LOL. I love that pic.
 
Well ... hallelujah! Please pst me when you have them available! This is some seriously ###y news...

Now...I just have to get that Elcan...... (there's always something else) :)
 
I think this is Shazam's photo take a year or two ago - I overlapped a 11.5" AR over the TAVOR, both were from the same photo, using the trigger as the common center point of overlapping. As you can see - TAVOR has a pretty long LOP.

the LOP is proper for prone and kneeling, or other traditional rifle shooting position, such as typical service rifle competition. However, it will be too long for the more dynamic close-in type of shooting, IMHO.

As you can see, holding the TAVOR is like shooting the M16A2 with a magazine well hold, but with better balance..

YMMV

You know I want to like it, but I just cant get into it with the Tavor. The whole design just doesnt seem to do it. Im sure its a competent gun though. This is about the only bullpup I would want to buy.

Ya think so!?!?!?

I put it together just for this thread....wouldnt be caught with it in public
You put it together just for this thread? You spend way too much time and effort on this place, dude. But ya, it's a decent looking piece. Not overburdened with accessories. You sound disgusted in owning it, therefore I ask; why do you own it?

He just swapped uppers between two rifles. Takes 2 minutes.

What 'Sask said...

I yanked apart a nice Colt SP1 and slapped on a brand new DLASK 7.5 inch upper...

it DOES actually handle well....but its silly

walking through my house involves tripping over dogs and guns.....and the odd dead hooker
 
I love bull pup rifles. I like how they balance, and I like having a real length barrel in the short compact package.

I had the opportunity to shoot a Tavor last year. The owner (on this site) had an Elcan mounted on it and used the trick for the trigger (release one spring) to reduce the weight.

Off hand standing at 100 yards it was a joy to shoot. I love the balance. Easy to hold. Prone. It was fantastic. The rifle balances on the mag like a monopod. It makes shooting prone very easy and fun (get solid pull tabs and use the longer mags). I did some kneeling and it was good. I enjoyed shooting this rifle.

Ergonomics were excellent. Mag changes being the only thing that will be a bit slower. But even that looked like you could get it down very fast with practice. It's nice that the charging handle is on the left the way it should be. If the Germans could get it right back in 42 (prototype before the STG44) then why the heck have we had to live with the Russian right side for so long?

The bad. The trigger was long. It was so so. One of the common complaints of a bull pup. It felt a bit "squishy". But it was usable and worked just fine.

The so called "Tavor Kiss". You get black carbon on your cheek from the ejector port. No big deal. Consider it free camo painting :D

Accuracy. Well I was shooting off hand, and the ammo wasn't matched to the rifle. Also factory fodder. So about what I'd expect. We weren't bench rest shooting.

This time around I ordered one. I'm also happy that the reticle has been changed with the included sights. The new reticle is a lot like the one I love with my Eotech site. Hopefully I can retain the original. We'll see.

Anyways just my opinion on the Tavor from a limited shoot and for fun shooting.
