TAVOR Range Report 
Tactical Tupperware Party ....
Had a free day and a chance to shoot a few hundred rounds of 5.56 today.
Did an informal side-by-side shoot with the Tavor, a HK SL8 G-36 as well as an 11.5" AR15.
Some shooting opinions about the Tavor ...
Accuracy was better than expected. The full 475mm bbl was great for accurancy and shot placement, although the Mepro M-21 sight was definately not for everyone. Bright day provided for a good sight picture but this wasn't the case while shooting from under cover (shade). Compared to the HK SL8 (3x hendsolt optic) the Tavor is far easier to handle (shooting while moving etc)
Being non-restricted the HK made for a good comparison model to the bullpup.
It was agreed that the ergonomics on the Tavor were a winner, although some prefer the standard rifle configuration. Only negative points were the inability for some guys to be able to get a good sight picture (personal preference). It was clear today that the bullpup had a nice advantage in accurancy as compared to the shorty AR15 (overall length comparable)... also not as loud as the 11.5" shorty.
Just my two cents .. this is a great rifle and well balanced. As with anything, there are personal preferences and minor adjustments needed, but the quality of the rifle is solid. Standard aluminum, and CF thermolds mags all fit, fed and functioned flawlessly for those who were curious. Additionally the shorter 20/5 and RRA 10 rounders also functioned without problems. (you may want the TAC PUL thing for the RRA mags) ... All mags dropped free although the mag release needed some getting used to... i understand these will be coming with steel mags.
Later the same day Tavor was compared side by side to a Norinco QZ97 as well as a Steyr AUG. The Tavor definately is quality piece of gear. With a proper sling set up (anything is better than the IDF seatbelt sling) this would make a great pack rifle or plinker.
Non restricted rifle options aren't so bad in Canada afterall. Thanks CanAm.

so compared to the aug, does the tavor win out, and what version of aug where you shooting?
Midlength is 9" right? Maybe Im asking for too many details... but that AR is exactly what Im trying to accomplish with my 11.5 and I have an MI 10" rail on the way, hopefully it looks close to that when all is said and done.
