IWI Tavor 7 .308 Bullpup Review

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 พ.ย. 2019
- IWI Tavor 7 Bullpup in 7.62x51 NATO is the big Brother to the X-95 and TAR-21 in 5.56 NATO. Super compact and light on recoil, this Bullpup delivers at the range. Thanks to IWI for supplying the Tavor 7 for the review. #Tavor7 #IWI #Bullpup

That’s a good looking bullpup battle rifle ever made!!!
Roger that!
Anyone know if it can take steel bullets? heard conflicting reports... I wanna be able to really shoot this
Steel bullets?
@@borkwoof696 steel cased
@@MrSatelit28 vhs-2 is 5.56.
My love of guns goes beyond just shooting. I love the histories and engineering genius behind firearms.
Trae UCity I can understand you find guns fun. But to say its a revolutionary industry I don’t understand. The way this industry works is kind of like automobiles in the sense that entry barriers for new companies are huge. This doesn’t drive innovation. Nothing really changed in the last 60 years. I could totally imagine a new doctrine like electric cars did for the automobile industry should be possible in the firearms industry. Just a feeling tough..
@@nickbroekman9360 he didn't say anything about being revolutionary though?
I just love the look at the sound of them
You should consider gunsmithing if you aren't one yet.
@@nickbroekman9360 That's quite the extrapolation of the original comment
To me, the Tavor it’s the most beautiful thing out there! Love mine and would NEVER get rid of it. Great review !
This is will be my 1st rifle.
@@TheRenaissanceMan3 Excellent choice! You’ll not regret it 👌🏻
@@eduardovillalon7496 did you get the 16 or 20”?
I think this is what I will buy if I am granted a license! I’ve been researching it and it seems like a solid buy! Looks awesome.. where I live it would cost 3500 so not cheap…. But appears worth it! Cheers!
This is my favorite review on this gun because instead of just saying it's easy to swap it to left handed and kinda talking about how, you actually show it.
Got mine about a week after it came out. Love it. Agree with all your comments. For me it's the perfect 7.62 NATO platform. An if you know how to take advantage of the bullpup design you can outshoot any AR10 in just about every position but prone. It may be less accurate on paper but it's practical accuracy more than makes up for it by nature of its better balance and controllability.
Outshoot any AR10? Absurd.
@John B and fn got nothing on hk417
John B for 1500 hundred more, it has to be better.
When I got my Tavor7, it was with hunting in heavy timber for bear and white tail in mind. After shooting it with my long time favorite .308 hand load for that purpose, I discovered that my particular Tavor7 will shoot at and into 1 inch @ 100 yards consistently. Shooting out to 400 yards, it hits right where it's pointed! These rifles are accurate and reliable beyond what is being reported in my opinion.
@JamesWitworth I just bought mine and am having trouble finding a legit answer to the question of using 308 ammo instead of 7.62x51. So, can you use 308 ammo without issue in the Tavor 7?
Whoa! We get a review and "BONUS", a takedown and changing of rifle into a left handed configuration? Awesome showcase of this rifle sootch!
Gotta give credit where it's due... That's one heck of a battle rifle! Only way I could afford this one is if I got the "Newly Divorced Model". Good review 👍 thanks.
Upgrade ! 🤔
After the 1:12 twist and suggested 150 grain max weight round was acknowledged, at the range immediately go with 180 grain ammo :)
Honestly looks really attractive..I had my mind set on the DD DDV SBR..but this unit is way shorter with a much longer barrel AND it’s piston. Very nice.
Is the 180 grain comment serious? Legit question, I just want to get the right ammo.
@@joshmatlock3410 I was only pointing out in the video how he stated lighter weight bullets were better. He went on to say with this rifles twist rate of 1:12, the maximum bullet weight should be 150 grain. Fast forward to the range…what does he say they’re using?
180 grain ammo! That was a head scratcher. Personally I’m not too familiar with 308 twist rates so I’d just research it and make your best decision. I’m sure you’ll be fine. HOWEVER…Wasn’t he complaining about the shot groups being kind of large? Maybe because they were using heavier rounds like they should not have been.
this is the first time i've been excited about a gun in a long time. that's dope as hell.
I always know when I am looking at a rifle or pistol to come here and enjoy a wonderful review that goes into plenty detail on the pertinent items. Thank you for what you do sootch!
What slick engineering for the ambi swap and love the captive pins. Nice.
You are a stellar reviewer. I love the way how you have more positive things to say about any rifle or gun you are reviewing. I admire that.
That design is so thoughtful to the end user. Definitely in my wish list!
Sootch, thanks for reviewing this rifle. I've been considering purchasing one, and now the decision has been made! Being left handed, no need for expensive modification. By the way, Robbie shooting right handed? The lefties are disappointed! Sarah seemed to have no issue with the rifle! Nice!!!
*That's the perfect 7.62x51 for me......I'm getting one the next time I see it offered.*
*Update; Got one!......I just happened to find a Tavor7 SAR, with the 20 in. barrel.......So Stoked!*
Excellent review, I love my Tavor X95 in 5.56, I can only imagine how awesome this rifle is.
