To each his own I say.Variety is the spice if life.As long as you ain't treading on anyone else,I say it's all good.

i named my remington 700P "Steve" for some reason. the rest are referred to by caliber or manufacturer. for example, my mossberg 500 is my "mossy". my 6.5 grendel is my "grendel". my .17 hmr is my "17"

I don't get that attached. About every gun I own is for sale!
Some are just worth more than others?

I call my 338-378 Weatherby the 338 Tinkeree. Cause I'm always tinkering with it.

 

[Hatrick]

The only one I named is my fathers FN 270. Whenever I am out with it I'm with "Dad".

I think it would be interesting to see how we got our first gun.

Given a youth, captivated by the exploits of Davy Crockett's "Betsy", and Hawkeyes's "Killdeer", I have thought about naming my rifles but never took up the practice. I find it more practical and easier to communicate to others simply naming them by caliber, make(or action). The closest I came was calling "duplicate" Remington 700 Miksoecs/308 rifles for factory class competition, Milspec 1 and Milspec 2.

My daughter and I were talking about one of my rifles this weekend, and she was confusing it with another one I own. I realized that I was always referring to them by one of the following
1. Manufacturer
2. Caliber
3. Cartridge

I thought I need to give them some real names.

How many of you give pet names to your rifles? Let's hear about "old Bertha" or whatever pet names you have!

All my guns got stripper names.

I don't name them all. But a couple:

Badjuju (7mm Rem Mag built for LR)
Boom Diggity (Seekins 6MM Creed Havak Pro Hunter)

My new custom build 6.5 PRC will be ready in a couple months. I'm searching for a name still.

I named my 700P 300 RUM after the "Callahan Full-bore Auto-lock" used by Jayne Cobb in an episode of Firefly. Vera.
