I don't think it's *muzzle* blast that's the problem; it is that the chamber is right next to your cheek bone.
I haven't shot a big-bore Tavor, but I did shoot the Kel-Tec KSG bullpup shotgun and hated it for that reason.
I would love to try a 9mm Tavor or even a 223, but the 308 might be too much for me.
Will have to see how some long term reliability and accuracy reviews work out on the .308 MDR, but either the MDR or Tavor 7 will be in my hands once they're both available here!
Tavor 7 ad I found on youtube.

dont know if want
you know 308 is just too heavy to carry in a battle rifle load out compared to 5.56, 1/3 the ammo. if a 4 moa 7.62 bullpup really does it for you then ehhh
My bet is on the MDR which is caliber swappable between 300 blk, .223 wylde and .308 at the moment. It might actually make it to the Canadian market before the Tavor 7, well I at least I am hoping. Still I would love to get my hands on the M17, RFB, MDR and Tavor 7 to really do a .308 comparison.