It has interesting features, but it doesn't solve any real problems that are not already solved by previous designs. A 10 lbs semi automatic rifle chambered in 308/7.62 with minute of man accuracy can be had for half the price.
@@Rif_Leman I have one, build quality is fantastic.
@Rif Leman but is it as short with the same ballistics? That's half the point of this.
Love your channel and the opening music on Tavor 7 video.
Excellent review as always. Now to find 1 in stock. Thanks !!
The opening sequence with everyone shooting was AWESOME!!! I’m saving up for my next weapon and am debating between this one and the X95.
A 308 tavor? Looks like everybody's getting coal for Christmas but me this year LOL
After SHTF coal is appreciated
My kids are all adults now, so the only get Christmas cards! I can buy guns without any guilt or remorse!
That’s cold-blooded man, LOL.
Fucking awsome
@@colt45peacemaker Weird to think that a few loose rounds of ammo is now (2020/2021) considered to be a stocking stuffer !
What I love most of this new tavor is its dual configuration engineering genius.🤗🥰 Oh! How I wished to have that one!
great review
I like your funny bloopers at the end of a video of yours. Always find them hilarious. Lol
Great review. Just bought one because of the review.
like the way that you guys tested the accuracy on this by setting it on a table with a sturdy stand that is more molded to the shape of the gun. I’ve noticed other shooters on TH-cam that will test the rifle for accuracy in prone position but you will see the rifle itself rock to the right or left as they’re firing or you’ll see a lot of movement front to back. Nice job. I got the 20 and am excited to try it out.
I’ll also say the vertical foregrip makes a world of difference.
Buying one today. Very excited
Thank you for this thorough review.
M-14s with 1:12 twist firing 168gr HPBT bullets dominated the National Matches at Camp Perry for over 20 years.
Nowadays if you want to maximize the potential of 308 at least with factory loads you need a 1/10 to run 185gr FGMM but the Tavor isn't accurate enough to justify the use of such ammo anyway nevermind the fact that it's as heavy as most DMR's.
Weight is important to me. All things said, I would go with the M-14.
I've been running 168 Nosler BTBT hand loads in my Tavor 7 for a little over a year now. I get consistent 1 moa at 100 yards and sometimes, when I'm having a good day, a bit less... Water filled gallon milk jugs at 400 yards are easy to hit with this rifle. The 1-12 twist is entirely suitable for bullet weights up to 180 grain. I've hand loaded for for the .308 for nearly 50 years and the majority of those rifles have been sub 1 moa, many going sub .5 moa all with a 1-12 twist shooting 165-168 grain bullets...
As always a great video. Thanks Don.
You are shooting 180 grain bullets for accuracy with a barrel sporting 1/12 twist designed for 150 grain era and lighter. I just found this rifle. Fits my needs. Can't wait to leave California. LoL
Liked it so much, I had to have one. Thanks Sootch!
1/12" twist still decent accuracy with 180g match king with this Tavor.
Been waiting for this!!
my all time favorite rifle. an amazing battle rifle
REcoil like a 556 don't think so it's kicking like a full 308 recoil that or I need glasses.
Yeah, people lose so much credibility when they start making those claims. You can't beat physics
@@FlyingNDriving perception might give wrong impression of what is going on see for example optical illusion. but what you care about is what you perceive and yet it is *almost* completely subjective, if that guy perceive the recoil less than the 556 variant it might be for him.
@Roger Boyd how so ?
@@FlyingNDriving Mine has far less perceived recoil than a PTR or AR10. I know that for sure.
I bought one and took it to the range. I wouldn’t have known I was shooting it if it wasn’t for the holes showing up in the paper. It really feels like a squirt gun when your shooting it. Almost no recoil. 😆👌🏾
What a beautiful and deadly piece of engineering
The RIFLE IS SICK!
That girl is getting rocked! 😆
Sweet rifle though. Love my X95!
Very helpful, really enjoyed, thanks
I know B4 the company flipped the middle initial, and went from IMI to IWI they built some quality baby eagles in 9mm !!
According to many Greek news websites the Tavor 7 is one of the, strong, contenders for the Greek Army new batlle rifle that will replace the HK G3 This is why I took a look at your very informative video.
Man I love your videos .... Thanks !
I like it but seems to have a lot of twist while shooting,I understand it's application,but I'd prefer 5.56 just my opinions
Great video sir ☕️👍
Excellent review, good for a big game too with hollow point bullets :)
Very cool video man !
Love from Korea!
Digging the BCM shirt!! Nice video as always!!
And, I want one. ... It's a shame that the 20" barrel version is impossible to find at the moment.
Edit: Relating to that end quote, more people should take that to heart.
Saving up for one!
Master Chief called... he wants his DMR back.
Good video brother keep up the good work stay safe out there brother.
I gotta say, brother...you've got the coolest outro line in all of the youtubes! lol
And as always....have nice day.
