I've owned both, and used them a fair amount on a KD range from 100 to 500m.
The FN's recoil impulse is noticeably more even than the Tavor.
In my experience with both at the 500m mound, the FS2000 was an honest 3moa, the Tavor around 6-8moa.

Adding to the pictures, my Tavor just got painted:

Ugh. Wishing I could get one!
Very NICE! I like the two tone paint job.
Nice paint job!
how does one go about ordering these?
Copes was doing a pre order but I belive they stopped taking them.
There was also a group buy at TOS on the bullpup forum that is closed.
Your best chance is to find a dealer who will put in an order with a distributor and wait, or pay $5 grand for one when they get dumped on gunbroker in the first few months.
Yea, Copes had 400 total allotted to them in various configurations. They said they would open for more once they sort all the pre-orders and figure out if they can snag a few more rifles. Kind of wish I had gotten one in FDE as well, really crossing my fingers this rifle makes it out into our hands. That and a 300BLK barrel kit would be nice (Also looking at you Steyr!) :D
I'm a big fan of bullpups. I have an AUG clone (AXR) and FS2000. Like both a lot but prefer the FS2000. Been patiently waiting for the Tavor to show up here. Just kills me every time I see pics of our friends up north having fun with this rifle so far ahead of us. Lucky bastards. ;) Can't wait.
Pictures?! You're not truly jealous till you've seen video ;)

In case anybody's interested, here's Michael Kassner with a huge stack of Tavors boxed and ready to ship.

It shouldn't be long now.
It's also kind of nice to see what must have been a lot of work over the past ~three years pay off for Mr. Kassner. I for one am appreciative of his efforts and pleased this is finally happening for him. It seems to mean a lot to him.
-Cheers
Congratulations!! That stack of Tavors looks STELLAR! A good buddy of mine and I ordered Tavors a few months ago and can't wait to receive 'em and put 'em through the paces.
Hurray!!! Finally!
Pre-order placed early, been waiting patiently :D
