Lol i'm almost at the same stage of the game. I'm about 1400 in to the rifle, about 1200 to go on paying it off. then i'm going to be throwing a nice scope on it, a sling, a few extra magazines. I'm estimating my finished RFB set to be around 3800-4000
Anyone hunt with a Tavor?

I hunt coyotes with my Gen 1. Best I can do for accuracy is 4 or 5 MOA. I think reloading might be the way to go to squeeze better accuracy out of it. I can't find a support setup that really improves accuracy. I've tried shooting off the mag, pistol grip, bipod, sandbags. Nothing really makes a big differance. Oh well.
Accuracy reports like these make me lean towards getting something with more reputed accuracy but with a folding stock for easier transport ... Aka my old Swiss Arms ... or an NR ACR or SL8. I wasn't a big fan of the XCR.
I reload. I'd be pretty surprised if 69gr SMKs don't perform well.
I know reloaded ammo can't be sold on the Equipment Exchange but if someone in the Leduc/Edmonton area has a load worked up for their Tavor and can sell me some please PM me. If it works out it might be the push I need to start reloading.
I'll rock the boat here and say that a Tavor is among the ugliest firearms ever made. There, I said it.
I don't understand what this firearm offers that you can't do better for less. It's a bullpup? Is that it? It's NR? So is a Benelli MR1.
IMO, for $3,000+ you can buy an infinitely better firearm than a Tavor.
Why do people buy this thing???
People are paying more money to have a less effective ugly firearm. WTF? That's like wanting to marry a woman who is ugly, and mean, and not supportive, who you have nothing in common with.
I just don't get it.

Have you shouldered one? Have you shot one?
If you base all your firearms purchases off of purely looks, then your colection could be called an ugly one!

It is important to note you are not on the tavor accuracy thread. Go read it before you b!tc# about something you have never held, shot, or even researched.
There is no cure for ignorance.

Held, yes. Owned and fired, no.
It's not about looks, but looks are certainly a factor that can not be overlooked.
I'm not even saying that looks are the be-all-and-end-all; if there were a rifle that were the right price, and felt great, and functioned great, and shot great, but looked terrible, you'd have an argument to buy one.
But here we have a rifle that costs more than practically everything else, and shoots worse than everything else, and looks worse than everything else.
That's what I mean...I just don't get it.

Opinions are like A$$ holes. Every one has one, some stink worse than others, and some are backwards!

Okay, then tell me with your opinion why a Tavor is worth $3000+ compared to anything else on the market?
I have no horse in this race, I am just looking at it objectively.
What can this firearm do better than anything else that costs less, shoots better, and looks better?
Zippo. It costs more, and looks worse, and shoots worse, than anything else you can buy. We even have owners of it above saying as much.

If you want to have a true debate leave the looks out of it. So long as you keep shoving "but its ugly" in here you are not going to here anything anyone with experiance with one has to say about it.
It is not really pretty, but one thing it has going for it is that it is comfortable, one of the most comfortable firearms I have ever held, I could not let it go once picked up, so I took it home, cost me too but its only money
I don't own one due to price, but for the length, weight and ergonomics, I'd do it. Having shot them a little I can say it'd more than suit my hunting style, AKA pushing bush, where the shorter and lighter the gun, the better it is, and where shots are seldom outside 200 yards. Since the 223 is too small for decent deer in my opinion, I would be more on board for a 7.62x39 with 154gr projectiles, though I'd still want to limit my shot distances.
End of day, tavors are great guns. Very nice to shoot, so as long as the caliber suits the game, go for it.

Google: Kel-Tec RFB
Its another bullpup in .308 win the Canadian Version has 18.5" barrel its non-restricted
I will agree that the price is pretty crazy, but all of the newer generation military style firearms out there (other than ARs) are 2000$ or more. I'm constantly buying and selling guns so for me the price isn't the end of the world; if I don't like it, I'll sell it.
My top 3 reasons for buying it over a "conventional" rifle:
1) It is extremely short and non-restricted, which means it will take up much less space on my wheeler or in my trunk.
2) The balance means that it points much better and you don't fatigue as quickly for standing / kneeling shots that I would likely take while I walk around hunting.
3) The body is plastic, which means that I don't have to worry about scratched or chipped paint
