ELMER FUDD! IT was a within 1/8th of an inch of illegal sawed off double barrel 12 guage with a pistol grip that was held together by duct tape! I don't even recall who made the gun. Elmer actually belonged to a buddy of mine. To fill you all in a little, Elmer spent much his life rattling around in a toolbox on a D4 Cat in bear country in Alaska. From the stories I heard, the thing killed almost as many critters as a North Dakota winter... toward the end there Elmer posed as much danger to the shooter as he did the target, so he found an easy retirement above a doorway with the firing pins welded up...and every time somebody new see's him, the question is posed, "What the hell is that red-necked contraption...?" Thus the legend lives on!

Not really, although I have referred to my turkey gun as the "tominator" before.

only named one gun in my collection, a chrome finish winchester defender 12ga.I had a game warden jump back when he spotted the gun in my truck one day.After that it was dubbed " THE INTIMIDATOR"

I take it none of you guys ever served. It was MANDITORY to name your service weapon. As for naming now, yes, I do. I've got a 300 Win. Mag. that I call "Bell" you know the old comer. "Reach out, Reach out and touch someone!"

I know it's cliche, but the .35 Whelen is "Ol' Deathwind". Not original, but very fitting.

I honestly never really thought about that one. I have a trusty shotgun that I have done everything with. I shoot clays(skeet and trap) bird hunt, and I can put slugs through it. I have dropped that thing in the muskeg and bogs of Alaska and it still works great. I will have to think of a name when I have had more sleep.

I call my 30-30 "whitey" cause it's the weirdest pastel brown color i've ever seen on a gun. And my dad calls all his guns "savage", "killer", "dead deer", ect. (I don't know if it's just spurr of the moment names, or permanent ones)

You mean besides "ol reliable"?

I have a machatte that a friend named "old painless"

I named my .300 Weatherby, Meat Grinder.

My .416 has been called SOB several times by people who I should not have let shoot it if that counts.

Davy Crockett named his smoke pole "Old Betsy" he got 125 bears with it, so it must be a good name. After seeing it on display at the Alamo in San Antonio my youngest decited to name his new single shot 22ca. bolt action Cricket rifle "Old Betsy". He's got a couple of squirls so far... but still no bear.

I have a custom made 30.06 that I have named Mother Bell cause it reaches out and touches someone.

I have a 10 gauge I call " Big Bruser", because when I was young it left a bruse on my shoulder. I saw on an episode of Danial Boone that he called his flint lock "Tit Licker"!

I don't. They are all trusted friends to me, though.

I used to. The last few have not been named. I do have: Helen, Chester, B.B., Excalibur, Wilby, Tracy, Maxine, Thunder, and Shep.

I had a small carry pistol in Atlanta named Sting, from the Elven short sword.

I have a scoped Remington .30-06 named"the Terminatrix".

I have a .338 Mag built on a 1909 Mauser action, I call it "Thunder Speaker."

Hunted since I was 6yrs. old. Enjoyed hunting most of the western states. Had a Match Grade Arms rifle made a few years ago in 300 Weatherby. Only rifle I use now. It has earned its name: Thumper. I have to salt the bullet before I shoot so the meat doesn't spoil before I get to it!!

I have a 12 ga. 870 supermag that I call Boss Hawg. It is black w/ a synthetic stock and a 28" barrel. I use it for everything from hunting to pest control and scaring away bad guys.

My 12 gauge is named H.O.S (Harvester of Sorrows)

They have to tell me their name before they get one.

My benelli 12ga. is named BOOMER... (all caps only)

O’ I forgot,

25-06.. Quarter Pounder !

6.5x55 Sweed!

22-250 Zippo!

30-06 03-A3.. Old Faithfull! Never has let me down

No never really thought about it but I will start thinking about it.

Unbelievable!All the guns I owned were already named.

Only one. I own a j.c Higgins model 60 auto loader 12 gauge. That I received from my grandpa. Ever since then, my friends and I have always called it "Granpa". It is my favorite out of the bunch and I shoot it often.
