Yep.
Added SS trigger, Gear Head Works TMF Scout handguard, Magpul MVG, EXPS and Eotech magnifier. Love this thing. |

The Tavor with an aftermarket trigger pack is a great rifle. The trigger was always the big negative to bullpups but that's not the case any more with the aftermarket options now available. You've got a reliable and durable 16" barreled carbine that is short and reasonably light weight, very easy to mount optics, and has a good trigger. There's really not much more you can ask for.

The Tavor is a great rifle, however I think my Colt 6945 will always be my "go to" rifle.

Great rifle, shoots well suppressed, just waiting on the funds for a Sabra and the it will find much more time on the range.

I have half a dozen AR's in various configurations, a few of which high end makers.
Haven't fired any of them since getting my Tavor. |

'member back when the MSAR AUG was the shiznit? Then the real AUG? Then the SCAR?
At the end of the day, most of you will sell the Tavor when it's all said and done. We're always looking for and loving the newest and "greatest." Until the next one comes out.

Nope. Not here, I'll continue buying other things, but not selling my Tavor. |

My Tavor is my go to rifle now. I don't have any upgrades to it. The stock trigger on mine isn't too bad.

I really like my Tavor but in order for it to become my go to rifle, I'd have to seriously change up my collection. I have more AR15's than anything else, I shoot them more, and I'm so used to them that using them is second nature. So an AR15 is still my preference as a go to.
If I had a couple Tavors and mostly shot those...maybe then a Tavor could become the go to rifle. |

Since owning my Tavor for just over a year, all my other rifles are mostly collecting dust.
Personally, I have been infatuated with the bullpup concept since I first laid eyes on the Steyr AUG while stationed in Europe, but never found one that really fit what I expected from a rifle, until the Tavor. |

Mine hasn't replaced my AR's, but I do like it a lot. Upgraded the trigger and put a rail on it to bring the height up a little bit made for a nice difference.
Mine wears a 1-6 optic which makes it handy. |

My experience with a Tavor is handling one in a gun shop for about 10 seconds, I wasn't overly impressed.
Maybe running some drills with one or even just shooting it for a few minutes would change my mind, I don't know. For now, I'm going to go with 'no'. |

Go to? For me - oh yea!
Fully ambidextrous, only 26 1/8" long with a 16.5" barrel, takes STANAG magazines, designed for and used by the IDF, and the list goes on... I still love my ARs but this thing gets ALOT more play time  because its so much fun (especially CQB drills) and it can still easily reach out to 400+ yds. What's not to love.
Kitted out with the Geissele Super Sabra trigger, Midwest Industries ejection port cover & M-Lok hand guard, Seekins Precision flash hider, and a Tango Down Stubby vertical grip. |

My Tavor is second only to my M1 Garand in "like to shoot" category, I still shoot my beater AR's because I don't mind eating up the barrels with cheap ammo however
I am however working on keeping a steady stream of M193 available just for fun time shooting with the Tavor.

For me the answer is No. I have a Steyr Aug A3 and purchased a Tavor as a secondary bullpup rifle. After shooting it and learning the handling characteristics I sold the Tavor and kept the Steyr Aug. I don't have any particular go to rifle. I have a SCAR H, Colt AR15, Sig P716 and none of them are the go to rifle in particular. I am looking forward to getting the new Desert Tech MDR when it is finally released. I think this one may be my go to rifle. A reliable 7.62 Nato bullpup rifle that uses 25 rd MagPul magazines as well as X Products 50 rd drum mags. These features would put the MDR ahead of all of my current rifles. But, I would not sell any of the rifles I have left. The Tavor just wasn't a proper fit for me.

Now I've heard that the X95 is clumsy to reload when prone. Anyone do a lot of reloading with their Tavor while prone? Is it clumsier/slower than an AR? |

I like bullpups, and own the three majors (FS2000, Tavor, and AUG). I tend to prefer the AUG over the others. I have tried really hard to love each of them, in turn, more than a plain jane AR, but I will stay with an AR as my primary, "do everything" rifle. The pups just weigh a damn sight more than a similarly configured AR. The rifle I tote around most often is a Colt 6520 that I swapped to a flat-top receiver. With sling, Aimpoint, and BUIS it weighs about 6.25 pounds. Both the Tavor and AUG start at about 8 pounds before you add anything to the rifle. I know there all kinds of arguments spouted here about how the weight "disappears", or "it's closer to the body", but 2 pounds is still two pounds if you are hiking, doing presentations in a rifle class all day, etc. I'm waiting for the "holy grail" of a 7 pound or less bullpup to come along, but until then, it's my Colt for me. |

The Tavor is my go to rifle. I own 6 AR's, 2 AK's, an FAL, M1, a bunch of good bolt guns, etc.
My reasons: Short and fast pointing Designed as a piston rifle, not an add on to a DI design. AK long stroke piston w/ Stoner type locking bolt. The best of both worlds. No carbon build up/bolt sealing rings as on the AR design. One hand shouldering is easy Every bit as accurate as my 16" barreled AR's. Fast field cleaning design. Superior off hand ergonomics. It slings up well with with one or two point ready options. Charging handle location is more intuitive. AR is clumsy and awkward in comparison. Overall, it's a more robust design and looks to be more suitable for harsh environments. Takes standard M16 magazines. Proven in combat by the IDF. YMMV |

In the 5.56 platform, my Tavor has significantly diminished my interest in shooting AR-15's
But the Tavor has not diminished my interest in Kalashnikovs at all.....7.62x39 and 5.45x39 If there were a Russian caliber Tavor available, I would seriously consider buying one. |

I would say bullpups overall are becoming a go to rifle, not just the Tavor. I've got two ARs (both are SBRs) but the Tavor gets much more range time. I've shot with a member who was a hard core AK lover. Now he's all about the AUG and Tavor.
Look at other countries combat units, you'll see a bullpup somewhere in the armory. |

'The' go-to rifle? Sounds like it is for some although it's not for me. Not even close. That title is reserved for my Scar 16. Next up would be one of the ARs or the (suppressed, 18-inch .308) RFB.

"Go to" if you like a compact rifle similar to a SBR in length but with a full 16" barrel & ballistics and no tax stamp.
Its pretty nice for getting in and out of vehicles and confined space use. Just another rifle in the rack to use depending on the situation. |
