Tikka .243 - Angus
Mosin Nagant 91/30 - The Comrade

My mate calls his 30-06 - Lucifer.

Well I've got an old double barreled S/S exposed hammer 12gge shotgun I've named 'Sebastian', that I've had for over 40 years.

I've no idea how it came about, especially since it's not even Italian.

I've never bothered to name any others, but it just seems to suit the old shotty.

How's "Gungnir" for a Gunsite Scout?

That's one of the Viking "super" weapons right?

Like Thors Hammer?

[Bennybigbores]

My brothers lever 45/70 is named (HECTOR HECTOR THE LEAD INJECTOR). I like it damn good name for a 45/70 I thought

My friends call my Savage 308 BAT/S 'Darth Vader', presumably because it's big and black and a little bit over the top. I call my 22 'useless piece of crap' which is starting to stick.

Yeah I don't know why but the 22 is so inaccurate even at 50 yards when we can put rounds through the same hole with the 308.

Our PTA arrived for the Nitro Express and it's almost finished, just awaiting the registration from the firearms registry so it can be stamped into the rifle and then blued/assembled!

Call my Brno model 2 hells preacher.
Nah just the 22

That's the one. Odin's spear.

My Howa 223 Varmint is Frankie. Short for FrankenHOWA because it's been choped and changed and built out of different bits from different places. A real Frankenstein's gun.

[Fozzy]

I call my .223 - Tallulah and sometimes various other things when it annoys me.

The other 4 are referred to as calibres

[headspace]

Never named a civvie gun but just used to call my SLR "Baby" no idea why but probably because we slept together a lot...
