Its NR, my issue is store here wont sell without my info which to me us a BackDoor registry
But only a 223 over a 308
^^This. However, if its a .308 you want it's a no brainer. But if your asking what the better rifle is, Tavor. It's a no contest.
Can't comment on the RFB, never owned one and never plan to. .308 is an expensive and pointless calibre for plinking a round the range and back 40. What I can say is that the Tavor is all it was cracked up to be and then some. I'm very satisfied with this gun.
To me, the question really comes down to calibre. Neither are offered in anything but one calibre so if you want .308 get the RFB. If you want .223 get the Tavor

I have a RFB,short 308 hunting rifle,accurate enough to bring down deer at 200 yards,once I set the gas system it has run flawlessly,never shot a tavor so won't bash what I don't know,not sure if the guys bashing the rfb have actually shot one.

Tavor hands down.
room mate has a RFB, i'm not going to say it junk... but it has some major issues that require a lot of tweaking to get it running right, and will require wasting a lot of ammo to fix. It can take 40 rounds to set the gas system properly so that 1) it cycles properly and 2) it doesn't kick like a mule and even damage itself.
you have to do that for every different load/bullet type you run through it.

I had the RFB at the range the other day setting it up for hunting, Factory 180gr Nosler partitions after the scope was dialed in, gas system set, 100yds. It does take a little getting use to with setting up the gas system, but I took my time and dialed in the scope while doing the gas adjustments on my brand new RFB while following my usual barrel break in that I always do (used 10rnds total)
I can't even get close to that accuracy from the tavor even using match ammo.

Doubt me? Count the screws on an RFB. Then count the screws on a Tavor.

Everyone will say Tavor because the RFB isn't battle proven and when you are at the range you need to be a ninja with battle rifles only. The only issue I have heard from the RFB is the finicky gas setting but after you get that figured out should be good. I guess the real question is do you want .223 or .308? Honestly for reliability I would go Tavor but the .308 bullpup is pretty slick, and I plan on getting one soon.
I got nea ar15 223 so yea 308 lol

I disagree, for anyone who hunts an RFB is a far better choice.
If you knew you wanted a .308 why did you even start this thread? And to answer your origional question, the Tavor has better reviews.
