Yep........Call me old fashioned but I am uncomfortable owning a rifle that has a man's name.

I never 'named' any of them. I have quite a few. I did 'name' my favorire carry pistol 'equalizer'. It's a 45ACP Kimber Crimson Carry Ultra.
My hunting comrades call the 338 Savage 111LRH I have 'howitzer'. I just call it heavy.

My .308 is named "John" cuz it's a one holer. My .7mm-08 is called "the death ray."

The only rifle I have with a name is my Savage 99 in .308. My hunting buddys call it "the freezer door handle." It has this reputation, every time it fires a round in the field, the freezer gets filled.

"Betty Lou", the 25-06 rem 700, got her name from a popular Yuper's song "The Second Week of Deer Camp"...because "She's the one!"
Her brother's include a SAV 110 named "Dougy" because he first wore a Douglas 25-06 bbl....
Then came along "Shilo" a Shilen barreled 110 LA in .260 Rem....
Shilo has a set of twin brothers named "Big Steve" and "Shaw"...Big Steve wears a Steven's 200 frame and currently wears a .260 E.R. Shaw.....
"Shaw" is a twin because of identical barrels but he is a real 110 savage, so the doctor says they are not truly identical twins......
Then came along "Little Stevey" he is also a member of the 200 club but is a little "skitsofrenic" because he changes from 30-06 to .243 and 25-06 on a regular basis....Last I looked he switched bolts and barrels and is now a .221!
Yep, a real Fireball.....
The all like to shoot because their old uncle "The 6mm" was a McGowen barreled Canadian Ross that started out life as Canadian military rifle in .303 British......The McGowen 6mm-30-40 Krag wildcat has a lot of stories to tell but was a pretty good shooter in its day.....I gave "The 6mm" to my youngest son and I am sure it will have more stories to come...
