a name for your gun

RE: a name for your gun
I use an old side by side 12 ga. for birds, made by Montgomery Wards that was bought by my dad in the 60's. I call it "bird dog". This gun throws an awesome pattern and has killed more pheasants than all my other guns combined. When I was about 10 years old I was hunting with it and lost the forearm in some thick briars and never found it. That was more than 35 years ago. I looked everywhere and could not find a replacement forearm so I made one for it. It killed my first gobbler in '96 and numerous ducks, geese, pheasants and quail. I bought a Mossberg for turkeys but whenever I hunt other birds its the gun I pick up first. It is a bird "dog"!

No, I can't say that I have.
I refer to my guns either by their Make, Model or caliber. I.e. the "22-250", the "10/22", the "243", the "Super Redhawk", etc... Naming guns is a little weird, IMO.

I call my rifle "my rifle". I call my shotgun "my shotgun". Not terribly creative, I know, but, unlike some of you guys, it seems, I don't use the word "love" in reference to my guns. I'm with you, driftrider, naming guns is a bit weird. "To each his own", though.
