I'd prefer my #### any day. More reliable than any rifle I've ever used.. LOL
That being said, I'm curious to know how the Tavor works. Heard so much about them, I'm looking forward to a "hands on". But, I can't see my way to spending that much money for one.

Well, thanks to Tiriaq and the OSA boys, we got the chance to play with the Tavor.
Nice little toy!
I'm a lefty, and it was set up for a right handed person, so I shot it right handed and was very impressed with how good it felt, even "backwards"..
It's an easy pointer, and would make a good CQB rifle "as is"..
Nice, solid little gun... If I was rich, I'd buy it.. LOL

OSA would like to thank Chris at Canada Ammo for making the TAvor available.
The rifle can be reconfigured for southpaw shooters, but this being a borrowed rifle, we did not want to take it apart.
On Friday, I fired the rifle to confirm basic zero. A number of OSA members fired the rifle Saturday. I have the opportunity to spend some time with it today after we had finished packing up after the match. I am sure others will post their impressions.
In my opinion, the rifle is outstanding. Its ergonomics are excellent. Its balance and configuration make it very stable in all positions. In prone, it is superb. The magazine provides one rest, the left hand under the grip a second, and allows fine control of elevation. Sitting or kneeling, the bottom of the grip sits naturally and easily on the knee. Standing, the support elbow can be tucked against the ribs, and the weight of the rifle is between the left hand and the shoulder. I tried some CQB double and triple taps; very easy and controllable. Magazine changes may not be quite as fast as with an AR, but the catch is easy to hit, mags drop free, and the release is easily tripped when the mag is seated.
There has been discussion about the Mepro sight. The Tavor/Mepro is a superior CQB rifle. Beyond 100m, the dot covers too much of the target for preceision shooting. For more general application, an Elcan, ACOG, Leupold, etc. would be needed. I would really like to try the rifle at longer ranges, with a more suitable sight. It gives every indication of being inherently accurate, and it is very easy to shoot well.

Good times at the 3 gun match today.... what a lot of fun as usual.
The Tavor was a riot to shoot at 100m after our matches and awards ceremony... I'm going to crank up a report on the Black Rifles section. I had a great time with that handy little boomstick.
Okay, here's the report on the TAVOR...
