Tavor Sample
Tried the loaner Tavor at the OSA 3-gun match on 24 Aug. Nice shooter, ergonomics are great. The general concensus was the Mepro sight was good for tactical distances but the dot is way too big for longer distances. Maybe a sightless (less expensive) version would be more appealing to potential buyers, so they can picatinny mount the sight of their choosing. Quite alot of interest was generated for this rifle.

Hey Slavex,
Whats the 'drop in' fee for Abby...?
I'd love to do one over in Mission, but with the 'guest' fee up to $20 this year, and 'single round' only, I don't think I'd get many takers...
The range is 'open to the public' on weekends (for the $20 fee...), through to the end of Sept, so I might be able to get something set at the 10 Sept general meeting...

After the Montreal test shoot on Aug18-21, I sent the Tavor to Milcun range (Ontario) for the OSA 3-gun match (aug25-26).
I was supposed to give my impressions here, but Hungry was faster and his fantastic review sums up perfectly my impression of the Tavor.
So, please check this thread: http://www.canadiangunnutz.com/forum/showthread.php?t=177117
I would only like to add that the only major drawback that we found is the side-ejection which prevents the shooter to quickly change firing shoulder (well actually you can try it, if you don't care about receiving hot brass in the teeths !). However, since this issue mostly applies to mil/LE professionals and action shooting games enthusiasts (IPSC/PPC), it's of no real concern for casual plinking, target and varmint shootin'.
All the rest of the Tavor is superb engineering and milspec quality.
Bottom line, this non-restricted, 10rd semi-auto bullpup is this year's "must buy".
Of course, like other stated, my choice of optic would be a variable 1-4X scope, with illuminated reticule and integrated bullet drop.
Ok, now a video & some pics (...sorry for my low res. camera):
