Who would still pick an AR over a US-made Tavor?

[Tacti-square]

Just watched a couple Nutnfancy vids on the IWI Tavor in which he compared it heavily to the AR platform, specifically an SPR setup. He said a lot of great things about it but had some complaints concerning weight, trigger and caliber limitations. How many of you would still choose Stoner's design over the Israeli gun if you could have either? Please explain why.

If I want info on airplane mechanical issues, I may ask Nut'n Fancy. If I want info on guns, I'd look elsewhere.

I've owned bullpups. I'll stick to AR-15s.

Nutnfancy is generally regarded as a useless tool on this board.

I don't particularly like him either, he just had access to a system I was interested in. Forget about him then, just think about the platform. Is it more capable than the M4?

I rather get dental work done than watch him run a bolt gun.

While I would agree that Nutnfancy can stick his hour long reviews where the sun don't shine, I will say that LAV himself chimed in to the Tavor thread on the "Other Rifles" board and said he'd consider picking one up over an AR.

I wouldn't even take the time to post in a thread about another goofball Israeli designed firearm.....

Let alone consider spending GOOD MONEY on one.!

I own both, and would definitely take the AR. The difficult trigger and behavior in recoil make my performance suffer noticeably on the Tavor. The extra length vs. extra weight is a tradeoff. That said, the Tavor is fun and different and I'm not getting rid of it any time soon.

As much as I'd love own a Tavor, it just doesn't compare to an AR.

Not only in price but availability, aftermarket, and ability to modify/customize. My AR still wins.

No, welcome to the board....
