Not all my guns get names but my highly customized conceal/carry pistol is a Walther PPK named Wally. My Ruger 77/22 barreled for .22 Shorts only with a fiberglass stock got named the Mouse Gun although it's never shot a mouse but lots of squirrels, rabbits and vermin. I gave my first 7MM STW named Sudden Death to my son so my curent 7MM STW is Sudden Death II. By the way, yesterday it killed a deer at 690 yards and its death was sudden. | |||

Most of my rifles all have names: 270: Equal Opportunity Whoopin Stick 280: Showtime 30-06: The Old Reliable Meat Getter 7MM RM: This One's Gonna Hurt You 300 Wthby: Damn Dull Razor 338-06: They f**kin hate it 404J: Mr. Jeffery's Big Easy 30+ years experience tells me that perfection hit at .264. Others are adequate but anything before or after is wishful thinking. | |||

I named a couple long range rigs for a joke. One is a Rem/Lilja/Mcillan in .300 Win named "Deathwind".It was the most cornball thing I could come up with on short notice. The second is a 21 pound Stiller/McMillan/Bevan King .375 Cheytac named "Krakatoa". | |||

I'm like Bren7X64, I don't name thing that don't come when I call them!!! But, some people do. Back about '67 or '68, I bought my centerfire rifle. That rifle was named Killer by my family and friends. When asked why they said because when it barked things died close to me. | |||

Only one of mine - a custom 416Rem is often called "The Black Hammer". I think I named it that, but I'm not sure; it may have been one of my huntin buds that have seen it in action. Antlers Double Rifle Shooters Society Heym 450/400 3" | |||

I think I'll call my 7MM Mashburn "Lefty".  | |||

I agree with Bren. My hunting dogs have names; my wife has a name; my kids have a names, etc. My truck doesn't have a name, nor my hunting boots, nor my knives, nor my pack, nor my rifles. You see where I'm going. If it won't come when you call, lick you hands and wag its tail, or at least, ask for money, why name it. Aim for the exit hole | |||

Do my guns have names? Not that they have mentioned to me. | |||
|

My guns only have names if you consider things such as "the hammergun", "the three hundred single shot", "the seven millimeter", and "the paradox" names. . | |||

Sure, Rossi or 92, 405 or 95, 45-70 or 1886, Siamese Mauser, Python, Anaconda, S&W. Sendero. They all have names. Jim "Whensoever the General Government assumes undelegated powers, its acts are unauthoritative, void, and of no force." --Thomas Jefferson | |||

I have never been one for naming, or blaming, inanimate objects -- but my old 458 has pretty much been christened by past clients and writer friends with the name "Ole Ugly"  Anyone who claims the 30-06 is ineffective has either not tried one, or is unwittingly commenting on their own marksmanship Phil Shoemaker Alaska Master guide FAA Master pilot NRA Benefactor www.grizzlyskinsofalaska.com | |||

Not really though I do call my 338-378 Wby the boomer. It's obvious I think. Ken.... "The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, but that they know so much that isn't so. " - Ronald Reagan | |||

Have a old, trusty rifle named "Chester the Molester". Had it since I was 17, so about 33 years now. M70 push feed from the 70's. Started life as a .300 Win, then went to .375-338. Currently getting rebarreled to 338 Win. | |||

For the ultimate way to name a rifle I can only quote PWN.
Rusty We Band of Brothers! DRSS, NRA & SCI Life Member "I am rejoiced at my fate. Do not be uneasy about me, for I am with my friends." ----- David Crockett in his last letter (to his children), January 9th, 1836 "I will never forsake Texas and her cause.

I've got an Enfield M17, that EVERYTHING has been done to, including rebarrelled. It's now a .300 WinMag. "Her" name is "Luci." Oh, yeah, that's short for "Lucifer's Hammer." I fear NOTHING as I walk through ANY valley, anywhere, when she is with me. Have fun, Gene | |||

Why does anyone care, if people want to name their guns. Bill Cody called his needle gun that he killed so many Buffalo with, Lucrezia Borgia. What is wrong with a person naming a rifle and not being ashamed of doing so? If a person does not believe in doing something like that, good for them, but for those of us that do such things, it does not mean we are idiots. I mean, didn't Sir Samuel Baker refer to his two bore as "Baby"? Even the rocks don't last forever. | |||
