Do you have names for your firearms? Come on I know you do! Some might consider it odd but I do. My 835 is Big Bertha, SA-20 is Mini Bertha. My Beretta which I mainly use for waterfowl is Sally. I could go on! :toothy9:
Only ever named 3 guns, ever.
Two dedicated turkey guns............
Geraldine: A BPS 10 gauge.
No Doubt: A Super X2 3 1/2" 12 gauge
And my bear rifle........
Whomper: A custom A-Bolt Stainless Stalker .375 Weatherby
No dedicated name for it, But I have called it a few bad names before.....
"Mule"for my old school 835
Sombuck kicks like a mule!

My 11-87 is known as "Smokin' Joe".
I named my 410 ga the Osceola hunter
I thought they were all named Betsy.
I refer to my Benelli SBE2 as Thumper
I have a Browning 300 WSM named Thunder that has killed triple digits of deer and hogs.
I have a Tikka 270 WSM that I have been using more each season. It's nickname is Lightning.
The Benelli is called that because it thumps their heads.
The Browning got its name because my Dad and cousin said they could always tell it was me by how loud it sounded and it was like a crack of thunder.
So now when we are together and I kill something, I send my cousin a text saying "I let the Thunder roll"
The Tikka is such a flat shooting rifle that it is like a bolt of lightning hitting an animal. I've mostly shot hogs with it, so that means head shots for the most part and they are down at the recoil.
I have no imagination. I have "The single shot", "the Winchester" and an 835 that I have called "The slobber knocker" on occasion.

Beat me to it
A few years ago here on OG there was a guy that actually made barrel decals that could be put on your guns. You could custom-order the decals with whatever name you wanted. I don't have a clue if he is still around or not but I put three of his decals on my turkey guns. One is the "Gobble Buster", one is the "Snood Stacker", and one is the "Gobbler Clobbler". The decals the guy made were really nice, dirt cheap, and have held up nicely on my guns.
Yeah, I know,...I am a bit "anal" about this turkey huntin' stuff... :D :angel9:
all of mine have been named smoke poles
All my guns are named : KILLER and if i miss you don't really want to know the name of it that day ...
My son-in-law, my brother and I were heading about 75 miles from home to fall hunt and camp. About half way he realized he had forgotten his shotgun. From there on he calls the gun Lucille stealing a line from Kenny Rogers.
Have a NEF 10 gauge single shot. Replaced the weighted stock with a hollow pistol grip. I call it Freddy after Freddy Krueger because it's a nightmare on both ends.
I'm thinking of naming mine "Missy", cause of all the misses. :funnyturkey:
My go-to gun is a Super Black Eagle Steady Grip. I call it "The Hammer".
Super Black Eagle named black hawk down
Walk out song (coming out of the case) AC/DC thunderstruck
LOL, but that was like 20 years ago. What a loser :goofball:
My daughter and I call the Franchi Affinity 3's "Turkey slayer and Turkey slayer jr."
my 21" 870 12ga has been referred to as 'the blaster' for many years. my critter rifle is referred to as 'AT&T'.
My 1300 NWTF is called pretty gun my 870 3.5 black death
Winchester Model 12, I have always called "Willie" I also have a Mossberg 835 that may think her name is OH Sh*$, because that's what I say every time I shoot 3.5 load out of her. lolll
The gobbler cleaver
Bad Medicine
The blender
Of course you have to name them....how else can you carry on a conversation with them if you don't name them?????
I must be pretty boring or don't have much of an imagination. :-[ I just call them what model or caliber they are....The 870, The 20 / The Wife's 20, The 500, etc.
named my benelli super black eagle 3... expensive
Nope, never named any of them.
Named one, an old Winchester 1400 that was my dads. Called her ole' Hungry.

All the guns I own I've never named one. Guess I have not used one particular gun solely enough to name it.
My sx2 is named AMY.....it was its birth name....why? Cause it's in its serial number.
