I think Ruger (and others) do have an AI mag conversion, if you want? It boils down to if you want traditional, with a floor plate or detachable mags and more modularity? For AR-compatible cartridges, I don’t have much need for a traditional platform. You might prefer that. Some folks need short, threaded barrels, more magazine capacity and options, etc…..while worrying over aesthetics or how long they can load heavies and such becomes irrelevant for their intents….which are opposite to others. Your gun for your use, but they’re different platforms in those ways…..at least the ranch version.
