Bout three decades ago I bought a 30-06, still use it almost every fall. Got a buddy that calls that gun "Killer", cause of all the critters that have succumbed to it.
Lived three years in San Bernrdino in the late 80's, during the height of the Bloods/Crips BS. Murder and crime rates were atrocious.
Carried a Colt Detective Special just about everywhere I went in a vehicle. Kept it in a tin box, usually laying on the seat next to me, that shortbread had originally came in. Soon that gun became known as "Shortbreads". We could talk about it, ("Hey dId you grab Shortbreads? etc.) in front of people and no one had a clue what you were talking about.

50 cal Traditions flintlock = Ole Thunder, cause with 110 gr of FFg and a 540 gr Buffalo Bullet, it roars like thunder, kicks like thunder and kills like lightning.

I've got a Keith Stegall built 25-06 on a pre64 action that is called " Sweetness " . After my buddy saw the itty-bitty groups it shoots with 100 grain Hornadys he said SWEEEET. The name stuck.

I had a beat up 870 that had been krylon painted OD green that rarely missed anything I pointed it at. I called it "Lucky".
I have a Winchester model 74, .22 LR that is an absolute one hole gun. I call it "Ace".

My 10/22 Ruger/Kidd I cal "gopher getter" which I hope will bloodied this year at the Fire Jamboree. If I can't do I'm sure Elkhunter or somebody will do it.
My .308 I call the "Widow Maker Special" because the red and black laminated stock that came from the stock maker was named "Black Widow". Hope to have a make over for the .308 but it'll stay the "Widow Maker Special". Hope to go kill PD's is a couple of years if the eyes hold up.

Ingwe, I like your 223 and the way it takes care of business. I am wondering how I get that mojo to rub off on my 22/250. I do not think reduced loads is the answer. The 22/250 is a recent purchase and it has only accounted for a few coyotes (one black one)this winter so it really has not earned a reputation yet. I am hopeful that some day it will be known as "Git r Done" ![[Linked Image]](http://i617.photobucket.com/albums/tt260/jackpine44/coyoterifle.jpg)

All of my family and close friends know that whatever hand gun for defense in my home or vehicle is known as "Baby". And they refer to it as that.
