Remington Accelerators...  .. Although some of you whipper snappers probably never got to shoot any.. I think I've still got a box of '06 Accelerators floating around here somewhere. They weren't very accurate in my rifle back then but on a good day they'd really ruin a ground hog's day.

I know a 'fad' that just never seems to want to stop.
Win 94 in 30-30. I swear there are more of those rifles out hunting and given to sons and daughters as their first hunting rifle then any other single combo in rifle / cartridge history (at least for Center fire)
Was in full swing when I came into this world and it seems it will still be going strong when I leave.
Compared to that even the ol' M98 mauser seems like a passing fad !!!
..pick..

I don't care if the saum's are just a fad, I love mine! I am slowly amassing enough brass to keep it fed for the rest of my days.

Percussion ignition system. It came, it went, and came back again. I still don't think it's an idea that will ever catch on...

What platform are you using it on? It seems like it would really be home on an AR or a slug gun, but not so great for a bolt gun.
I could be wrong, but it seems like it would make correcting misses a bit difficult at there is very little to reference off of in your sight picture.

OK, now I really KNOW I am a relic! I have that reticle in my Burris Posi Lock Scope atop my 416 Rigby. The Posi Lock Scopes have fallen from favor of late, and yet I remember one gunwriter touting that feature as "the next great advancement in hunting rifle scopes since lens coatings" I still love 'em (Except when I have to sight them in) and have them on all three of my remaining hunting rifles. Dad had a Bushnell Scope Cheif IV 3-9 with command post put on his Rem 760 30-06 back about 1965. He still claims it is the best reticule system ever invented. The scope is now mounted on my inexpensive Savage HMR. I had it out the other day messing around. The post will subtend a deer at anything over three hundred yards, and with the post retracted the cross hairs are so thin as to be invisible in any but the best light. With a decent duplex, it would be a hell of a nice scope.

I guess my house is the Land of Misfit Toys. I like German post hairs on my lower magnification scopes, I love Remington 600s, And my newest dust collector is chambered in .375 Winchester. I guess I'll have to wait till folks are throwing away their WSMs and RSUMs before I can pick them up for chump change. The 5MM Rem Mag I picked up several years ago was gotten at a steal and shoots now as good as it did 40 years ago when it was new. Yes I love when fads go out of style. Means bargain time. I keep my Z Cavaricci pants in moth balls because the early 90s will return!
A bowhunter at heart but a gun guy at soul. I'll take craftsmanship, wood and blue steel over plastic and composite any day.

I still have a pair of Trebark coveralls in one of my trunks of hunting clothes around here somewhere. Couldn't squeeze my big ass into them if I had to. Maybe I'll send them to a museum

Trebark is still the best actual hiding camo to use in hardwood forests. Makes a guy disappear pretty easily.
Funny how most trees have vertical trunks, but the only vertical camo was Trebark. Horizontal lines in a woods are giveaway every time.
