I used to think bullpups were cool. :p

Nice. I handled a Keltec .308 bullpup last sat and if price were no object I'd be compelled to try it out, good or bad.

I'm not current on the reviews of the Tavor. More is always better.

Looks promising.

I've owned the FS2000 and MSAR 556, and those left a bad taste in my mouth. Both fired 5.56x45 cartridges, but didn't suit my needs as well as the magnificent Stoner platform. Both fell short in terms of ergonomics for me, and I sold them off.

If the Tavor can be supported with readily available spare parts, good warranty/repair services, aftermarket accessories and a reasonable street price, I think it'll sell very well.

More options are always better for the end user.

If I was playing "truth or dare" and the dare was "let George Kelgren set a .308 off next to your head" I'd pick truth EVERY SINGLE TIME.

Awesome. Just awesome.

Personally, I absolutely love the Steyr AUG (ONLY the Austrian built versions). I am excited to see what the Tavor brings to the table as the reports I have gotten from some guys in elite units in Israel have been very positive.

That's what the guys at the LGS said too. Or words to that effect. :D :D :D

I've heard as many "shalom dear" as "oy vey" comments in regards to this rifle.
