Chief Rick Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Is anyone familiar with this rifle? Pros/cons, firsthand experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel-eye Steve SASS #40674 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 I have one and really enjoy it. While it's a little on the heavy side it balances well. I would, however recommend replacing the stock trigger with one of the aftermarket versions. There are two versions of the Tavor, the SAR which you pictured and the X95 which basically has a different forearm and more of an AR style magazine release.

Dantankerous Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Acts and feels like an SBR without the tax stamp. Guys I know that use them love them. Factory trigger needs help though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Home Range Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 I have one. Its fun. The trigger change is money well spent. (unless you get the X95 which is better) I converted mine to left hand operation. My only trouble right now is overgassing when I run my suppressor.

Steel-eye Steve SASS #40674 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 I have the SAR version with full top rail as in the OP photo. There is a set of back-up iron sights in the rail. For sights, I'm running an EOTech 512 with an EOTech 3x magnifier. I replaced the stock trigger with geissele trigger pack. For me, my Tavor is a 1.5-2 MOA gun and it has worked well for me in the couple of 3gun matches I have used it in. If you are looking for a gun to shoot small groups from a bench, the Tavor, along with many of the currently available bullpups, is not your best choice, but its an excellent "run and gun" platform.

Chief Rick Posted August 4, 2016 Author Share Posted August 4, 2016 I've recently picked up a Meprolight M21 with bulls-eye reticle. Looking at online dealers/brokers, it appears the SAR is going for pretty close to MSRP when it can be found. Keesler AFB BX has the 18" barrel FD18 for a little less than MSRP. The Geissele trigger seems to be most recommended and is readily available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Douglas Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I think they are very cool and well designed, I just don't like the feel of a bullpup. Shorter guns just aren't comfortable for me. Even my 73 is a full length rifle and not one of the shorter versions. But if it feels good on your shoulder and you're looking for a new toy, I don't think you will be unhappy.
