Well I am looking to get a bullpup rifle. The ones that I am looking at are the Tavor and the FN-FS2000. I was hoping anyone that own one could reply about them. thanks
 
I have a tavor and love it. The fs2000 is difficult to find and expensive. I wanted one over the tavor but could not find one. Very happy with my purchase and would do it again

The FS2000 is more accurate, and has a better trigger - but it will run you closer to $4k by the time you replace it/source one with a NR barrel (otherwise it's range-only use). Ergonomics, weight and balance are about the same for both. The Tavor has some additional mounting options with the side rail (unless you go with the FS2000 CQB model, but that adds unnecessary weight). The biggest drawback with the FS2000 is the lack of magazine compatibility. You're limited to steel or aluminum magazines only (but it still accepts the 10-round LAR-15s).
 
The biggest draw back for me for the FS2000 would be the choice and ease of availability of ammo, or well, the lack of thereof.

If memory serves me well the cost is around $1400 for a case of 2,000 rounds, when you can get them, so better stock up if you do end up going with it!
 
You are thinking PS90. It is in the 5.7x28 and is so expensive/ difficult to get. The fs2000 is a 223. If money is no issue I would definitely go with the Fnh and would explore the idea orange ps90.


What will you be using it for?

I have a Tavor and I love it. The trigger is mushy true, and after a few hundred rounds down the pipe it seems to smooth out a bit, or you just get used to it.

It is also a crowd-pleaser at the range. People see a Tavor, and they all start milling around, asking to hold it, maybe swap a few mags of ammo for thier guns, or just take a pic of it. A lot of good conversations have started because people saw it, and were intrigued.

Not the most accurate of rifles, but it was never designed to be a DMR, just a regular, run of the mill battle rifle that will take a beating and still put lead down range. And that it does in spades.

The $3000ish stings, but Non-Res, .223/5.56, 10 rd mag, and the sheer "Sweet god! I own a futhermucking Tavor!" made it my bullpup and first black rifle of choice.
 
After owning many, many "black rifles", the Tavor is the only one that gives me that "wow, i actually own this"!! feeling,,,.....
