Where are the facts that the T97 is an under performer? What we have here are assumptions. The PS90 is the biggest novelty of them. Ammo is scarce and magazines (from what I know) are as well. Its a niche calibre in this country.

Tavor is superior? Maybe, but how? Just stating its superior is a cop out. I paid $950 for my T97 all in new. Tavor new would cost me 3K. If I bought it used, maybe $2500. Still almost or more than 3x the price. For 99% of what we use these guns for here in Canada I believe the T97 will do everything the Tavor does and with a (reportedly) better trigger. Out of the list you gave it really comes down to the Tavor, FS200 and T97 (calibre similarity) I personally like how much more slim the T97 is in comparison to the Tavor/FS200.

And now you call it a poser? Jeez I really don't know what to say to that. Let me ask you this, which rifle was created first, the T97 or the Tavor/FS200? With that in mind, how can you call it a poser? Bad choice of words IMO.

Able to mount optics without looking so freaking ridiculous is one point for the tavor.
Also tavor being left hand shooting friendly is also a big plus for the tavor.

Let's be honest here, if tavor cost around the same as T97, how many people will buy the tavor and how many people will buy the T97?
 
If you like the T97, buy it. If you like the Tavor buy the Tavor. If you like both buy both. Simply is that.
JUST BUY WHATEVER YOU LIKE.

You think? Don't forget: the T97 will be Wendy's new poster rifle. :D

Ah yes, good old Wendy. Here we have a non restricted bullpup black rifle that's shorter than a 16" barrelled AR15, shoots loop hole 15 round mags and is coming into the country not by the thousands at a time but tens of thousands at a time. I heard from a very very reliable source that the Canada Ammo shipment is around 30,000 rifles. Thats a whole lotta thorn in Wendy's side.

If what you are saying is half true, CanadaAmmo could have a presale list of 5000 97NRR, fascinating... JP.

That kinda quantity may explain the lower price and later delivery date to fill the order ;)
Plus CanAm doesn't gouge based on a new non restricted bullpup coming into the market.

CanAm is also a distributor not just a retailer. I'd give my money to CanAm before I'd ever give it to North Sylva origin firearms.
 
Hmmmmmm look who's selling there T97 already after doing a long T97 reveiw and comparison to the Tavor. And keeping his Tavor if I might add.

Guess the novelty wore off pretty quick.

To each his own,

I own both, Tavor and a T97.

Took the T97 to our local range last night for a extensive shoot.

My T97 is a keeper.

We have the

Tavor
PS90
FS2000
T97
RFB
Tangfolio Apeal

It's already been stated by many the Tavor is a superior bullpup compared to the T97. The FS2000 and PS90 are excellent high quality bullpups that many can't afford to buy or to shoot and are not readily available like the Tavor. The RFB is in a class all of its own cause it comes in man sized caliber. The Tangfolio is a 22LR and isn't fair to compare.

The T97 has lots of cons with the only pros being cheap and shoots inexpensive ammo. It's a novelty cause its intended for a lower end market all of its own. Kinda like wanting a Corvette but buying a Fiero cause its what you can afford but it lacks the performance of the real deal.

Novelty sure but I'm starting to think of it as a poser.

Its TANFOglio not TANGFOlio. Just saying.

When i recieve the call to tell my rifles are available, i will take them because, they are, price wise an entry level rifle, time will tell if they are a super deal or just worth what was paid for them, the price being sub 1000.00, they will always sell easy if they dont fit the bill... JP.
