Gothmog Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 Ok, here are some pics. No range pics but the Tavor and some targets ... Right hand side view.

Side view, iron sights deployed. View from back of Tavor, BUIS and front sight deployed. 100 yard 5 round group. Double Tapping and switching targets, shots from 20 to 40 yards, target 1.

Is it used by any military?It looks way complicated and hi-tech.I imagine it's an expensive rig.I sure would like to shoot that sucker.Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlecanoe Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 Is that what the Canadian and Brit soldiers are using these days? Looks familiar from some footage that I've seen on Liveleak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was developed by IMI to provide troops with a firearm more suitable for urban warfare. My friend (the importer) insisted on a 18.5" barrel so it would be non restricted in Canada. It is expensive ... the semi auto 'commercial version' is $3000 plus applicable taxes. And if you want to shoot it, just plan a vacation out my way.

No its what Canadian civilians are using these days. Our soldiers are using the Canadian version of the M16. The shipment has just arrived after about 2 years of sorting out details. I was out shooting mine yesterday. I think you are right about Liveleak, and Youtube for that matter. There was an episode of Future Weapons dedicated to it and excerpts from it have popped up in those places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doble Troble Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 Very cool. Do you have any problems getting 30 rd mags up there? I'm stocking up on them for my AR down here. There's a 3-gun match at our club coming up this Sat. That would be a perfect carbine for it. Do you Canucks have matches that you can shoot your Tavor in? Shooting in matches has really helped my shooting. And its damn fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlecanoe Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Well, I love that evil black gun and as DT stated, Very Cool. I'll have to work on an AR since they are everywhere and more in my price range. We should all have an evil black rifle though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roscoedoh Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 We should all have an evil black rifle though. Workin' on it!!! (Should own a couple very soon!) Goth, I love the new rifle. Bull pups never have been my "thing," but I do like the Izzy's newest rifle. I saw that episode of Future Weapons and it looks like the Israelis really put some thought into this one. Further, I'm impressed that you managed to get one loose from the Israelis. I wouldn't think they'd export something this new just yet?

Shooting in matches has really helped my shooting. And its damn fun. Mags are readily available, but we must limit them to 5 rounds by pinning them with a rivet or some other 'not easily altered' means ... yeah, I know, it sucks! I run action rifle matches locally, and have done so for the past 4 years ... in Canada! Check out my web site: tacrifle.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't think they'd export something this new just yet? Well, we paid through the nose to get them and there's not a whole lot of margin for dealers on that fairly steep price tag. That means the Israelis get the lion's share of the cash ... money talks, perhaps? We managed to get many more than one of these, as the first 300 are in the process of arriving right now (some have already been delivered) and there will be substantially more to come. There is much joy in Canada for the time being. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlunity Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Very nice indeed. What happaned to all those "Gun control laws" ? You are doing better than in Canada than I am in Cali. : ) karl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are doing better than in Canada than I am in Cali. : ) karl We still have gun control laws, but some things aren't affected as badly as some of US states. OTOH, at least you can move to a different state if you don't like the laws there. Changing countries is more difficult ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You rock, Gothmog (for a Canadian, and much better than a Californian [and I can say that because I used to be one {but that was when Reagan was Governator}}).
