Figured I get a new weapon to play with. Shot it in Israel and rather liked it.

What optic are you using on the Tavor?

Thank you.
I used Aimpoint PRO but my experience was limited - I enjoyed the maneuverability of the weapon but as I say my time was limited. Some magnification may be needed by me past 100 yds that's why I inquired.

Based on your avatar and your mentoring, I can't fathom how you'd like it. Your wind reading, range estimating, ballistics calculating, coriolis adjusting, spin-drift ignoring aptitude all go to waste with that platform :D

frostfire - it's a toy and no longer had a 5.56 fun platform. ;)

How do you like the bullpup design?

I have no problem with it. I like the feel and balance. I have used them in the past.

Master Rick, so I take it you like the trigger as is and won't be installing the $$$ Geissele Tavor trigger :D ?

I will probably do a drop in yes. But these style rifles are not for accuracy, just getting rounds on target ASAP.

What's the twist? Are you sticking with 55gr?

Had the pleasure of playing with the X95 today. Holee-sweet-cheese-and-crackers, the trigger feels night and day better than the Tavor. The bolt lock and mag release ergonomics also get solid improvements. Very tempted to shell the $$$ with mil discount now.
On a side note, between the promotional videos and today, I am convinced one has to have solid weapon handling, instructing, and beautiful to boot to work as rep for IWI. I pretended it was my "first time" so the purdy instructor spent more 1:1 time with me going over the Israeli six points of contact method :D

Was there this morning with my son and his wife. Heather had never shot anything like that before and I had her shoot the Nemo 300 with suppressor. She was real pleased with herself when she hit a target. :)
