    What experience do you have with the Tavor?

    Are you intimating that only someone who has used the AUG, FS, SCAR, XCR, ACR, and Tavor in real-world settings is capable of making a prognostication as to the market viability of all these guns?

    I would think user buzz, marketing strategy and budgets, seeding samples with noted writers, etc, would have more bearing on ultimate market acceptance than a single person's individual experiences, no matter how deep.

    None. Nada. Zip.

    But my comment wasn't about technical features, usability, ergonomics, suitability for a given intended use, durability, reliability or any other -ity. Just a broader observation that market forces work in aggregate and watching how potential customers are reacting to and talking about a new product can be a useful data point.

    Ultimately, this is thread drift in a technical forum, so I'll apologize to the members here and go back to reading.

    I got to shoot the new Tavor last week. Very interesting rifle.
    I was not the biggest fan of the trigger, but I assume that with a little more time you could easily master it. Having said that I DID shoot it will.

    The trouble is:

    1. We don't really have a lot of info on how well it has worked in Israeli service. I'm sure this info is out there.

    2. We don't have info about this new US produced version and how it has done once it gets to high round counts.

    There have been situations in the past where licensed copies of guns made in other countries did not run as well as the original. I'm not suggesting this is the case here. We've had recognized experts like Larry Vickers giving their initial impression. Most of us put a lot of weight in his first impression, but we still don't have info on how the US version performs with higher round counts.

    I'm not saying that the gun is good or bad. I'm saying that at this point it is too early to tell. I'm interested to hear more info as the gun gets used more.