I need this and the x95 to go with my galils!! Anything IWI makes is gold
I was just watching your review on the iwi jericho. What a coincidence.
I love it good video brotha I need to get this so it can be a set with my 556 one.
Saving up to get one of these, I think it will be a good brush companion down here in the south while also being a potential battle companion if ever needed
Great review, and a great rifle
Thanks for another great review. This Tavor 7 makes a great hunting/defense rifle. I love the .308 caliber. I am sure IWI will develop a 5,56x45 version. I wish I could get one, but way out of my price range. You did not show the complete disassembly by show the the short stroke piston. I am a skilled shooter, so whether it is a bullpup or a full size rifle, I will still shoot either rifle well. With practice I am able to handle both platforms proficiently. It's moa is very good for a service rifle.
The Tavor 7 looks like it recoils harder than any AR15 I've ever fired!!!
Keep these videos coming and I’m gonna have to explain why my kids can’t go to college... they never had chance anyway
What a beast of a gun. I desire it....
Tavor in 308 is on my Christmas list
Ok...I seriously want this beauty!
I have no idea what he was explaining. But loved how he explained it.
Great review
Gotta love when Sooch gives a review, Every single one is a positive as he gets paid upwards of $7K for it
You'd do the same.
I STILL want one. I've been so close to ordering online, but would sure like to handle the damn thing first. None at local gun shops, none seen at any gun shows I've been to. And the price just keeps going up. Best price on gunbroker is $2024, no cc fee and shipping included.
Beautiful design
This is the only bullpup I want!
MDR is better
I hate on bullpups all the time but always kind of liked this one…got a wild hair up my ass and decided to check this out and of course I gotta see my main man sootch and HFS I NEED THIS IN MY LIFE
Good review.
Wish for sure!
I love it, Tavor 7 !!!!
Thanks for the awesome review. If i had the $$ i will defo buy this one.
I really want one!!
Great Rifle Jc.
Great video
That's a big boy 👍
I want one of these!!
Only problem is that while this gun is allowed in my city, standard mags aren't.
I absolutely love IWI and all of there products. Especially the Tavor platforms tho. And as always great work and videos @Sootch00
Google USS LIBERTY
I have the Galil Ace 1651 rifle. I really love it.
Nice. I have the GAP39SB, their 7.62x39 pistol. Love it. Almost got the rifle in 7.62 NATO rifle but when I held the Tavor 7 at the great outdoors show I changed my mind. Got it a month or so ago. Loving it so far.
I’m starting to love the m16 and the tar 21 🥺🤞so beautiful I just want to eat them up😩😩
Yet another fine, informative, useful video presentation...thank you! Can you tell me, please, what is that music at the end? I must hear more of it!
I am interested in this. I live in a restricted state so getting AR10s is not easy or cheap. I also live in an urban area so my philosophy of use (other than range) is CQB- SHTF - in the streets/house to house clearing situation.
the 20 inch version seems to be the way to go...
No 20inch version is available as of now.
Very good review of the Tavor 7. I like this bullpup... but I like the Desert Tech MDRX too. What do you recommend?
I didn't see your video comparing the Tavor 7 to the Desert Tech MDRX on your channel. Hopefully, you will still do that as I'd really be interested in that. Thanks.
Thank you.
This set up actually works in the game to
Hi Sootch, new multi tool,the apocalyptic ;)good bless you, Good bless America long live the Republic, tactical commentary to conquer the range ;)
I absolutely love mine. I only added a red dot scope. everything else is original.
Still looking for one. I have an original Tavor in .556 and a one year old x95 in .300 blkout, just need the Tavor7 to finnish out my Tavor triad.
very nice!!!
I try to like the bullpup design. Just cant do it. Great video.
Being from IWI, this should be the most reliable 7.62NATO bullpup on the market right now. It even has a nice compensator right out of the box. I'm a proud owner of one of the latest Kel-Tec RFBs, 18" barrel, but I had to order a muzzle brake because it just came with a A2 flash hider. Very effective flash hider but not so much for recoil.
WTH ! Just great Don ! Now I want one of these.
Yeah I want to see the comparison between the Desert Tech and the iwi Tavor 7
MAC (militaryarmschannel) talks about owning both in his tavor .308 review and speaks frankly about both having rough starts but are now great after being refined. Says he just never felt the MDR was of military grade durability whereas the tavor is. We all get to spend our own money on what we want so to each their own
Desert tech is probably a budget knockoff version
The Whole left handed thing was an insta sell for me to be honest. Plus the compact shape makes it perfect for close quarters combat if that ever became the situation
Another great thing is it's shorter than some SBRs, yet, having cleared the minimum barrel and overall length minimums, it isn't an NFA tax/license (and effectively registered) item. It's just a regular rifle.
Good looking. I drive for uber so I will have to drive a lot more if it is made in a nj legal variant
Good review and I agree with the conclusions you came to. Just a shame you couldn't give us groups at 100y.
If it could match or be less weight than the scar 17 this rifle would appeal to me. Thanks!
Nice, very nice 👌.
