Got my first AICS in the early 2000’s from Tac Pro in Texas. I think they were the only importer/distributer at the time.

If there’s one thing for certain when it comes to AI rifles, they don’t ever get any cheaper.
Ummm, negative. AXMC just saw a massive price drop. AX can be had for a fraction of the original cost. The AW's you could barely even sell when the AXMC first hit the market (unless it was a 2.0 folder) without taking a bath on them.
Something's only worth what the market will bear. Your statement is entirely true if you replace the acronym "AI" with "AW" or "AWM" (or even "AS" - if anyone could actually find one of those to purchase)!
The AW game is definitely the pay to play type. And if your like me, once you pay, she don’t play. Having something so rare and virtually new, makes using them not practical.
Why would I shoot my AW when I could just pick up a gap or crescent and not feel the least bit guilty about using it as intended. If I get some finish damage on a gap from a prs match, don’t care in the least. If that happened to my AI, it would break my heart. There’s no replacing the AW. If I sold it, I’d hate myself and regret it for the rest of my life. I knew going in it wasn’t a rifle to shoot, take to matches, or punch paper with. And I’m fine having a trailer Queen. It’s not my first, or my last, just my favorite.
I would trade every rifle I own and 1 scope for an AWSM 2.0 in .300 Winchester Magnum.
i have 2 of the early imports one is the cfi edition and the other is the SM in LM. both have the aluim transit cases. with all the acc including the scope on the cfi. Both are marked imported by Gunsite back in 95. Curious as to their value and yes i have shot both but less than 300 rnds. and they look new. Stan
Exactly. I want one but I'm not paying that kind of money for one, I will just go with a pre 14 AX if one of those pop up in 300 win mag at a decent price. I know I'm one of the few but I really don't want the quick change feature on the AI.

My cousin just picked up this .300WM AI rifle for $2500, round count 200. Unfortunately, no case to go with it. So there are few out there if this is the rifle you are looking for.
From these pics it looks like a pre ’14 AX but I am no expert on AI rifles. Have not seen it or shot it yet but looking forward to it on some future range trip. Would not mind owning one at some point, not likely though. View attachment 7088595View attachment 7088596View attachment 7088597View attachment 7088598View attachment 7088599
to find one in the next couple years even if it's not that cheap.
