Hey Guys,

Trying to figure out an optic suitable for the Tavor. I didn't want to get a heavily magnified optic as it would be frustrating to try and hit things accurately out far.

I was thinking maybe a 1-8x24 of some sort (or close to it).
I think that would allow this .308 2-3 moa to have its best chance in the Bush and on the range.

Havent seen any discussions on optics like there was for the Stag 10.
 
I was thinking that if I get one, I will be putting a 5x prism optic on it. Primary arms makes these, and CTCS sells them. To date I have two Primary Arms 1-8 ×24 optics, and I really like them. So, I would be willing g to try the 5x. The optic has a rail to mount a small red dot, as well, if one wants to go that route

I have the PA 5X prism, great optic as good as the ACOG and dosen't put a hole in your wallet. Solid build Lifetime warranty etched reticle with red/green illuminated horse shoe. The reticle is far more intuitive than the ACOG. They also

The heart of our tough Gen II 5X Prism Scope is the ACSS reticle that combines ranging, wind leads, moving target leads, and ballistic drop compensation out to 800 yards. To the right of the horseshoe is our integrated ranging system. Place the bottom of the target on the bottom rung, and range up. If you know your targets are roughly 18 inches wide, they can be ranged on the side Auto Range system, or directly on the BDC hold overs! Two dots on either side of the inner horseshoe offer a moving target lead moving with an average speed of 8.6 MPH. Each step of the BDC system includes a 5 MPH wind hold, drastically improving first hit probability at any range. As an added bonus, the glass etched reticle does not require batteries or illumination, but 10 brightness settings (5 red and 5 green) allow for fast acquisition in close quarters, or enhanced visibility in fading light, powered by a common CR2032 battery!

The PAC5X Gen II has even greater flexibility than ever before. The modular base includes a spacer allowing it to be configured for AR-15 / AR10 or AK-47 / AK-74 pattern rifles with ease. The included thumbscrew mount can also be removed and replaced with any mount that accepts AR-15 carry handle-type optics. The top rail, perfectly suited for your favorite accessories or piggy-backed red dots, can also be removed for a slick look and reduced weight. The PAC5X offers the perfect amount of magnification to balance close quarters speed with hits at medium and long range, in a flexible and durable package

From my personal experience, the ACOG’s and the Elcans are outdated equipment. Have owned both and have sold both.
ACOGs (actually any fixed magnification optic really) is outdated tech. Why limit yourself to 4x only?
The Elcans atleast offer a mix between 1x & 4x (or more should you go with the bigger version) but still, 4x leaves a lot to be desired. Plus they’re bulky, have a very short eye relief (as do the ACOGs although not an issue on a Tavor)
My honest opinion through my own actual experience, if an Elcan or an ACOG turn you on, just get a red dot & a flip magnifier. You have the option between 1x & magnified, but if you don’t want to run the magnifier and lighten up your rifle, remove the magnifier.

That being said, LPVO’s are by far superior to those options.
The nightforce NX8 is a great optic and one of my go to’s. Have had it for a year or two and have been exceptionally pleased with it. My only complaint is the center dot, while great at 1x, it’s a touch big at 8x should you want to do some “more precise” work with it. I’ve used S&B short dots as well, but the ones I’ve used would be better replaced by the NF ATACR 1-8 in that price range. Haven’t used the dual CC though and that’s supposedly the cats ass for LPVO’s currently, but on the top end of the price spectrum also.
I liked the accupower 1-8 upon inspection but haven’t actually used it. This was my initial entry plan into LPVO’s but the NX8 1-8 was released shortly after and I liked its smaller footprint over the accupower.
Another option that’s on the lower end of your budget is the eotech vudu 1-6 with the 7.62 ballistic reticle. I’ve no field use with this thing, for now, but I snagged one from Wild West for 1000 bucks on Boxing Day for a Stag10 build I’m doing for a friend. They seem like a viable option that have good reviews if you don’t want to spend a ton of money.


Realistically, the most important thing you figure out is what you want to spend first. No sense in telling you the Schmidt & Bender dual CC is the optic for you, only for you to realize 4500 for an optic is 4x what you want to spend.
 
elcan specter is what I'm running, if not I had an eotech with magnafier before. Comes down to cost and comfort, not every scope, sights and red dot are made for everyone.

Fixed optic = fewer moving parts which means less to go wrong, and less stuff needing adjustment.

The ACOG eye relief REALLY depends on which ACOG you choose - some are MUCH more forgiving than others. Valid point with Elcans though.

Mine will be mounted with a Elcan 1X3x9, bought this optic when they had a great sale.

Good choice. I picked up one as well for another rifle.
 
The Acogs standard mount is too low on a flattop tavor 556 It’s usable but definitely need a riser I’m guessing it would be the same deal with the tavor 7
 
This thread sucks without pics!

I initially thought that a spare Elcan DR 1.5 & 6x would be the answer for the Tav7, but the weight and short eye-relief left me dissatisfied and looking elsewhere...

Next I toyed with a Burris RT6, 1-6x Low-Power Variable Optic. I have two of these scopes, which are quite good for their retail price of just under $600 (without the Fastfire III and PEPR Mount). After giving the RT6 a try I decided in favour of a bit more magnification and better glass to wring the maximum capability out of the Tav7 and it's reported 1.5 MOA accuracy standard. I finally settled on the Trijicon Accupower 1-8X, which has served me well on other .308 mid-range platforms. I was able to ring the IPSC gongs at 300 and 500m with satisfying regularity using the Tav7 and Trijicon Accupower just the other day. Good enough for me!
