    Knights, Daniel or Tavor (Opinions Please)

    Hello:

    I am wondering which AR I should purchase next. I have a S&W Magpul Midlength which I love but I am getting a bonus from work so I figured I would treat myself to a higher end Rifle. I am looking at the following Rifles:

    - Knights S15 Mod 1
    - Daniel Defense (V7 or V1)
    - Tavor

    Is the knights worth paying the extra money. I like that the Tavor has the overall length of a 10.5 inch AR. Let me know your opinions.

    Thanks,
    Adam

    Knight's. I have a s&w magpul mid too. The SR-15 is in an entirely different class.

    The step up from a Daniel Defense to a SR15 is noticeable and worth the extra expense.

    The Tavor is unique, but if this is your one and only go with the SR15.

    Knight's, or if the Knight's was not available, I'd go with the Knight's. If I couldn't get one of those for whatever reason, I'd probably settle for the Knight's. Am I being too subtle? lol

    Daniel Defense also makes a great gun, and it isn't as if that would represent a swing-and-a-miss for you by any stretch of the imagination.

    The Tavor, while interesting, represents (to me, at least) one of those guns that we all thought was cool and rushed out to buy, only to spend the next few years trying to figure out what we were ever going to use it for, only to end up selling it. My last such episode involved a SCAR. For somebody else, it may have been an ACR or a piston gun or a monolithic. We've pretty much all been there.

    Unless you have your AR bases covered to your satisfaction, I wouldn't be wandering too far afield just to scratch an itch. Buy something equal to or better than what you already have.

    Like a Knight's rifle, for example.

    I would go with the DDM4 V7, a middy rifle that you know is gonna work with no proprietary parts.

    Light weight, nice tubular rail that you'll be able to add any rail segments in only the places you want. Less weight added benefit.

    Knight's.

    I say this as someone who owns and really, really likes the Tavor and doesn't own a KAC.

    I'm partial to Knights, but I'm bit biased because it's now my go-to carbine. It'll make you a believer.

    The propriety parts argument is a non-argument in my opinion.

    The proprietary parts argument is pretty hollow. One can pretty easily find a replacement bolt and gas tube on the inter-webs. Most people won't even shoot enough to damage a "commercial" grade bolt or similar parts, so unless you are a heavy-duty shooter, I wouldn't worry too much about it. That being said, if something does break, as I said above parts can be found.
