Vintage AI rifle or modern AI rifle?

I do like the old school look but nervous about the old actions.
Zero reason to be nervous about any AI, regardless of model, the newer ones just have more features. The AE’s are fine. The Mk1 has a proprietary single stack 5 rd magazine. The Mk2 uses aics magazines. The mk 3 has aics mags and a AW bolt (3 position safety). The best deal by far is the AT though. Think of it as a AW with the addition of a quick-loc barrel change system, for equal or less money. 2014 and later AT’s have a small firing pin, which is better for small primer high pressure loads (6 or 6.5 CM using SRP brass for example).

AW’s have shot up in price lately.

Rifle Scopes What’s the plus of having a bigger tube?

Yes, it’s a six year old thread…and I may have read it before. WTF can remember these things! lololol

It amazes me how many people advocate that bigger tubes can pass more light as if the photons entering the objective just goes down the tube in parallel. As if they never looked at easily found diagrams like below. Between concave and convex lenses, the light is focused inward or diffused outward and has zero to do w tube diameter.

I’m a rifle tech moron but I know these diagrams are published on the web.

Bigger tubes can improve brightness and resolution, if you use the additional internal space for larger diameter lensing. It's just that generally what you find in larger diameter tubes is thicker tube wall and more void.

I’ve been tempted several times to put a gun rack in the truck and add cardboard cutouts of a shotty and a Barrett just to see reactions…
Yup I miss those days too. HS parking lot every pick had a two gun rack with a rifle and a shotty. Doors unlocked, key in switch. I don't remember one single incident of any trouble.

Today that's just asking to get broke into.

I don't want nobody knowin nothin bout what's in my pickup

until the king's men show up and auction off his house...
AFTER
the IRS freezes all his assets, seizes all this property, and then auctions off to pay his FED taxes...
Then the city moves in, and takes what's left and sells it.
No home, no car, better hope you have a disability so you can move into a state or Fed free home.
plan 2
you have a tent and moving to CA
plan 3
planning on 3 hots and a cot in a state prison
I’m thinking he’s not planning on going to prison.
