No official launch sate has been set yet by IWI., and that price is not accurate certainly not for msrp, msrp is $2099

$1680 is way below dealer cost.

Meh. It's fine by me where it's at. It's on par with most battle rifles on the planet, and I personally don't utilize bullpups for long distance work anyway.

I agree with you 100% but I also want to clarify what the article said, which was:

For a better part of year and a half of extra testing on the rifle we have come to the conclusion that the Tavor 7 will not get the accuracy of 1.5 MOA that we set out to get. Overall the weapon system as a whole was never designed in a way to achieve this 1.5MOA. It was designed to shoot minute of man on today’s battle fields with a high degree of reliability. In the last update I posted we got it down around the 1.5MOA but we gave up too much in other areas so that simply wasn’t the answer.
So they didn't get to 1.5 MOA, they said they got to around it, pedantic i know. However I would hate for people to get their hands on these and then start stating the IWI claimed in some interview that it was 1.5 MOA rifle.  Either way I like IWI and i love bullpups and so long as it's 3" capable it's probably better than I am without some serious optics and a great trigger. It will be interesting to see one when they come out, i'm looking forward to getting my hands on one.

Agreed that's why i felt the need to put the little disclaimer post above yours. I am in no way affiliated with the rifle but I get tired of seeing posts about rifles being terrible on accuracy when a) they were never designed to be marksman rifles and b) people are shooting cheap or mid grade ammo through them. Again not that anyone has suggested that here was just trying to share my 2 cents.

Yeah they were saying their sample rifles were averaging 2.3 MOA. I really wanted that MOA precision, but I said awhile back I would be fine with battle-rifle level accuracy and I stand by that. It’s a .308 Tavor, not a precision gun. I have precision guns, but I do not yet have a .308 Tavor. At the end of the day, 2.3 MOA is still respectable, and better than a lot of rifles.

The U.S. military's accuracy standard for M80 Ball (boxed or on stripper clips) is a mean average radius of 5 inches at 600 yards for all groups tested from a given lot of ammunition. That measurement loosely equates to a 10-inch circle or approximately 1.6 MOA at that distance.

I think that people want the potential even if they’ll never get close to reaching it.

I’ll buy one if it can shoot 2.3 moa.

That’s what, 14.4” at 600 yards? I’ll absolutely be happy about that with a 26” overall length .308

I’d like to see other semi auto .308’s that same size shoot that well.

Quite frankly i'd be lucky to hit a barn door at 600 yards these days so yeah i think 2.3 MOA is more than reasonable.

My favorite are the ones making those claims with mil spec fmj. Yeah ammo that’s like 2 now capable from the inherent inconsistency round to round but internet cherry pick boasting everything is moa or better. Usually no pics with these claims or a cherry picked one with “fliers” or “those other holes are from *insert excuse here*” if there are any.

Ok, I'm on the MOA Challenge page 25: https://www.ar15.com/forums/Precision-Rifles/-ARFCOM-1-MOA-ALL-DAY-LONG-Challenge-/17-51/?page=25

$900 AR shooting .62moa with a 50gr HSM load, off a bipod and rear bag.

Yeah, a lot of tacti-wannabe folks make bullshit accuracy claims all the time, that is what the challenge/callout system is for.  But a lot of people (including myself) can put a rifle that is capable of 1moa or better to good use.  Tavor 7 still has a role, but without high levels of accuracy that role is considerably reduced.

Or lets put it another way:

If the average shooter shoots 3-5 moa out of a 1 moa gun... whats that shooter gonna do with a T7?

(& I wanted one, I really did... still want a Atrax export/AR model too)

Precise rifles are always preferable to non-precise rifles, all things else equal. But all things often aren’t equal, and their post was worded such that it sounded like they were compromising on other factors just to get it down to around 1.5 MOA. I can see why they wouldn’t want to compromise on those areas, whatever they were, for that <.8 MOA in gained precision.

Precision is the sum of the inconsistencies of the system. Ammo, rifle, environment, shooter, etc. If their setup did 2.3 MOA all things considered, that’s not bad. Not amazing, but not bad. It’s a bullpup “battle rifle” not a benchrest gun. I’ve shot my Tavor from a bench when zeroing it, it’s a huge pain in the ass.

It’s the triggerguard x95 grip with idf side panels. The x95 grips swap by loosening a screw in the pistol grip. Easy peasy.

View Quote
It was stated it was done with match ammo, I don’t know the specifics of what ammo that means. I do know that FGMM 168’s and 175’s were included in the testing, and I’d hedge my bets that the results were made from one or the other. Something to keep in mind is that’s an honest 2.3 MOA. As in, it was gathered across multiple rifles, and several groups per rifle, without alibi shots or cherry picking rifles, groups, or shots within groups.

That number was not made using the GD standard of measuring MOA precision by taking the best 3 of 5 shots of the best single group shot all day. I think our standards here are often a little mismatched with reality. A real-world no BS 2.3(ish) MOA precision average, especially from a semi-auto .308 duty-oriented bullpup, is absolutely fine by me.

I’m 99% sure it’s fine with either. The only reason I’d not be 100% is due to people asking the question in the first place. On their FB group they discussed testing it with various ammunition’s that are only available in .308. I can only assume the manufacturers were testing their rifles with ammunition their rifle is made to handle.

Multiple people are saying IWI told them the same. I’m going with fake news.

They likely put 7.62X51 because they’re a military manufacturer and sell largely to military clients. But like most everyone else that makes modern 7.62X51 rifles, they make them to handle .308.

This is like when ARs say .223. Yeah some of the older ones meant exactly that, but these days the two are used interchangeably so much in common parlance because manufacturers label them whichever is convenient, but by and large, make them to handle 5.56 pressures.

The location of the ejection port presents the single biggest tactical weakness of the bullpup configuration.  If IWI could've implemented switchable ejection similar to the Beretta ARX, I would be all over this rifle.  As it is, having to pull the carrier & rotate & reinsert the bolt is only slightly less cumbersome than the 5.56 Tavor series.  I'm a little surprised they didn't go the extra mile on th ou s particular feature.
