Been thinking for a while about a name for my new 264 lbc / 6.5 grendel, and have been through many that just did not fit, until I looked up famous rats....why rats? because my lower is made by RAT Worx (research and testing) from my childhood town I grew up in. so what is the name I chose, it is Splinter, from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. So what have you named your rifles? Attachments:

No, never felt the urge. Have owned 60+? over the past 55 years, and I don't recall ever giving one a name. I do have a friend that named some of his. One was a Browning A-bolt 7 mm Rem Mag that he called JASON, and another A-bolt 12 gauge that he called LOG SPLITTER. |

I call them all Dollars. That's what they are, specially the ones coming fast out the muzzle like the 338 lapua.

come on 1shot, you can not just have one rifle, or name all your rifles the same thing. Can not believe that I am the only one who names their rifles.

There's a customer of mine that has named his black Betty the black widow. She's hateful to song dogs. And rightfully so.

I don't name any rifles, or other firearms for that matter. Even my service rifle never had a name for it back in the day. I know other guys did. ....but occasionally I swear in silence to the targets. It seems to work sometimes! LOL!! |

I kind of think naming my rifle is silly but I have justified it to myself since it's likely to be my one & only "real" rifle.
It will be Dory when I finish it, named for the Greek hoplite spear.

Due to the fact that my "plastic" parts and optics (FAB Defense and Meprolite) are Israeli-made, I decided to name my AR "Ziva", after the ex-Moussad agent in the TV show NCIS. They're both sleek, sexy, and dangerously-accurate! |

I have 2 30-06 rifles my oldest I call her old faithfull and my newest is Betsy. I have 2 new AR I'm in process of finishing after I start shooting them I will give them names. A couple I'm kicking around is Henrietta and Elvira, Mildred.
