I LIKE!!!.....I WANT!!!

Meh.... the Tavor really isn't that cool.

 

[RETOKSQUID]

Ill wait for the Tavor 27ppr in the 40 watt range.

I like the shortness of the tavor but that's about it. Why do they use such penciled barrels? And the price is way too high. If it weren't I would probably get one just to have. As it is, just can't do it.

Is the trigger going to suck as bad as the 5.56 options?
Also, the butt loaded weight is weird. And mags changes are awkward.

I've shot them and they aren't for me, even though I really wanted one.

 

[Perplexed]

I had a 5.56 Tavor. I really wanted to like it, but the ergonomics were too odd for my taste. As mentioned, mag changes were awkward, and the manual of arms was just too different so the rifle went on to a new owner.
