Unless they make a lefty-friendly variant some day, I'll pass.

Too bad the FS2000 rifles haven't been dropping like a stone in the wake of Type 97 imports. They certainly SHOULD be, and the FS2000 is a much better option for us sinister folk.

Someday I'd like to get a Tavor or FS2000

I've got one, and while the round count is fairly limited so far at around 500 rounds, the rifle has fired without a bauble, the sights, while a bit crude compared to AR-15 style aperture sights, work well enough for a military semi out to 300 or so yards before the short sight radius starts becoming a real issue for me.

Trigger is acceptable for an infantry rifle, mushy take up, but breaks repeatably and crisply enough.

The Tavor has a few slight ergonomic advantages that give it the edge in speed of manipulating the rifles controls, but not a massive difference in time, fractions of a second here and there provided you know your rifle well. I will say the mag release is in a dumb spot on the T97, but with a few dozen practice mag changes, you can do it in a similar time to a rock and lock style system.

I own both rifles, and honestly, I prefer the T-97 to the Tavor, one of the big contributing factors is that the T-97 is a really nice gun to shoot, and the Tavor is a bit of a #### and farts hot gas in your eyeball every time you squeeze the trigger, but other than that, the price is right, quality of build is surprisingly great considering the end user price, and it just has a lot less fat and bulk on it than the Tavor.

T97 all the way. Great little rifle.
