First double arrived from JJ today. .500 NE that a fine young man in Alaska was "Willing" to part with. I can't wait to shoot her...but need to name her too.

She is exactly that! I tend to hunt hard and while I absolutely love case hardening and engraving and gold metal work, I love the rounded body and bolsters on this Big Momma.

You shouldn't name a weapon until it has drawn blood and proven itself. Its bad luck if you do.

Nala, (East African origin)
Meaning: Successful / Beloved
Yes, Lion King made it famous — but it’s a real name and fits the safari spirit perfectly.
I asked ChatGPT, this was the suggestion.

No man, You cannot call a double rifle `Helga` ! We live in Germany & Helga is a 1920s - 1950s name, old school & outdated. Diana, the Godess of Hunting, now that would be a name!
