Number one is the cost!
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

The retail is around $2000, you can get them for under $1800.\u00a0 This is a pretty big downfall of the high cost. Some people feel this way about the cost.<\/p>\n

\"Saved<\/a><\/p>\n

Bullpup Configuration<\/strong>
\nYou should already know this Just by looking at it. Overall length is much shorter than a AR-15. Some people love them. Some people hate them<\/a>. They do have a lot of advantages and the disadvantages can be overcome with Training.<\/p>\n

\"Picture
Yea it is pretty space age the Bulpup design<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Uses standard AR-15\/M16 magazines<\/strong>
\nMost of us own a AR-15 and we have lots of wonderful Pmags around. It is wonderful we can use them on the Tavor. Also that Flat Dark Earth color looks good.<\/p>\n

100% Ambidextrous Configuration<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is a big plus for lefties. Good for cross training. Get your Magpul art of the gun skills going.<\/p>\n

Optional Conversion Kit<\/strong><\/p>\n

They have kits for 9mm and 5.45×39. This ammo is a lot cheaper to shoot. Can be as low as 13 cents a round.<\/p>\n

All that ammo!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

How about a SBR in 5.45<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Backup Iron Sights<\/strong><\/p>\n

These sights actual look pretty good. and that is a savings of $100. Not all models have this. Make sure the model you are looking at does.<\/p>\n

Tavor Weight is 7.9 Pounds<\/strong><\/p>\n

That is kinda heavy when you can get AR-15 at 6 pounds. Most of the weight is in the back of the gun and feels fine in a bulpup, but you be the Judge. IWI makes good stuff. This one may or may not be right for you. The deal breaker for me is the cost.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
