Is the T97 more precise than the Tavor?

[quorum]

This thread is only for those who have a "reasonable" amount of range experience with both guns: the T97 and Tavor.

I've noticed there are some threads on the internets that say the T97 is more accurate, but a poll is a better judge of averages in the imperfect world of the internets.

However, every semi-professional review I've seen of the Tavor shows it is a 1.5-2 MOA gun (eg

Let the crowd speak!

They are both 2-3 moa battle rifles, 1 to 2 moa may be possible to achieve but not reliably.

 

[Brian46]

even if the T97 was more accurate it has reliability and quality issues. I wasn't happy with eirther or I would have one/both

Stay tuned for my Tavor ammo review this coming friday...

I've got both.
They're roughly the same with a slight edge to the t97.

Is the t97 more presice? No. Not by a long shot. Those iron sights are not capable of better precision than the iron sights available on the tavor.

I do believe the t97 may be more accurate.

I found my original Tavor to have the irons lined up beautifully with the Mepro and shot quite well.
My next Tavor came as a flat top, optic ready.

I think that finding the T97 as only an iron sight, maybe I put a little more effort into it.
Seeing how I changed out my Tavor for a rail, perhaps I am taking the easy way out by placing an optic on it.
I might be a bit strange that I find them both more capable than I am.

I wonder how many of the people that have voted have actually owned both.

i have owned both

Type 97 is wayyy more accurate and not a piece of #### mattel toy

I didn't vote because I have never handled a Tavor (or seen one in person). I would love to be able to take a Tavor for a spin. It's one of my Dream rifles. With my T97, I'm able to hit an area of about 1' x 1' at 100 yards with the iron sights. As lawn gnome mentioned its likely more capable than I am.

 

[TRaTSeRiF]

I found my T97 to be very accurate (for the gun type) even with relatively inferior optics mounted 2-2.5MOA with Norinco ammo.

 

[Kevin M.]

Both are equally accurate in my experience...

 

[Tommycanada]

shot both extensively... although I don't like the iron sights on the T97, if the T97 and tavor had equally good sights, id say they are about equal in accuracy.

The majority of T97 accuracy reports on here are at 25m.....I'd love to see a decent review using decent ammo at a decent distance....

 

[agilent_one]

I'm not seeing a lot of data here, just a lot of noise.

 

[canadiantbone]

Haven't gotten enough time behind both to tell . Yes I own both .

Lol, that's because neither one makes groups that are even worth taking pictures of !

You've obviously never owned both, I have. And I sold the T97 after 6 weeks. Don't be a fanboy

^^^ bingo accuracy reports at anything smaller than 100 yards is absurd.
