Do you name your guns?

[Skinny Shooter]

I know Boyd has some pet names for his guns.

Thought I would name my 308
"Mister Mojo",
next to seeing a youngun out hunting with a gun that just warms my heart.

Skinny,I would name that gun.(TOO DARN PRETTY TO SHOOT)

.Very nice Iron..........

 

[Skinny Shooter]

Thought about Ms. Mojo but that didn't seem right.

Boyd, have already got a scratch in that stock, the first one always hurts, and the second, and the...

I like-'ol make 'em come! How you been Boyd? Haven't heard from you in a while. Can't believe you let that stock get scratched Skinney!

 

[Skinny Shooter]

littletoes, I had set-up for deer on the side of a ridge just below the crest at the base of a tree. Snow was on the ground and with the rifle lying across my legs I decide to shift my position. For some reason the buttstock shifts a bit and moves in the snow. But the snow was hard.

There was a bloomin fieldstone just under the surface that did the deed...

Never, never, never do that but I did. Now if it had been a VS stock that gun would have just laughed...

Also shoot a BDL Varmint in 222, picked it up at an eeeeeville gunshow in Harrisburg two Decembers ago.
It's my American Express rifle, never leave home without it.

I name mine same method and as often as I name and rename my dog and boss (daily or more often, by my disposition and it's/his performance). Wanna hear some of them?

 

[bob kudile]

skinny, i call all my guns by model or cal except for one. i was hot for a hornet when ruger came out with the 77/22 hornet i was on three waiting lists. finaly got it, early model slim barrel,then the trouble started and i am still working on it. it is now a k-hornet. i cant post the names i have given it. maybe the pistols and shotguns are ok but the rifles are bad news. i dont understand why they are bought stripped and rebuilt with after market parts. buy a cooper and enjoy it right out of the box. bob

I don't have that close a relationship with any of my firearms to feel really comfortable calling them by their first name, let alone to name them like I would a child.

But S1's made that harder for me - I do find myself saying "I'm going out to shoot the Wolf today...". Now, when I start calling it "Wolfie", well then - I think I've will have gone too far!

I Don't normally name them, but I do have a Winchester Model 70 that is known by either "Maggie" or "The big long shiny gun" even though it is no longer the longest, or shiniest rifle I own.

It was the first rifle I bought for the express purpose of reaching out beyond 300 yards and making repeatable, one shot kills.

 

[Varmint Hunter]

Most of my guns are just "gun".

However, one of my earlier varmint rigs was named the "BLACK MAMBA". Every inch of this rifle is black and it has a nasty bite.
Later on I built a much snappier rig which was called "Ol' Sparky". Flames all over the stock and a few projecting from the muzzle when I launch bullets from her 22-243AI chamber.

 

[MachV]

Boomer(36#States Arms,50BMG) & Thumper(25# States Arms,MachV 375/50BMG)Just to name two but then there is Spanky(8twist 22-250), Squirt(223VT),Slugger(Win 12ga)& Buzz(Colt AR)
