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire my rifle's name is kimberly , what's yours?

I name children and pets. Like others on here I do not name my firearms. I do have a 2004 Ford ranger that I've begun to refer as "Mr. Spooky" as I'm convinced there is paranormal activity in play.

Death from Afar.......

6.5x55

If I'm hunting big critters here in Maine I break out
" BULLDICK"]

got a very old single shot .22 that only shoots shorts cuz LRs blow the bolt open. My dad bought it as a kid for a buck and it spent years as a trapline dispatcher. For as many years as I can recall it's been called "Pee Wee". There are a very few guns that will never be for sale. Pee Wee is one.

Blondie is what i call my 30-06. Bet you can't guess why!

Only named a few.

One is the 7.5 in.pistol ar15 it's name is Dragon because of the noise and fire it puts out.

The other is an older Mex.Mauser rifle i re-chambered in 7x57,it's name is Black Beauty because it was completely painted in black enamel paint.

The other rifles are just called by their chamberings.

One of the butt sisters.

My most carried rifle a pre-64 mod 70 in 358 Norma magnum was called Norma Jean by all my cohorts!

Butt sisters,,,,, LOL!

What he said.

I've taken to calling my Swedish Mauser "Old iron sights". It's the only one I've got something like a name for.

Only 1 named by me.

After SEVERAL years of consistently killing deer (bucks & does), my Rem M Six 270 Win became Ole Meat In The Pot.


The ONLY other one was named by Winchester - MY 300 W M, = " Black Shadow ", very appropriate.

Ned Roberts

I've never named any of my firearms

My 77/44 is named Splat.

Handload some 180 grain Gold Dots made to open at 44 Special velocities, and launch them at 44 magnum velocities. It's pretty silly!

DD:

The rifle that I use in Alaska and Colorado elk hunting is named Thompson Center (T/C) Icon Weathershield 30-06.
The rifle that I use for antelope and Coues Deer is named T/C Venture 25-06.
The rifle that I use for varmints like prairie dogs is named T/C Icon Precision Hunter .223.
I have a Savage model 93 .22Magnum I call Savage 93 .22magmun.

I could also go on but what would be the point?

I gave names to my children but, I don't give names to my rifles or any other tools that I own. I own a cordless drill that I call cordless drill.

I started calling my Ruger 77 in 7mm Rem Mag “The Lightening Rod” cause it killed deer “outta the blue”, but it’s just “the 7 Mag” now.
Only other thing I ever named was “Henry The Ford”, a not so mild mannered ‘71 Galaxy 4 door. “Henry” is still recalled by friends for his ability to jump through covered bridges and for his hubcap tossing donuts. That car had more personality/soul than anything else I’ve ever drove.
