    What is that scope, looks like a Dragunov sniper rifle scope. Strange 1/9 twist, what bullet weight are they wanting to optimize? Interesting huh

    I don't think that is an ideal platform for a DMR. You can have an accurized "anything" but most won't be a sniper rifle.
    It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

    Oh my, one more steaming pile of IWI wet dreams.

    IMI/IWI has always suffered from having some idiots working there.

    The one gun they inherited and couldn't think enough to have it evolve to where it should be was the Uzi.

    The problem is gun control in Israel, with really no gun culture how can you make good stuff?

    You can't.

    What changed? I remember pics of girls on the beach with slung M-16s. I remember watching some documentary completely unrelated to firearms about growing things in "near desert environments" and the scientist was working near some border and had a Uzi bungee corded on the back of his ATV. He never pointed it out or mentioned it specifically, only that he was working in a "troubled" region but it was clearly there.

    I don't think the Galil was the failure some think it was, it was patterned almost directly on the Valmet which is a pretty successful platform. But like the FAL and half a dozen other guns, what makes it very reliable also limits it's precise accuracy potential which is why FAL and Galil "sniper versions" are a bit of an oxymoron, why National Match AKs are a joke and why the Dragunov had to be invented for that role.

    Also Israel had a choice, try to develop a precision Galil that might result in even more serious reliability problems or just take free M16A1s from the US in the form of foreign aid.

    I love my Tavor, granted it’s the only product they produce that I own but that one is gtg as far as I am concerned.

    Everything Ive watched and read says the new Galil ACE is a pretty decent rifle.

    A free floated 308 version would probably be decently accurate. Probably wont be on the level of modern sniper rifles but I bet it would make a decent DMR.

    I had a .308 Galil ARM, it was nothing impressive.

    My FAL, HK91 and M1A shot circles around it all day long. Not sure if it was the least accurate 308 I've ever owned, but it was close.
