I inherited a Parker VHE 12 ga with 2 sets o barrels from my grandfather. I think it meets the definition of old school shotgun. My son didn't seem to mind when I gave it to him for graduation from college even though it wasn't gas operated, didn't have a plastic stock and barrels with interchangeable choke tubes.

I like to hunt with old school stuff myself. My go to rifle is one I looked for many years. It is a Mexican Mauser in 7mm Mauser that has been converted to a sporter. Compared to todays rifles, it is heavy, long, not chambered for the 6.5 Creedmoor, only holds 5 shots and doesn't shed water like a duck. I still like it because I know where the first shot is going and to me at least, it doesn't look bad. I'm pretty old school myself and that style suits me...
